Last updated on: December 22, 2021 at 12:16 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

As we approach Christmas and review 2021, it really doesn’t look like many people were having fun at the party. an unlikely Christmas thought And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” 1 Chronicles 4.10.a, NKJV When I first discovered some translations slightly mistranslate the prayer of Jabez,...

inviting family into solace and solitude

Last updated on: December 13, 2021 at 11:45 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

My family has now become part of, or has entered, one of my deep places of solitude. From time to time, I share something quite personal. This is from an actual journal entry. I have always said my heart expanded when I got married. It did so as well with each child God gave us. I thought new thoughts, established new strengths and new depths of love… just like that. I was actually looking for an exact date in October,... Read more

on suffering | AJ Mitchell, Jenn Johnson, & Brian Williams

Last updated on: December 4, 2021 at 6:21 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

How do people in the arts speak to suffering? This is a topic found in the Bible and often spoken of by Christian scholars. However, there may be more on the topic in the arts than we expect. I’m sharing what I have from last week. I jot down a few things to share on social networks.

Thus Eccl 10:2 reads, ‘A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left’” (R. Laird Harris, Gleason L. Archer,... Read more

Ecclesiastes, pt. 12 | the futility of chasing wealth

Last updated on: November 22, 2021 at 9:24 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

“Increased wealth will only produce increased people to consume it. The owner of the wealth will derive no advantage other than looking at his big balance sheet.” James L. Kugel As we delve further into the wisdom of the sage, we see another way he weaves truth into the fabric of his teaching. He often shows the strength of an ideal by contradicting it with its opposite, as we see in this article with riches and poverty. Koheleth not only... Read more

the performance of Joel’s article on divorce

Last updated on: November 15, 2021 at 2:47 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Last week, I strayed from my series on Ecclesiastes to share a topic we do not often speak of much. It is the topic of what to do with ministers specifically, after a divorce. Certainly these questions are handled by presbyteries, of which I have had the honor to serve on. Nonetheless, I was grateful for Joel Triska’s public openness. I asked if I could share his article. Joel said he is honored to share on Patheos To read his... Read more
