GUEST POST: When the Manna Stops | Lent Devo 2019, Week 4

BY MEGAN STOLZ This is the ninth in a series of posts. Today's reflection is on Joshua 5:9a, 10-12. Then the LORD said to Joshua: Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you. While the Israelites were encamped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated the Passover on the evening of …

GUEST POST: The Ups and the Downs | Lent Devo 2019, Week 4

BY RONEIL URBINO This is the eighth in a series of posts. Today's reflection is on Exodus 16:1-35. In the book of Exodus, the Bible speaks about how God rescued the Israelites from Egypt, yet they still complained that their lives would end in the Desert of Sin by starving to death. They reminisce about …

Truly, whenever anyone agrees to take part in my latest project, I am always honored/humbled that they would say yes. The time I’ve spent on writing, editing, and posting for this season of #lent has been a gift of grace and prayer — not just for me but for all the writers involved. May you also be blessed and be a blessing to others. The world is a better place when we’re all in it. #leavenintheworld #wanderingsandhomecomings
(3/100) I read I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by @austinchanning in one sitting. Well, technically it was one lying (laying?) in the middle of a sleepless night and I (perhaps, unwisely) decided to start reading at 1AM and proceeded to read until 4AM. It was that good. As a Filipino-American who shares with the author similar experiences of growing up in a predominantly white middle-class neighborhood, but also had rich experiences of being surrounded in church by other people that looked like her (in my case, other Filipinos and Fil-Ams), she speaks plainly and puts into words many of the conflicting emotions I’ve had as someone who is immersed in ministry and a church that continues to grapple with understanding race, culture and the meaning of unity in diversity. In short, it was another nudge from the Spirit that I am not alone. Highly recommend. #the100dayproject #litwbookstagram #bookstagram
Pink sunsets always make me 😍
(2/100) 2 burgers and a book. Currently reading Inspired by @rachelheldevans — a book that’s helping me hold my love of Scripture together with a general sense of malaise when it comes to being church and Christ’s follower. The book is a beautiful collection of memoir and updated re-telling of stories like Job, lectio divina-like dramatizations of scenes like the Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus at the well. So many of the images that the author conjures up in her stories come back to me in moments of quiet — something that has given me something to hold onto when I’m not even aware that I’m feeling disconnected or off balance. If you’re looking for a fresh way to enter into Scripture, this is it. Highly recommend. #the100dayproject #litwbookstagram #bookstagram
(1/100) The sun is setting on the first day of #the100dayproject so of course this is when I decide to jump in. Last year, I tried writing a blog post everyday, but fizzled out after post 26. This year, I’m going to try to work through all those books that keep piling up on my nightstand and to write a mini-book review everyday. I haven’t decided if I’m going to try and post a different book each day or if I’ll also include past books I’ve enjoyed, so we’ll just see where the wind takes me. Wish me luck and good luck to everyone else whose on this journey with me :)
GUYS. It’s the 4th Week of #Lent. It’s SPRING...but it still hasn’t completely registered with me yet. I’ve been posting reflections from some friends of mine that have helped me think/ponder a little more deeply about rest and the doubt that we all wrestle with. The theme of wandering is definitely one that has resonated with me this season — maybe you’re in the same spot? See #linkinprofile for what’s been published so far! (And there are still more to come as Lent progresses!) #leavenintheworld

ABOUT THE BLOG

With the advent of the Internet, the amount of God/faith-related information out there can be downright overwhelming. The purpose of this blog is to help bring order to the tohuwabohu (i.e., chaos), so you can filter out all the noise and get to the good stuff (“good stuff” = resources that will help you grow in your faith in a healthy and life-giving way). I’m not here to re-invent the wheel, just here to point you in the right direction.
