The Shadow Side
But the Bible says “to hate” . . . What do we “hate?”
The ideas behind “love the sinner, hate the sin” are actually scriptural, just a little misconstrued.
In yesterday’s devotion we explored where Jesus called out the religious leaders for ...
Loving and Hating
“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is one of the Christian clichés that we think are found in Scripture but actually, the statement as a whole, is not. There are “like” thoughts/statements in Scripture that we will explore this week that lend us ...
No More Rationalization
Henri Nouwen writes, “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds ...
Biblical Backing
The myths that we are exploring during the message series “Finding Faith” exist for a reason. People did not conjur them up out of the blue – they originated with scripture passages that either have been misconstrued over the centuries or ...
The Idea of a Vengeful God
Sometimes when we think, “everything happens for a reason,” we think that because we view God as a vengeful God.
We think bad things happen to us as a result of our being “bad” or our “sin.”

Turning Away from God
Adam Hamilton tells a story of a young woman who was a part of Church of the Resurrection,
“A woman in my congregation, after years of fertility treatments, finally conceived. She and her husband were filled with joy. But early in the ...
Waves of Grief and Why
“And the waves of pain did wash over me with a rhythmic quality.
Ebbing and flowing. Coming and going.
I felt I needed to lie completely still so as not to be swept away….
There was no escape, no way out except to go all the way through ...
I won’t give up…
Take a moment to watch this video and listen to the words . . .
What if this was a message to us from God? “I won’t give up . . . I will be here patiently waiting . . . “
That is the beauty of God and God’s grace. It patiently waits - even ...
With friends like Job’s wife, who needs enemies?
