The Challenge of Solitude

The Challenge of Solitude

Solitude is not easy for most of us in this world full of distractions. We’d rather not sit alone with our own thoughts. Yet, followers of Jesus have found solitude to be a key practice to help them to know themselves and Jesus.

Don't be a Fool

Don't be a Fool

Jesus teaches a lot about money - and even more about the Kingdom of God. The parable of the Rich Fool gives us a sobering picture of what it looks like when we get our priorities mixed up.

Persistent Prayer

Persistent Prayer

Injustice is rampant in our world. We can easily be overwhelmed by it. Yet Jesus gives us instructions about what our response ought to be through the parable of the persistent widow. Prayer is the first response of a faithful Christ-follower.

Hot or Cold

Hot or Cold

Tepid, lukewarm water isn’t very satisfying and we often spit it out. Jesus has some loving but hard words for a faith community that had lost its spiritual temperature.

Praying Against Evil

Praying Against Evil

You don’t have to look far in this world to find examples of injustice that make you upset. It was the same for David, who wrote in anger about those who take advantage of others. How do we pray about the ugliness of the world?

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

When Jesus was on the cross the Psalms were on his mind and on his lips. His experience of darkness ensures that we can experience the light of God.

How Long?

How Long?

Is it okay to be angry at God? The Psalms are full of expressive poetry and song, and often do express lament towards God. Psalm 13 shows us how to express our anger and yet still hold on to trust and praise.

God's Protection

God's Protection

Like a rock, God is solid, secure, and steadfast. God’s protection is communicated beautifully with several metaphors that David uses near the end of his life as he reflects on how God has been with him.

The Anatomy of Sin

The Anatomy of Sin

The pull towards sin is strong. King David’s greatest failure came when he was unable to stand against temptation. His failure teaches us a lot about how sin works in our lives.
