Words to Live By

Jesus wept over Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. Some within Israel embraced Jesus; some rejected him. How could Israel's perspective of Christmas shape and inform our own? How might it counterbalance our impatient, individualized, idealized cultural moment?

He was known as Herod the Great. Such a powerful man, and yet his whole life was turned upside down by a tiny infant? How does his reaction and response inform our lives today?

Righteous living is not always a trendy topic, but at the first Christmas, a man named Joseph gives us an example of how to act in turbulent times.

The Christmas story asks us to embrace the unbelievable and unexpected. But it also invites us to both encounter and trust the God who came to be with us.

The story of God from Genesis to Revelation reveals a God of relentless love towards us. His masterful plan of salvation redeems our story and is the unshakeable foundation for eternal hope.

God's good world has been greatly affected by Adam's choice to disobey. As a result, we should expect the perfect we long for to be met with experiences of both good and bad. In this, it is right to lament but we can do so with trust because God is faithful and for us.

We are all tempted and we all sin. Jesus was tempted and didn't sin, making it possible for our sin to be remedied and our temptations to be overcome.

Regardless of our perspective on climate change and "eco-anxiety," Jesus' followers have good reason to care about the earth. Good stewardship is consistent with authentic discipleship.

God works. We work. And we best make our work as worship by living our lives unto God as good stewards of what he has made us to be.

Parenting is both an incredible privilege and an unbelievably hard task. Yet, as hard as parenting is, we have both a compelling vision for parenting and a great resource in Jesus to live that vision out.

How does the worldview that God considers "good" impact our understanding and experience of gender today? There are many things to learn, and many questions to ask. But amidst them, a God who is worthy of our trust and people who are worthy of our compassion.

Imago Dei touches on the significant issues of value and purpose leading to how we see and treat ourselves and others.
