This is part two of my series about things I never understood about racism. You can read part one here or watch the introduction to the whole series here. My anti-racism resource page is also up and under construction. Today, I’m talking about how I never understood a precise definition of a racist idea. Now, it might seem silly to even have to define a racist idea, but as I read, interact with people on these issues, and examine...
I hope you were able to watch the video of my introduction to this new series on anti-racism in my last post. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and writing to prepare for these next few posts on the things I never understood about racism. At the end of today’s post, I’m sharing a coloring page from Acts 17:26 (in English and Spanish), along with some talking points you can use with your kids when starting the conversation...
Today on the blog, things are a little different! I’m jumping into a new series that I’ve long wanted to write about, but instead of just writing it out in the safety of my thoughts, I felt God urging me to make this one a little more personal. So to do that, I recorded a video introducing this new blog series on racism. The video is below (or HERE if you don’t see it below), but I’ll include the transcript...
As some of us celebrate Lent and as Easter Sunday approaches, I want to meditate on a few verses and share a screensaver image for your phone. “For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the...
I have these gaps . . . between what I know and what I, in fact, believe Does God even like me? . . . Am I not justified in judging this person? between what I know and what I do Why do I let anger get the better of me? . . . Why is talking to God such a struggle for me? between what I know of Jesus and how much I am like him. How can I have...
“I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.” (Hosea 11:4 ESV) sometimes I feel I’m coming loose barely clinging to You a little too much distraction immaturity or plain exhaustion poor in spirit small of faith in courage, a mewling kitten beset by fears vulnerable to snake whispers are the ties...
Do you celebrate Lent with your church family? Our church is Protestant but loosely adopts some of the church calendar, so we celebrate Advent in anticipation of Christmas and Lent in anticipation of, and preparation for, Easter. This year Lent begins on March 6 and ends on April 18. I thought I’d share a few resources that you might find helpful: These coloring pages are all found free here on the blog. I’ve collected more coloring pages and printables...
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy grace Streams of mercy, never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it Mount of Thy redeeming love I don’t know about you, but my heart easily gets out of tune. We’ve been in a long season of God doing something, but we’re not sure what. I don’t know when or...
I don’t know the season you’re facing today. When it’s not one thing, it’s another, right? Waiting. Despairing. Doubting. All the various kinds of suffering possible, and there are many. The gospel writers don’t skip around this reality: “For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too” (2 Cor. 1:5 ESV). We may not be able to sort out all the intricacies of God’s plans in our suffering, but we do know...
