discipleship
-
When Jesus says that we are not “of the world,” he isn’t talking spiritually. We try to avoid thinking about what it really means for us.
-
In the Ascension, we are invited to reflect on the departure of Jesus from his disciples, and why it is that we always hate goodbyes.
-
As we approach the end of Easter, we are confronted by the teaching Jesus offers—to keep loving long after he is gone—but instead we worry.
-
We often treat love like an emotion that we merely experience. But Jesus commands us to love, to treat it like a behavior we are to learn.
-
As Jesus describes himself as the vine and we are the branches, he compels us to reexamine the way we approach our world.
-
We’re conflicted by the thought that God is responsible and also so are we, making it about our own obsessions with getting it right.
