The Power of Gratitude

Gratitude is not just a matter of being thoughtful or polite; it is the power to change the world for the better. It is the capacity to train our vision on those places where God is working with us to bring healing and hope. In that sense, gratitude is essential to a well-lived faith and life.

Column: Setting Out with God

To say yes when God, and truth, and compassion, come calling: that’s faith. And faith will open us to glorious possibilities and breathtaking demands. It will bring us closer to God as together we bring hope and healing to the world.

Column: Wanted: Good Neighbors

Thank God that God is always reaching out to us, drawing near to help and heal. Thank God for the God-given power that helps us to touch lives in ways that heal rather than harm: to build bridges of understanding rather than walls that separate. Let’s put that power to good use.

Column: The God of Good Surprises

God loves good surprises...surprises that contribute to the goodness of life, and draw us more deeply into the mystery and wonder of creation. In contrast with those who enact and support violence, the God of good surprises takes us off guard by offering us beauty, healing, and love, just when we need them most.

Column: A Message from the Depths

Endurance is a spiritual energy, a gift of God, that makes it possible for us to face threatening circumstances one step and one breath at a time. And it is fed by life together in community. In the words of a proverb: if you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together.

We Need Questionologists!

At this time in the history of our planet, when we face multiple threats to the flourishing of life, let’s tap the energy of powerful questions to find creative directions towards a more hopeful future. Taking time to find and ask the right questions, and to ask them with a deep willingness to hear what others have to say, can become a way of building trust and compassion. And one good question may well lead to still better questions, slowly revealing our capacities for faith, hope, and love.
