The American-Parisian partnership is as old as our republic. In 1776, we sent across Benjamin Franklin as the founding father of our friendship. A half century later, Paris sent us Alexis de Tocqueville, who became a keen observer of American life. This was on my mind in spring when I boarded Air France in Denver. I was traveling with a group of American pastors to visit church planters in Paris.

If you preach or teach frequently, you know the value of a good commentary. You may even have a handful within arm’s reach at any given time. Whether you use them in the early phases of preparation to find expository insights or later to check your work, these resources are immensely helpful for interpreting Scripture within the community of the saints, standing on the shoulders of those who’ve come before us.

I’ve never liked limits. As a child, I remember playing with my toy kitchen when one of my parents came to tell me it was time for a nap. I would beg to stay up. Couldn’t they see I was in the middle of making food for my pretend family? Who has time for a nap? In this economy? No way. The children must be fed. As the years have ticked by, I still try to resist limitations. To prove to God and myself that I can do enough, contribute enough, and be enough.

If you asked a child to draw a picture of Jesus, you’d likely end up with one of two options: a baby in a manger or a man on a cross. It would probably depend on what time of year it was. We talk a lot about “baby Jesus” at Christmas, and we talk a lot about a Jesus in his early 30s who died on a cross around Easter. But lately, I’ve been talking with my kids about the life of Christ—specifically mentioning he was a child.

You know her. She’s a friend or coworker. She goes to your church. Maybe she’s in your small group or serves as a ministry leader. Perhaps she’s your pastor’s wife—maybe she’s your daughter. But surely somewhere in your close proximity, there’s a mother suffering from depression. As she attempts to beat back the darkness, you wonder how you can care for her. Many of us aren’t professional people-helpers. We’re not doctors, licensed therapists, social workers, or experienced counselors.

Millennials may inherit over $68 trillion from previous generations by 2030. According to Newsweek, some experts believe this “could be the largest transfer of wealth in the history of humankind.”What will younger generations do with that wealth?

Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel was like something from the dark ages of antiquity. Marauders invaded Israel not to claim territory or even treasure but to slaughter innocents and take hostages. They killed young women, snatched elderly people from the streets, murdered and burned families with their children. Hamas’s tactics resemble nothing so much as those of the biblical Amalekites.

Walt Disney unveiled his first audio-animatronic robot at the New York World’s Fair in 1964. The robot was a life-size, lifelike depiction of Abraham Lincoln that stood from its chair and delivered a five-minute speech. When attendees saw the robot, many refused to believe it wasn’t a human and threw coins at it to try to make it jump. More than half a century later, we still struggle to comprehend technology that looks like us, sounds like us, and supposedly thinks like us.
