A common Sunday morning practice in churches is to turn to the person next to you and wish them “peace.” In the more liturgical churches, the practice is visible in the regular flow of worship when the pastor extends an intentional moment for everyone to turn to their neighbor to bid them the “peace ofContinue reading “Called to Be Peacemakers”

When Humility Leads to Mercy
As our tour atop the Maid of the Mist charted the Niagara River, we were suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of smallness. The 90-foot vessel, filled to capacity with 600 other eager spectators, rounded the meander to reveal the breathtaking wonder of the Niagara Falls. We were first inundated by the billows of mist. I steadied myContinue reading “When Humility Leads to Mercy”

Perhaps the most well-known example of a foundation failure is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. While this medieval edifice makes the top of the sight-seeing list for many visitingContinue reading “Standing Strong Amid Life’s Floodwaters”

Serving the Least of These
Have you ever been driven to compassion for someone who was hungry, thirsty, sick, an outsider, or in prison? A few years ago, I went to the county jail to visit a childhood friend who was serving time. He could not figure out why someone whom he hadn’t spoken with in years would suddenly dropContinue reading “Serving the Least of These”
