Go forth and change the world

In a world filled with dysfunction, we are called to address the challenges around us, confident of God’s victory over evil.

Divisions die on the cross

Divisions among people are as old as the discord between Cain and Abel, but they are meant to die on the Good Friday cross.

A lion running around the world

When I was little, my family took me on a trip to visit my uncle and aunt in Africa. They were both medical missionaries in Rwanda. We visited a game preserve where we watched lions, elephants and other wild animals from our Jeep. One night, my parents told me that the house we were sleeping in was right on the equator. I asked, “What is the equator?” My dad said it was an imaginary line running around the world. But what I heard him say was that it was “a lion running around the world!” I imagined the lion running around our house all night. I didn’t think it was Aslan, but more likely the devil, waiting to devour me.
