Our Life in the Lord Part Four: The Long Pursuit
Part Three Next, God acts with mercy by binding himself to his people, slowly, over many generations. In all of scripture, God presents his people with a covenant: a relational agreement, not a contract for services. Where a covenant sets life and death before the people, living up to it secures their existence, and failing it brings their death. The words themselves aren’t magic. God keeps the covenant because of who he is, and the people bear the consequence of how they cho

Our Life in the Lord Part Three: The Refusal

Our Life in the Lord Part Two: The Making of All Things
Part One God speaks, and things come to pass. He breathes and speaks over the “waters,” and order replaces chaos. He speaks all of creation into being out of nothing. He doesn’t shape material he found lying about, for there was nothing to shape and nowhere to put it.

Our Life in the Lord Part One: Before Anything Was
Introduction As we begin the school year, I'd like to set the stage for understanding our live in the Lord. This is certainly the Catholic understanding, but for the most part, it's the overall Christian understanding (if only by inheritance from the time prior to the reformation). “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (Jn 1:1). Before there was a beginning for anything else, God “is.” Before light, before time, before the first ang
