How to Do What Can’t Be Done (Philippians 4)
Some of the things that need to be done to make our relationships healthy are things we cannot do. But they are things we could do if we learned how to live “in the Lord.” The New Testament uses that … Continue reading
Living Apart Together: Is Less Commitment Really the Key to Longevity?
Thirty years ago, a teacher in a small town near us was scrutinized and nearly fired when it was discovered that he was living with a partner to whom he was not married. The school board considered their living arrangement … Continue reading
The Next Great Awakening: From a “Me Society” to an “Us Community”
In 1976, Tom Wolfe published, “The Me Decade and the Third Great Awakening,” in New York Magazine. I find Wolfe’s style painful to read (there are 103 exclamation points in this article) but his cultural analysis was impressive. He detected … Continue reading

Getting Married This Summer? You Need to Know This
When I was a kid, I hated to go to the doctor’s office. My doctor was a tall man who always wore a white coat and seemed to have an affinity for hypodermic needles. The only redeeming value I could … Continue reading
Is Christian Lifestyle Instruction Odd?
