    74 | The Reign of Christ

    Today is a day for declaring our intention to live a life that matters, a life of radical generosity that holds all our possessions and our very lives lightly. It is a life of taking the long view. A life of belonging to the truth, a truth that transcends individual limited perspective and allows the community to hear the voice of Christ as the guide and hope for living a life that matters.

    73 | The Long Game

    We often read Jesus' warnings, these apocalyptic texts, and tend to either have fear or bring fear on who hears them. But Jesus seems to be asking for something different from that. We know that he never has much time for fear as a tool. He is always chastising the fearful, even while he is gentle with the doubters. While he sometimes seems to be saying "live in the moment," here, he argues that we need to take the long view. This isn't all that there is. There is more to come, a world you can barely imagine and can only glimpse from afar right now. Whatever this might be for you right now, this doesn't define who you are and who you will be.

    72 | A Different Scale

    Like many of Jesus’ statements, he again challenges us to a new way to live. You can imagine his disciples would have given an odd look when Jesus says the widow gave more. Their logical brains could not hear beyond the tiny clinks of the coins. But Jesus might have looked at them and said she put in more. More because the scribes gave out of their excess, whereas she put in her whole life. Notes: Daily Readings Ancient-Future Time, by Robert E. Webber Would you consider supporting this podcast?

    71 | Not Far Off

    Today may be Halloween in our secular culture, but I would like to call us back to the traditional Christian observance of All Saints Day. This day is a call to remember those saints who have gone before us. Who have led us and drawn us into a relationship with Jesus. The Celtic Christians called a space like today a “thin place,” where this world and the next have moved so close together that it was as if one could go from one place to the other.

    70 | Restoration

    We have come to the end of this brief synopsis of Job’s story. We have discussed tragedy, pain, the unknown, and the mystery of who God is. Now, it is time to celebrate. This is the happy ending to Job’s story. We can continue to read this chapter and see God’s rewarding Job for his faithfulness. He received even more than he had before. This is the happy ending we have been waiting for! Notes: Daily Readings Ancient-Future Time, by Robert E. Webber Would you consider supporting this podcast?

    69 | Out of the Storm

    Can you imagine how this scene must have sounded? The picture painted in this passage is stunning, but I just wish we could hear the actual audio. Since I first read this story, I have only read the LORD’s response as one of righteous anger. “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” God sounds angry, doesn’t he? But will you allow me to speculate for a moment? What if God was speaking with authority but was not speaking with anger in his voice? Reread these words this week, and for that matter, read the rest of God’s response to Job. In many ways, it is some of the most beautiful poetry the Bible holds. The descriptive phrases used to personify the Creator are majestic and inspiring. Of course, this is the authority of God speaking to Job and reminding Job who He is. He is the Creator. He is the one who laid the foundations of existence in place. Again, I ask, what if God isn’t angry, but maybe, just maybe, God is actually trying to remind Job who is on his side.

    68 | We Will Wait

    Have you ever cried out to God and felt you were not heard? In this passage of scripture, we find Job crying out, only to feel as though no one is listening.  Job gives voice to this pain. "Oh, that I knew where I might find him," he declared in bitterness. Notes: Daily Readings Ancient-Future Time, by Robert E. Webber Would you consider supporting this podcast?

    67 | The Struggle is Real

    Why do we study the book of Job? Is it still meaningful to us today? Well, is there suffering in the world? Are there people who have lost everything? Of course, there is, and of course, there are. That’s what makes this book so compelling. It is real life; it asks real questions; it wrestles with the truth in humbling and transforming ways.
