Love is calling out

Our Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi reminded us of something deeply Wesleyan and deeply biblical: God can be found everywhere and in everyone. God can be found among those who are struggling and among those who seem to have everything together. God can be found in the housed and unhoused, in the documented and undocumented, in the learned and unlearned, in those who sing beautifully and in those who cannot carry a tune at all.

Sometimes when we hear the word “planning,” we immediately think about meetings, papers, difficult decisions, or long conversations. And yes, planning can certainly include all of those things. But planning can also be something beautiful, hopeful, and creative… It can even be fun!

Mom

...However, this is not the only way the Bible speaks about motherhood. I find it very interesting that the Scriptures do not idealize it. At all.

Actually, the Bible holds space for a wide range of experiences, including those that are difficult to name.

Poor Methodist Church…

Yesterday, I learned something during a Stewardship and Finance gathering in our Annual Conference connection that has stayed with me and I would love to share with you. We were reflecting on how, historically, different churches have often been associated with different social contexts.

The strange way of Jesus | Part 2

... Some began to see the one they had called the “King of the Jews” as a disappointment. How could he ask them to forgive Rome? How could he speak of loving enemies when the people were suffering under oppression?

The strange way of Jesus | Part 1

The crucifixion of Jesus has been studied from many perspectives. Some have spoken about it as a plan established beforehand to deal with the problem of sin.

Between these views there are countless nuances, interpretations, and disagreements.
