Encouraging Christians around the world to love one another, since Jesus said that's how we'll be known (John 13:35)
Not all of us have an ornate catholic church just around the corner to visit, but while living in Belgium, I am fortunate to have such a building nearby. I spent an icy couple of hours sitting in it during January, sacrificing my comfort for the sake of this website and my readers, trying to reap the benefits of a highly decorated church to increase my fear and reverence of God and, it worked!
I am determined to develop a fuller understanding of who God is and know him better. In light of the ongoing war in Ukraine and the fighting between Israel and Hamas, I am in desperate need of a mighty God who can act to end suffering and conflict. A cuddly God is not enough for me right now. I wonder if you might feel the same way. Almost everyone I have spoken with recently fears for the future, and I long to bring them hope. Can singing hymns help me do this?
Like most people, I want to identify with the Good Samaritan and help those in difficult circumstances. However, I fear I am more like the religious elites and often ignore the desperate.
Even when I do try to help, it’s not always easy.
