Mothering in an Age of Survival 5/10/2026 Proverbs 31:25–28 “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her.” Today is Mother’s Day — a day to celebrate and honor our earthly mothers for bringing us into this world,

The Law of Covenant Fidelity (Theodynamics Series) The God Who Sticks With Us 5/2/2026 Key Texts: Lamentations 3:22–23; Exodus 34:6–7; Hosea 1–3; Romans 11:28–29; Luke 15:11–32. “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”– Lamentations 3:22–23 Law Eight in One Sentence God freely binds himself to us in a sacred promise‑relationship and, with stubborn but non‑coercive love, keeps pursu

Western Heritage Sunday – April 26, 2026 Today we’re celebrating Western Heritage weekend. We remember wide skies, dusty boots, worn saddles, and people who live close to the land and close to the weather. Life in that world demands strength and grit, but it also demands something quieter: willingness. You can have the strongest horse in the county, but if it isn’t willing, you’re not going very far. And you can have a little, unimpressive horse – but if it has a willing hear

The Law of Triune Love or Being-As-Communion God Is a Loving Community April 19, 2026 John 17:21 “… that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me .” Big Idea God is not a lonely ruler; God is a loving community—Father, Son, and Spirit—and he invites us into that love. Or in short: God is communion, not isolation. A Different Picture of God If you asked many people to pictu

Law Six: The Law of Letting Go (The Power of Asymmetrical Kenosis) April 12, 2026 The Power of the Towel If you want to understand what a culture truly values, look at what it defines as power. In our world, power is almost universally understood as an upward trajectory. From the time we are young, we are handed a script that says the world is a place of scarcity and danger. Because there is supposedly a limited amount of security, respect, and wealth to go around, the only w

4/5/2026 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 " Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, … he was buried, … he was raised on the third day according to the Scripture s." Jesus told us that he was the way, the truth, and the life. The same Truth that rode humbly into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday could not be silenced by rejection, suffering, or death. Easter is the discovery that Truth rises — and when it does, it renews everything it touches. Truth Rides In A week ago, on Palm Sun

John 14:6 “ I am the way, and the truth, and the life .” We have a complicated relationship with “truth.” For some, it sounds like a rigid list of doctrines you either sign or reject. For others, it’s a weapon in religious arguments, something used to win rather than to heal. For many, truth has become a private feeling of “my truth” and “your truth,” each sealed off in its own world. Palm Sunday offers something deeper. It dares to picture truth not as an idea we debate, but

Law Five – The Law of Relational Reciprocity (Love’s Dynamic) 3/22/2026 Revelation 3:20 “ Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me .” The heart of this reflection is simple: the same Love that sustains the universe also stands at the door of our lives, inviting a real back-and-forth relationship. Not just belief. Not just moral cleanup. Not just religious duty. Shared lif
