For me, the journey started at the end of a long, boring day sitting in the court’s waiting room with 300 other potential jurors. I had read all of the books and magazines that I could, and I was ready to go home. It was almost 5:00 pm on a Friday, and I had been sitting there since 9:00 a.m.

“The unexpected always happens while we are doing something else, while we are thinking of different things.” Alexander McCall Smith is a Scottish author whose fiction deals primarily with ethics and Christian values. His brief poem, “In a Time of Distance”, was written quite recently as a commentary on...

How can we atone for our sins? Sometimes we feel so guilty from the things we’ve done in our past that we wish there was some way we could do something to make up for it, some sacrifice or task that would take it all away.

In 1997, I read a fascinating book called, The Death of Distance, by Frances Cairncross. Before the digital revolution really was underway, Ms. Cairncross predicted that life would be significantly altered with Internet technologies. Global, real-time communications would be enabled. Employers would soon be able to look for talent, not only in their own urban area but from a mountaintop far away....

Paul’s last message to Timothy reminds me of Paul’s concern when he called the elders of Ephesus, where Timothy was, and told them “I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them.” (Acts 20:29-30).

Paul’s second letter to Timothy was the last one he wrote before his death. In it he continues where he left off in the first letter, encouraging Timothy for his leadership role in the ecclesia at Ephesus. Timothy would have read the epistle Paul wrote to the Ephesians about five or so years previously and so the words of verses 9-10 would have stood out to Timothy...

Joshua is one of the best types of Christ in the Old Testament. They even share the same name, Jesus being the Greek form of Joshua. In today’s reading in Joshua 10 we have a couple of interesting types based on two things Joshua does at the end of one of the battles in Canaan.

Timothy’s mixed upbringing is well-known. In Acts 16:1 we’re told he was “the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.” Verse 3 goes on to tell us that Paul “took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.”

Paul’s purpose in writing his first epistle to Timothy is for Timothy to “charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine” (1 Tim. 1:3). One of the things these “certain persons” were doing was misinterpreting the Law of Moses.

What sort of ruler will Christ be and what is expected of us as we prepare ourselves to reign as kings and priests? There’s an interesting answer to that question in our reading in Isaiah 11, which is a vision of the Kingdom.
