Imagining New Things
April 3, 2022 | By Sarah Henkel
Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert (Isaiah 43:18-19).
‘Til Death Do Us Part
March 2, 2021 | Raquel Sequeira TD ‘21 +.5
The words had been running through my head since before Lent—since before I moved back to New Haven to finally start my senior year. After a gap semester spent living at home, I prayed for guidance into spring and tried to be genuinely open to whatever God might ask of me. Would I be called to continue serving my family at home without a career-building job?
Investigating Hunger
Feb 5th, 2021 | By Hannah Turner BK ‘23+.5
24 hours. No social media. I constantly find these challenges all over social media, ironically. To forgo prominent desires of our daily lives in pursuit of something else—to fast—seems like the new trend. Has online social interaction become a necessity to our modern lives? I’d say the answer is yes—yes, and maybe even as much as food.
God’s Suffering
Nov. 8th, 2020 | Se Ri Lee MC ‘23+1
In my previous encounters with this verse from Isaiah 53, my thoughts had always dwelled on the word “suffer,” then shifted to pondering God’s inexplicable reason for allowing suffering a place in the world. This time, as I read over it, my eyes rested on the “him.” It suddenly occurred to me that God put Himself through suffering. It was God’s will for His Son Jesus (i.e. God Himself [1]) to suffer perhaps the greatest suffering of all time: death through torture, crucifixion on the cross.
In Spite of Ourselves
By Vienna Scott, BF '21. Vienna is majoring in Religious Studies and Political Science.
In this Lenten season we intentionally commit small acts, acts which will never come close to Christ’s sacrifice, because God loves us in spite of ourselves. In light of this, we offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—as our true and proper worship. We strive to break the patterns of this world, and are transformed by the renewing of our minds.
