Habits of Grace: Enjoing Jesus through the Spiritual Disciplines
Three seemingly unremarkable principles shape and strengthen the Christian life: listening to God’s voice, speaking to him in prayer, and joining together with his people as the church. Though often viewed as normal and routine, the everyday “habits of grace” we cultivate give us access to these God-designed channels through which his love and power flow-including the greatest joy of all: knowing and enjoying Jesus.

Uncomfortable: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community
We live in an age where everything is about giving us, the consumer, what we want when we want it in the most comfortable and convenient way. Far too often, we bring our comfortable consumerism into the church as we look to find the “perfect church,” which is really the church where we are Lord. Yet , the church is a people over whom Jesus is Lord, and this reality calls us to forsake our consumeristic church mentality and to welcome an uncomfortable faith centered on an uncomfortable cross together with an uncomfortable community.
