The Crafts of the Spirit: A Missional Vocation in the Book of Exodus

Last updated on: July 9, 2015 at 4:02 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Amos Yong This is the fourth installment of a series of posts by Dr. Yong on the theme of the “Holy Spirit and Mission in Canonical Perspective.” See all the posts here. If the first half of the book of Exodus preserves the all-important account of Israel’s historic deliverance from out of Egypt and culminates with the Song of the Sea, then the rest of this second book of Torah tells about the covenant between Yahweh and Israel at Sinai, and delineates details of...

Healing the Home We’re Trashing: A Reflection on Pope Francis’ Laudato Si

Last updated on: June 26, 2015 at 2:44 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Tommy Givens Cynicism is seldom a healthy response to deep corruption, but it is hard to resist in response to Pope Francis’s recent encyclical, Laudato Si, “Praise be to you.” For it systematically points out the obvious: We are destroying our earthly home; we should instead care for it, and we can. The reason for cynicism is not that the encyclical patronizes us, but that we would need to be told what is so obvious.... Read more

Who’s Cut Out to be a Preacher?

Last updated on: June 15, 2015 at 12:11 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Cameron Lee If you ask pastors what they love most about their ministry, many will say preaching. There’s just something transcendent about standing before a congregation after hours of rewarding and diligent study, passionately proclaiming God’s word, and seeing heads nod or hearing the occasional “Amen!” as the truth sinks in and lives are transformed. Well, at least that’s how it is according to the more romantic view of things that’s more common to people entering seminary than... Read more

Tony Campolo and “Coming Out” in Favor of Traditional Marriage

Last updated on: January 21, 2019 at 5:46 am By Guest Contributor

This week Tony Campolo became the latest in a string of Christian leaders and churches identified as evangelical to call for, in Campolo’s words, “the full acceptance of Christian gay couples into the Church.” Campolo’s announcement was hailed by some and vilified by others as his “coming out” in favor of same-sex marriage for Christians. In several respects, Campolo’s statement captures the incoherence exhibited among many “evangelical” gestures toward acceptance of same-sex sexual relationships. The statement evokes very real questions... Read more

Invocation: A Prayer of Transition

Last updated on: June 5, 2015 at 1:30 pm By Guest Contributor

By Michael Wright I wrote the following prayer specifically for our graduating class, and Laura Harbert read it after a period of silence at the beginning of our Baccalaureate service. I hope it’s useful for you regardless of whatever life transition you might be going through. Invocation God we’re startled by what this silence reveals: a knot of thoughts and task lists cluttered by movie quotes and news feeds but as we abide the knot loosens our own histories unspool into this room...

Is Christianity a Religion or Relationship? Worship or Ritual?

Last updated on: May 18, 2015 at 11:24 am By Guest Contributor

By Reed Metcalf I attended a church when I was younger that got ripped apart by a really nasty split. The fracture had more to do with manipulative leadership than anything else, but I could not help associating the congregation’s malfunction with its faith tradition, which was pretty high church. I never understood why we did things the way we did in that church in the first place, which made the whole system an easy target for me. The result... Read more
