Missional living: longing for a new heaven and a new earth
Look, all you have to see is a West Texas sunset, or Mt. Hood on a clear day, or a Miguel Cabrera home run to know that creation is good. Whatever the results of “the Fall,” creation did not stop … Continue reading

Jesus’ baptism and ours: the Jordan River runs through Romans
Before my baptism, I memorized Romans 6:1-14. A seminal text for sure. “What shall we say then, shall we persist in sin that grace may abound? By no means! … Do you not know that all of us who were … Continue reading

What I Wanted to Hear this Easter, But Didn’t
I’m trying not to make this a grumpy old theologian post. I had a great holy week. In my tradition, we haven’t typically made a big fuss about Easter. That’s something other people did. Every Sunday was Easter for us. … Continue reading
