Marty doesn’t proclaim nearly as much as he invites. While he makes no small amount of historical and theological pronouncements, all of them steeped in historicity and hermeneutics, what he asks for more than anything else is kindness and humility in our companionable pursuit of truth.
Read MoreKintsugi has fascinated me for several years. Of course, the metaphor of people appeals to me greatly. That our injuries could be beautified beyond our previously unmarred state is a hopeful story to inhabit and practice.
Read MoreSexual immorality seduces indiscriminately; emptiness cries out of the same spiritual vacuum; the topographical wasteland of that experience is the same in every country. And pornography has become more prolific and ubiquitous than the Gospel.
Read MoreIn my view, the virtuous leader is the one who wishes that his people would surpass him. He should celebrate the day when his students matriculate from his care and go on to greater things beyond his abilities, however noble and capable he has been. The very best thing that he could accomplish: to find himself looking up to the generation that he had fostered…
