Who Was He? Malachi 3:1-4

Last updated on: December 5, 2012 at 7:46 pm By Odyssey Networks

By Nyasha Junior Who was Abraham Lincoln? You may get different answers depending on whom you ask. He is known as the Great Emancipator. He was a self-taught rural Kentuckyian. He was a husband and father. Also, he was a pragmatic politician. The new film, Lincoln, seeks to address this question by focusing on the political struggles for the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in the last few months before Lincoln’s death.

After the Chaos Ends: Jeremiah 33:14-16

Last updated on: December 5, 2012 at 7:18 pm By Odyssey Networks

By Amy Erickson Jeremiah’s promise of a future restoration for Israel and Judah centers on the image of a righteous branch. This image, while somewhat strange to our culture, carries along with it a rich and varied tradition, deeply rooted in the world and literature of the Old Testament. The tree of life in the Garden of Eden links trees with ideas of abundance, fertility, and renewal. The Old Testament also uses arboreal imagery to talk about leaders, especially kings.... Read more

A Different Kind of King: John 18: 33 – 37

Last updated on: November 27, 2012 at 4:07 pm By Odyssey Networks

By Barbara K. Lundblad Delores Williams, wise theologian and teacher, was my colleague when I first came to Union Seminary. She grew up in the South and remembers Sunday mornings when the minister shouted out: “Who is Jesus?” The choir responded in voices loud and strong: “King of kings and Lord Almighty!” Then, little Miss Huff, in a voice so fragile and soft you could hardly hear, would sing her own answer, “Poor little Mary’s boy.” Back and forth they...

Signs That the End Is Near: Mark 13:1-8

Last updated on: November 15, 2012 at 8:15 pm By Odyssey Networks

By Adam J. Copeland No matter the tragedy these days, some religious leader or blogger will attempt to connect it to God’s judgment. Some say superstorm Sandy was God’s wrath on liberal New York and New Jersey. Others fault 9/11 on “the homosexual agenda,” whatever that is. Many argue July’s shooting in Aurora, Colorado, would have been prevented were it not for liberals or conservatives.

The Value of Chump Change: Mark 12:38-44

Last updated on: November 15, 2012 at 8:09 pm By Odyssey Networks

By Greg Carey Is poverty what it used to be? Or has poverty grown so shameful that we dare not speak its name? So determined are we keep poverty out of view, we erase the presence of the poor from Jesus’ teachings. The widow we encounter in Mark 12:38-44 provides a case study in poverty and oppression. Unable to confront poverty, we have turned her into something safer – an example of generosity. The election has just passed. As I’m... Read more

How to Vote like a Christian: Mark 12:28-34

Last updated on: November 5, 2012 at 6:56 pm By Odyssey Networks

By Eric D. Barreto It seems so easy, doesn’t it? Love God. Love your neighbor. The two greatest commandments encapsulate the core of faith and could–if we really were to trust God–transform the world. Similarly then and with election day looming, voting should be an easy affair: people of faith should vote for the candidates whose policies would most embody a love of God and neighbor. It seems so easy, but it isn’t if we are honest with ourselves and... Read more

God’s Return Policy: Jeremiah 31:7-9

Last updated on: October 24, 2012 at 8:47 pm By Odyssey Networks

By Gregory Lee Cuéllar Debates on immigration in the United States continue to move in the default direction of North/South. As such, the prominent debating points often direct public attention to the U.S./Mexico border fence and the Latina/o community. By sleight-of-hand, many in the mainstream media tend to recast a centuries-old U.S. immigration experience as a Latina/o problem. Unlike the variety of migration stories in the Bible, the forces creating migration for many Latina/o families are closely tied to the... Read more

By Rev. Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles On September 25, 2012, President Obama presented new initiatives to address human trafficking in America. He did this as the President of the United States, but I know he also did it as a parent of two children. How do I know? He said so: “When a little girl is sold by her impoverished family, or girls my daughters’ ages run away from home and are lured — that’s slavery.” The Quest to End Child... Read more

Eating with the Enemy: Esther’s Story

By Lisa Hickman When ‘Enemies’ Meet During the Everest climbing season last May, just 1000 feet from the top of the world, twenty-four year old Israeli law student Nadav Ben-Yehuda noticed a 64 year old Turkish man, Aydin Irmak, lying in the snow with no gloves, no oxygen, no shelter as other climbers streamed past him in their quest for the summit. Climbers know instantly 26,000 feet is the infamous ‘death zone’ where the lack of oxygen is insufficient to... Read more
