A Long Obedience In The Same Direction
By Eugene Peterson (LOCAL PRINT)

As a society, we are no less obsessed with the immediate than when Eugene Peterson first wrote this Christian classic.  If anything, email and the Internet may have intensified our quest for the quick fix. But Peterson’s time-tested prescription for discipleship remains the same – a long obedience in the same direction.  Tucked away in the Hebrew Psalter, Peterson discovered “an old dog-eared songbook,” the Songs of Ascents that were sung by pilgrims on their More →

The God-Shaped Heart
By Timothy R. Jennings

The key to spiritual and emotional health is to grasp the truth of God’s transforming love for us and then let that reality influence our own hearts and relationships.  It seems simple, but we are experts at complicating simple things.  Instead of living lives characterized by love we find ourselves trapped in cycles of shame, violence, and addiction that steal our joy and keep us from loving others – so much so that, by all indications, Christians are living no differently than anyone else when it comes to abuse rates, use of pornography, alcohol and More →

The Daniel Dilemma

We have real hope we’re called to share.  But how we share it makes a difference.
