How to Respond to Horrifying Sayings of Jesus
When you read through the Gospels you find some horrifying things. If you don't feel them as horrifying, you are not awake. I think they are calculated to wake us up from our domestication of Christ and his book.

Why Desiring God Exists
Desiring God, like all fallen, finite human ministries and people, sees "in a mirror dimly" (1 Corinthians 13:12). We do not claim to be perfect in what we know. And we do not claim to know all that can be known. Nor do we claim to see what we know more clearly than others may see it.

Thoughts on Jesus' Demand to Repent
As part of my sabbatical here in Cambridge, England, I am working on a book with the tentative title What Jesus Demands From the World. One of my concerns is to show that repentance in Jesus' message is not behavior but the inner change that gives rise to new God-centered, Christ-exalting behavior.

The Treasure that Turns Treasures to Garbage
Christ alone is the ground of our acceptance with God and the goal of our heart's desire. He is our righteousness and our reward. Compared to him (knowing him, gaining him, being found in him) all else is garbage.

A Church-Based Hope for "Adultolescents"
Christian Smith, professor of sociology at Notre Dame, wrote in the most recent Books and Culture a review of six books that deal with the new phenomenon of "adultolescence"-that is, the postponement of adulthood into the thirties. I want to relate this phenomenon to the church.

If God Wills Disease Why Should We Try to Eradicate It?
If God governs all calamity and all disease, why should we fight against it? Because God is as much in charge of the research to fight a disease as he is of the disease. You can be an instrument in his hand. The disasters that God ordains are not aimed at paralyzing his people with indifference, but mobilizing them with compassion.
