“By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.” (Heb. 11:24–25)When most people think of the story of Moses and the exodus, they’re plagued by apocryphal details from one of several movie adaptations.

Gathering with the church on Sunday morning is one of the most important things a Christian does. But if you’re a fellow parent of young children, it may also be one of the hardest things you do. Consider the array of militant forces conspiring against you even making it to church. Who plans for his 3-year-old to wash her hair in yogurt two minutes before they’re supposed to leave the house? I’d like to see a seasoned military general try to handle that situation.

I was five years into my study of the African American theological tradition, nearly finished with my dissertation, when I first learned about the man affectionately known as the “Black Spurgeon.” Though he isn’t well known today, he was one of his generation’s greatest preachers and his story testifies to God’s faithfulness. From slavery to his vocational calling, Charles T. Walker’s life was filled with hardship. In June 1873, at age 15, he professed hope in Christ.

Summer is for reading. Actually, for many of us, all of life is for reading. It’s more of a physical need than a duty. But the different cadence of life during the summer invites a different sort of reading. I take great delight in having study as part of my vocation as a church elder. A lot of that reading tends to be high-content Christian books or deep cultural analysis. It’s necessary and good. And yet there are times when I want to read something beyond these genres.

I was listening to an old NPR spot on the car radio when Celeste Kidd, professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, mentioned the well-known “marshmallow test.” The conversation reminded me of the way the Bible talks about fighting sin, and I realized she’d stumbled onto a truth that could help men and women in their fight against pornography. We’re always at our strongest in our fight against sin when we see how it trades away God’s goodness for what’s much less satisfying.

“I call myself a cultural Christian, but I’m not a believer,” stated the famed atheist Richard Dawkins in a recent interview with Rachel Johnson of LBC News. “I love hymns and Christmas carols, and I sort of feel at home in the Christian ethos,” he continued. He wants the cathedrals and parish churches that speckle England’s landscape, just without the faith nonsense that informs them. This interview is yet another signal that culture is changing.

I was preparing to begin a four-month series on the Holy Spirit and one of my older pastor friends said, “That’s great. How many people do you think you’ll lose?” He wasn’t entirely joking, and I knew we had important but challenging conversations ahead. It’s an unfortunate reality that division, confusion, and disunity exist around our views on the Spirit. But one of the Spirit’s primary roles is to bring unity to believers and churches.
