A Child’s Mind
November 13, 2023 | By Isaac Oberman DC‘26
Jesus reminds us that the worries of this world are not important. When we worry over our status, we put ourselves before Him and His grace. When we worry over our grades and over our job prospects, we lose a little more of our optimism and our hope. We lose track of our dreams because they are only fantasies. We also lose focus on Christ and His strength. The only thing that matters is accomplishing the task directly ahead.
By Means of Unrighteous Wealth
November 7, 2023 | By Yoska Guta TD ‘26
What Jesus defines as unrighteous wealth in this passage is simply that which moths and vermin destroy, and thieves break in and steal—the temporary treasures of this earth. Jesus, therefore, is calling us, as His ambassadors, to love those around us with our temporary possessions and wealth so that “when [these temporary treasures] fail, they [the friends we make] may receive [us] into the eternal dwellings” (ESV). Though it may not be obvious, in other words, Jesus is literally calling us to use our resources and wealth to build up the kingdom of God by generously loving and giving to those around us.
A Reason to Believe
October 23, 2023 | By David Woods TD ‘26
What does it mean for the logician to accept that they cannot condense every argument into a neat set of statements, parsing their predicate logic into digestible terms as they go? Or for the philosopher: what does it feel like to encounter a set of premises from which no a priori conclusion can be deduced? At a certain point, we, as individuals, have to acknowledge that not everything life throws at us will fit into a schema or heuristic we have for making sense of the world, and Christianity is no exception.
The Poverty of the Widow
March 30, 2022 | By Michael Kielstra H’22
I first heard the story of the widow’s oil in Sunday school. Found in 2 Kings 4:1-7, it’s an astounding, heartwarming story of divine grace: a widow, utterly helpless and heavily indebted, appeals to Elisha and is miraculously given enough oil to pay off her creditors. What Sunday school teachers tend to gloss over, however, is the depth not only of the widow’s hopelessness but also of the cruelty of her creditors and of the society in which she lives.
Against Bitterness
March 11, 2022 | By Jonathan Chan
Forty days. That’s the length of time Christ spent in the Judaean Desert, fasting and praying in solitude. In the accounts contained in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the devil appears, bearing temptations that cut to the very heart of Jesus’ desires – to turn stones to bread to relieve His physical hunger, to summon angels to break His fall if He jumps from a cliff, and to worship the tempter in return for dominion over the kingdoms of the world.
Into The Desert
March 4, 2022 | By Stephen McNulty PM ‘25
There is something about the desert — as a site of temptation, but also as one of opportunity — that pervades Biblical literature. After all, after the Lord delivers the Israelites from Egypt, their story isn’t one of “milk and honey,” per se. Instead, it’s a story of wandering.
