A Rule of Life
The human heart, like clay, is soft and pliable; throughout our lives it is conformed and shaped. The question is, into what?
Spiritual Disciplines
Discovering Our Self
Since we mostly live harried and hurried lives, pressed by multiple concerns and pushed in multiple directions, we easily miss noting God’s presence with us throughout the day.
Fasting and Feasting
We live in a culture satiated on consumption and comfort, where marketers play up our desires. Self-denial seems at best quaintly puritanical and at worst incomprehensible. Why go without?
A Quiet & Attentive Spirit
The spiritual practice of silence is simple, but it is one of the more forbidding disciplines for our day. It is a prophetic practice because it challenges our cultural way of being.
24/6 in a 24/7 World
While discussions about Sabbath have a history of joy-sapping legalism, the practice is one of the more prophetic habits for Christians living today.
A Listening Heart
Our focus on the pages of scripture, its grammar and syntax, can blind us to the simple reality that the word, written and read, was first a word of God, spoken and heard. The aim in reading the book is hearing the voice.
Pray Continually
Do your own prayers ever bore you? Do you sometimes come to the end of your prayers and wonder how you actually got there?
The Promise of Practices
Jesus’ expectation was that his followers would actually do the things he did and taught. Really, no joke.
Helping Busy People
If you’re like me, you want to know life—to enjoy a fullness in our living that accounts for the joys and heartbreaks of this world.
