Sometimes We Turn Down Good Things
The Strange Brightness of the Things of Earth
Jesus in Our Details
It should make sense to us that if Jesus is preeminent over the old creation of this world and the new creation of the church, he must also be preeminent over the details in our lives.
Spiritual Clothing and Psalm-Singing
What Jesus did changes who we are, and therefore changes how we orient our minds, which therefore
changes how we live.
The Old You Is Over
The best way to explain the Christian way of life is not to give soundbites, but to give a story — because Christians have a story. It all hangs together.
Set Your Mind on Things Above
There’s been a transition, both in history and in the lives of the Colossians, that changes everything. And Paul speaks of this transition in terms of death and resurrection.
The Struggle for Thick Community and Gospel Assurance
Paul struggles with the strength that God supplies to warn and teach so that the churches grow up into maturity.
Stable and Steadfast
We are Bible-people and if the Bible continually holds out a theme, as it does with the gospel, than we know we are on solid ground to dwell on that theme.
Praying for a Worthy Walk
The book of Colossians is relevant to all people at all times, but perhaps especially for those of us in the Twin Cities today.
He Was Made Human
Jesus came down from heaven and he lived as a man on this earth. He walked in our shoes. And that matters.
What Did Mary Think?
What do you think was going through Mary’s mind as she held Jesus in her arms for the first time?

What does it mean to faithfully bear God’s name? It’s not what Jonah did.
Parenting Together: Presence and Practice
There is no such thing as generic “parenting.” In truth, there is mothering and fathering. And we do this together.
Singleness Together
Part Two of the Together series builds a framework for how we should think about singleness, and offers three lessons for unmarrieds from the life of Paul the apostle.
