In the 21st century, we are seduced to turn the Christian life into an experience of fun and excitement, into health and wealth, into easy fixes and smooth sailing, or into self fulfillment and acquisition.  The problem comes when it turns out to be not much fun and is less than exciting.  We become disillusioned when health and wealth alludes us.  When…

In recent days, the news has been full of stories about well known, powerful and famous men making giant mistakes and creating enormous problems.  R.

No. Playing. Favorites. This past Sunday, we were going to continue our series Walk the Walk, but unfortunately the wonderful St. Louis weather had other plans. As we move forward in our study of James, we didn’t want to shortchange this last week’s passage, so we are going to take the newsletter this week to unpack the main ideas of James 2:1-13.…
