Michael J. Brooks I suppose it depends on who’s defining “senior†but AARP says 55+. Accordingly, some of us find ourselves in that category–even more sobering when we learn that we’re a young nation with a median age of 38. Some of us seniors are perpetually cranky but most of us live with a good…
By Caleb Duncan Have you ever had a God-sized goal that seemed to fall apart? Maybe you had a dream for a ministry or some other plan for God’s glory and it seemed to lose traction before it began. Your intentions were good. Your heart was set! But when the rubber hit the road, it…
By Sheryl Boldt Dear Pastor, We appreciate you – a lot. Aside from your family, we’re your biggest fans. We know being our pastor isn’t an easy job. Your hours well exceed a 9-5 occupation – and we can sometimes be a handful. Your commitment to God’s calling demonstrates that you want to be a…
Sheryl Boldt “Happy birthday!†I said to one of the ladies I cared for when I was a private caregiver. “What’s so happy about it?†Ms. Elaine countered. “I’m an old lady, getting older.†I answered quickly (maybe too quickly) with my positive spin. “But aren’t you glad you’ve lived such a long life?†At…

When I preached from book three, chapters 73-89, I learned about Asaph who was a choir director in the Jerusalem temple. Asaph asked thoughtful questions about the prosperity of wicked people, the suffering of righteous people, and…
R.A. Tea Mathews | Guest Columnist All the Black men I know call one another “brothers.†In the early church, Paul referred to Christians as “brothers.†However, in my church, “brothers†mean something entirely different. Say that word and everyone knows who you mean—Mark, Merrel, and Michael, born two years apart. Older members call them…
Michael J. Brooks | Guest Columnist It was a story from “The New York Post†last spring that I pondered and saved. The headline proclaimed, “City removes last-standing public payphone from NYC street.†The accompanying picture showed the removal of a telephone counter, not the old-fashioned telephone booth in which Superman changed clothes. It used…
Caleb Duncan | Guest Columnist I normally don’t use this space for writing book reviews, but there is one that has really been working on my heart lately: “The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness†by Timothy Keller. It’s short enough to read in about an hour or two. Because of this book, I’ve been doing a lot…
On January 27, the world will mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a symbolic date to commemorate the victims of Nazism. Murderous Nazi terror targeted millions for reasons of biology, nationality, or political ideology. But few people know that the Nazis’ victims included thousands of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who suffered for their Christian faith. Jehovah’s Witnesses, also…
When their 5-year-old son came home from school with a bloody lip and scraped face, Daniel and Jessica discovered it was not just an innocent playground accident. Their child was being bullied.
