Abortion tops a short list of angst-inducing moral issues generating a great deal of fervor and passion for a lot American evangelicals. For many, it’s the sole issue dictating how they’ll vote in any election. While you’d never find me arguing for the validity of abortion (I wouldn’t), I think it’s time for Christians to […]

Reblogged from ctkblog: “Do not be be afraid!” From angelic messengers calming witnesses to Jesus’ admonitions against anxiety, Scripture encourages us not to fear. The Christian message to the world is one of invitation and reconciliation and not dread and unease, but sometimes our message inspires more fear than faith. It isn’t intentional. There’s a […]

Reduced to tears,
She sits in the center of a hallway.
Trying, with all of her strength,
To let go of a dream.
Clinging to the hope of its fulfillment,
Not understanding the reality of its death.

Have you ever had to bury a dream?
Have you experienced the pain of
Knowing the tomorrow you so longed for
Would never come to pass?
Through a small window, she watches
As a young blue jay delicately balances
On the branch of a tree.
A message, from One completely other,
Floods into her soul:

     Do not worry about tomorrow, for I, My child,
     Am already there. Do not grieve the death
     Of your dream as an ending,
     But as an invitation to new life that only death can bring.

Closing her eyes, she wipes away the tears,
Inhaling deeply like a child newly born.

You can’t force people to accept the only true way of salvation found in Christ alone, but you can love them […]
