by Chris Tomlin Christ was “born to suffer, born to save, born to raise us from the grave.” The Apostle Paul tells it as a story of humiliation and exaltation. The humiliation looked like this: The Son of God was born in the likeness of men. He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death on a cross. (Phil 2:6-8). But then came the exaltation: God exalted His Son to the highest place and gave Him the name that is... Read more

Midnight Clear

Last updated on: November 30, 2015 at 9:57 pm By Guest Contributor

by Chris Tomlin The Apostle Paul says this world is groaning as in the pains of childbirth as we await our adoption as the children of God. (Romans 8:22-23) When the angels came to announce the birth of Jesus to Mary (Luke 1:26-38), Joseph (Matthew 1:18-23), and the shepherds (Luke 2:8-17), they knew the power of the message they bore. The deep longing for peace rising from this broken world was about to be satisfied. The angels came to lowly... Read more

Adore

Last updated on: December 3, 2015 at 6:10 am By Guest Contributor

by Chris Tomlin Jesus’s friend John describes the birth of Jesus as a light coming into the world. In Jesus, John says, was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:4-5) John goes on to say that whoever believes in Jesus is given the right to become children of God, which has been the cry of the heart for all humanity since the fall... Read more

“He Shall Reign Forevermore”

Last updated on: November 30, 2015 at 9:58 pm By Guest Contributor

by Chris Tomlin How do we worship the Savior born in Bethlehem? To start, we remember that He is more than a man who was born two thousand years ago. He is eternal. Christ was in the beginning with God, (John 1:2) and His steadfast love endures forever—His faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100:5) Even now, He reigns as our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6-7) The Lord we worship sits at the right... Read more

This Christmas, Let’s Adore Jesus

Last updated on: November 30, 2015 at 9:58 pm By Guest Contributor

by Chris Tomlin Come adore Jesus. Come see what God has done. Revere Christ as King. Imagine this King as a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. (Luke 2:12) During the holiday season, we are called to consider how, through Jesus, God has given us everything we need for life and Godliness. (2 Peter 1:3) Christmas is a time to remember and reflect on the significance of the birth of the Savior of the world, and what... Read more

Suggestions on an Evangelical Response to the France Attacks

Last updated on: November 30, 2015 at 9:49 am By Guest Contributor

by John W. Morehead Since the terrorist attacks in France by ISIS (Daesh) there has been a wealth of public discussion as to how the world should respond. This has also been the case among Christians. An article at Religion News showed a split among evangelicals, some like Franklin Graham arguing for military action, with others like Ed Stetzer arguing for more peaceful responses. In this blog post I won’t address this evangelical divide specifically, but instead will share four general suggestions... Read more

Divine Liturgist, Human Liturgies

Last updated on: November 19, 2015 at 10:48 pm By Guest Contributor

by Peter Leithart God speaks and light appears. He separates light and darkness, assigns names to each, and judges the whole to be good. Next day, He’s at it again, speaking, separating, assessing, judging. And so it goes throughout the days of creation: With an insistent, incantatory rhythm, God speaks, sees, names, judges. Poetic yes, but more fundamentally, creation unfolds as the enacted poetry of liturgy. From the first pages of Scripture, before we know much of anything about... Read more

How Modesty Became My Frenemy

Last updated on: October 28, 2015 at 8:44 am By Guest Contributor

by Allison Westerhoff Evil is the enemy, not our bodies. There is a large amount of chatter around the subject of modesty, yoga pants, and where women fit quite literally in the modest clothing wars. But modesty can serve as a double-edged sword. For most young Christian women it’s a confusing and divisive topic. It seems like we can’t decide if modesty makes you a prude, or if you don’t subscribe to it that you are promiscuous. But what about... Read more

Tomorrowland Not a George Clooney Environmental Critique

Last updated on: October 19, 2015 at 11:01 am By Guest Contributor

by Christopher Cone Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland was initially panned as “George Clooney’s global warming shaming,” but it has much greater aspirations than simply an environmental agenda piece. Roger Ebert recognized a broader ambition when he termed the movie “overreaching, basically Marxism Lite.” Oliver Gettell or the L.A. Times gets a bit closer, I think, when he observes that Tomorrowland is “a deliberate phooey to the kiddie carnage of movies such as ‘Transformers’ and ‘The Avengers,’ which frighten children about the...

A Ministry Mother’s Hall of Shame

Last updated on: October 7, 2015 at 5:29 pm By Guest Contributor

by Christina Ryan Claypool You might be a female pastor, pastor’s wife, ministry director, or dedicated church volunteer, but you’re also a mother. The two items you have in common are Kingdom responsibility and kids. Unfortunately, these two valuable commodities are not always compatible. Being a busy mom isn’t easy. It’s not even close to the storybook family that Facebook and Pinterest photos often misrepresent. According to the Barna Group’s FRAMES project, 76% of women in our nation reported to overall...
