Minute Meditations

If we focus on finding common ground with one another, we’re less likely to end up in irreconcilable disputes. We might never come around to another’s point of view completely, but both sides may move closer to the middle.

The revelation of the Gospels is that our God is bigger and greater and more loving and trustworthy than even the best human being we have known.

We have an obligation as Christians to make sure we don’t settle for having merely our own needs met.

I see the three temptations as the primal and universal temptations that all humans must face before they dare take on any kind of power—as Jesus is about to do.

Isaiah tries to describe what a just people and country would look like if they fasted from the right things.

Isaiah says explicitly that God prefers another kind of fasting which changes our actual lifestyle and not just punishes our body.
