Lent

Spring time path through gloom leads to sunlight and flowers

  • Resurrection Hope: Still Possible Today by Harriett Jane Olson
    04/08/2012 The story of Holy Week is a mix of conversations between the closest of companions and the “wide angle” pageantry of festival season in Jerusalem. What do we make of the story’s ending?
  • Standing by God in a Time of Sorrow by Carmen Faye-Sanford Vianese
    04/06/2012 As we continue our journey this Lenten season from the cross of sacrifice and sorrow to the gift of resurrection and salvation, let us not lose hope.
  • They Will Know We Are Christians by Our Love by Nancy Bearden
    04/05/2012 We are to love others based on Jesus’ sacrificial love for us. Such love will not only bring unbelievers to Christ; it will also keep believers strong and united.
  • Draw Closer to God by Tupou Seini Kelemeni
    04/01/2012 My wish for you and me this Palm Sunday is that we draw closer to God because God’s love and grace is sufficient for all of us to share.
  • Give Yourself Away by Judi Nibbelink
    03/25/2012 Are we truly followers of the Christ or are we simply admirers of Jesus?
  • Ramon by Matt Morgan
    03/18/2012 Ramon has been in and out of prison for most of his life, mostly for drug-related offenses, both using and selling. He is HIV positive, has mental health issues and has burned most of his bridges with friends or family.
  • It’s Time to Overturn the Tables by Laura Kirby
    03/11/2012 In a Sunday school class I was in years ago we were asked, “Is anger a sin?” The incident described in John 2:13-22, in which Jesus turns over the tables of the moneychangers and those selling goods in the temple, is one of the most often cited examples of Jesus displaying anger.
  • Getting Our Act Together by Kelli Williams
    03/04/2012 Each spring at Alaska Children’s Services a wonderful community event happens. It’s our Spring Banquet and Talent Show. The name of the event is “Get Your Act Together!” It’s a very tongue-in-cheek title that slips by many.
  • Can a Rainbow Come in the Clouds Without an Ark First? by Rosângela Oliviera
    02/26/2012 The last time I saw a bow in the clouds, colorful like a rainbow, was this past January. I was in São Paulo, Brazil, and a summer shower came over us in the streets. Then came the sun. Behind the buildings, there it was: a rainbow.
  • Coming to Terms With God by Glory E. Dharmaraj
    02/16/2012 Time and change are each the other’s measure. A life span may be two millennia for a sequoia tree or a day for a mayfly. But it is still one life.
