Peace For You Too

In All Things

21d ago

—

With due respect to our first Presidents who established days of thanksgiving–and then Lincoln who made it a regular annual national observance–there is a sadly ironic analogy to be drawn. If one day in three-hundred-sixty-five is set aside to reflect...توسط Patrick Lafferty

We Live or Die By Encouragement

28d ago

—

By it we grow, persevere, and recover. Those who offer it are like skilled surgeons, excising what’s necrotic and fostering healing. We underestimate its power and its necessity. We’re talking about encouragement. Among the many words of wisdom in...توسط Patrick Lafferty

First Executive Order

Reformation Sunday

2M ago

—

We are familiar with the so-called “humblebrag”--the subtle attempt to prop oneself up by appealing to one’s ostensible lowliness. We are too well attuned to that move and find it galling. What Paul will say in this passage is his most self-effacing...توسط Patrick Lafferty

Our First Love

2M ago

Reclaiming Desire and Resisting Deception

Knowing We Know God

Temptation & Evil

Your Will Be Done

6M ago

—

The final God-ward petition, “your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” may be the most difficult petition for modern people to pray. When “you do you” is our basic modus operandi, doing our Father’s will may feel like forcing the proverbial...توسط Andrew Kerhoulas

Your Kingdom Come

6M ago

In light of our gospel privilege to commune with our Father in prayer, we turn our attention back to Jesus' prayer to the second God-ward petition, “Your kingdom come”. To a curious Pontius Pilate Jesus reveals that he is the King of a kingdom...توسط Andrew Kerhoulas

The Privilege of Prayer

6M ago

Performance vs. Hiddenness

The Prayer of Lament is a Calling

7M ago

—

We’ve tried to explain a sadly too prominent kind of necessary prayer: the prayer of lament. It is our desperate act of appealing to a good God amid what often feels anything but good. We’ve said it is at bottom a longing, and also a journey. But we...توسط Patrick Lafferty

Between Here and Hope

Prayer in Despair

7M ago

What Jesus Wants for Us, Part 2

The Prayer of the Sobered

9M ago

—

We’ve said there is no true repentance without praying. To that we add a corresponding truth that how you pray, the heart you cultivate in your praying, will have bearing on the life you then manifest. How you pray and the heart that is formed in the...توسط Patrick Lafferty

A Sinner’s Prayer

9M ago

Practice Begins Here

10M ago

—

We do not pray for the sake of praying. It is ordered to an even greater end. It is part of a good life. While Psalm 1 begins the prayerbook of Israel it is the only utterance that is not a prayer. But as it describes the fact, the character, and the...توسط Patrick Lafferty

Pray for your Lives

10M ago

The Spirit and Speaking

10M ago

The Spirit and the Sacraments–II: The Table

11M ago

The Spirit and the Sacraments – I: Baptism

11M ago

Glory Changes
