Greta Thunberg doesn’t seem like a likely prophet. Yet at sixteen years old, she shamed the United Nations’ General Assembly for their unwillingness to take substantive and swift action to combat climate change, and she inspired millions of people to join the...
It’s a lot to handle, this world. Angry, determined people stand firm and unwavering on all sides of every issue. In the United States, we are rocked to and fro by a vicious election season in which it feels like the only possible outcome is absolute victory or...

This passage sounds a bit like an IKEA instruction manual. Put the poles in slots A and B, the ark of the covenant on Panel Q, slide the mercy seat over rods #245 and #246. Every time I read this section of Exodus, I wonder about God’s purposes in the...
