A 3D God in a 2D World
Jesus often spoke of another world that should govern how we live in this one. That’s not to say this world doesn’t matter…Jesus was opening our eyes to realities that had prior to been unseen. “Once in our world, a stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.” —C.S. Lewis “What if God were one of us?” singer Joan Osborne asked.
The Chronicles of Cancer in the Life of C.S. Lewis
The chronicles of cancer in the life of C. S. Lewis are filled with contrasts: pain and hope, darkness and light, raw emotion and clarity of mind, and episodes of doubt that do not overcome a faith permeated with steadfast longing for the Creator of the cosmos to make all things new in Christ. What emerges from these chronicles is a beautiful picture of an ugly disease being overshadowed by a God big enough to turn water into wine, ashes into beauty, and death into life.
EPA Proposes Two New Rules Regulating PFAS | JD Supra
On February 8, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed two new rules to implement the agency’s ongoing efforts to regulate PFAS. Both proposed rules relate to regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the federal statute that regulates hazardous wastes from cradle to grave.
Making Our Way in the World Today (2/4)
Our walk of faith will not be without missteps or suffering. But still we must carry on. We can’t run from hurt forever. It’s faster than us and refuses to be outpaced. Faith is the way forward, the way out of shame and isolation. Onward! Life beckons. So, faith — in God and others — is a gift we have been given, a virtue to cultivate, that liberates us to move and love in a world filled with both pain and pleasure.
Rethinking the Kind of Person God Uses and the Kind of Work God Blesses (3/3)
Paul, as Jewish man, would have been raised to pray daily thanking God he wasn’t a slave, a Gentile, or a woman. In Acts 16, we find these are the first three categories of people who respond to Paul’s message. Wow! Not only are these people recipients of God’s grace, they also serve as conduits for God’s grace. One of the current joys of my life is serving alongside a dear friend, Rob Rosenbalm, in the teaching ministry of Fairfield West Baptist Church in Fairfield, Ohio.
Of Moths & Multiplication
Evangelism and disicpleship share an obligate symbiotic relationship, which, when empowered by the work of the Spirit, leads to the growth of the church. They are not enemies. They were never intended to be separated. And, like the Joshua Tree in the Mojave Desert, the church, a Great Commission ecosystem, is planted in desolate places to offer salvation. The Joshua tree is an iconic symbol of life in the Mojave Desert.
Prison Bars & Rental Cars
It’s a journey that can begin from anywhere, but, no matter where it is entered, it always leads to the same place, to the same person. He’s the way, the truth, and the life. I had to go to prison to be reminded of the joy of knowing Jesus. That’s really what I learned from those men there. And I’ll carry that lesson and their memories with me along this path. He was totally right. Adam, that is. He’s a fellow church member who told me I’d love my time in prison. He should know.
The Dangers of Recycling Vehicle Batteries | JD Supra
Lithium-ion batteries hold great promise for reducing transportation-related combustion emissions, but they also carry risk. The federal government routinely warns airline passengers about the inherent fire risk of lithium-ion batteries, but now we are being warned about the risks of recycling them.
What G. K. Chesterton Teaches Us About Bridging Differences
G. K. Chesterton’s novel The Ball and the Cross (1909) chronicles the story of an atheist and a Christian who form a relationship around a shared desire to kill each other. They spend most of the book searching for a quiet place for a deadly duel. But by the end they’re the best of friends, though both are locked in an insane asylum. Chesterton’s point seems to be that they were the only two sane people on the planet. He often used the notion of lunacy in this kind of way.
Aslan’s Origin Story
There seem to be no stones left unturned in the life of C. S. Lewis. We even have his diary from his early to mid-20s in print, published as All My Road Before Me. I think most of us would cringe at the notion of inner thoughts from our young adult years being made public. Can the man have no privacy? In addition to all of Lewis’s books—those he planned to publish and those he didn’t—we have stacks of collected correspondence he wrote over his lifetime.
My Journey in Rhythm, Rhyme, and Redemption
I spent the summer of 1992, or at least a good portion of it, on a school bus. The drive from my small town in central Illinois to a small town in central Ohio seemed to take forever. It was a blistering summer day, and there was no air conditioning. We had been on the road since early in the morning, and the sun had finally risen to the perfect angle where it was directly cooking me through the window. I felt like a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
