Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.
-
Hallow isn’t a word we ever really use. We encounter it sometimes in church and that’s about it. But it is amazing.

When reading about Jesus meeting Zacchaeus, the man who climbed up the tree, chances are, we’re already invested.
-
When Jesus encounters Zacchaeus, we get a story that is more than encouragement for boldness in our own faith.
-
The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector is an evocative teaching that complicates as we address it personally.
-
Again, it is tempting to take a parable from Jesus as an invitation to be better than others, even when we know better.
-
There is nothing wrong with doing right. Or with being confident that we are right. We shouldn’t think we are righteous.
