Facing rejection in the purple season

Facing rejection in the purple season

During Lent, consider how Jesus was rejected. Many have felt the pain of rejection. Even if the feelings never go away, you can learn to manage your feelings. There are attitudes you can adopt and actions you can take.

Good shall overcome

Good shall overcome

In God’s world and in God’s time, the darkness shall not overcome the light and good shall overcome some day. And so, we continue to sing with gusto our faith that “We shall overcome some day.”

Recreating Jesus

Recreating Jesus

Every culture has recreated Jesus. The most important missing quality of his personality is laughter. Where is the joy?

God laughs. Celebrate that God laughs and that you were meant to laugh too.

My crowd is bigger than your crowd

My crowd is bigger than your crowd

Bigger does not mean better. More followers do not mean the way is good or right. Sometimes the worst or most extreme causes attract large numbers. Bigger numbers do not mean something is more true, right, or correct. That is the way of the world, which places a high value on large followings like multitudes. The way of God is the good, the right, and the true. That way may be embraced by only a few.
