The “hiddenness” of God perhaps presses most painfully on those who are in another way nearest to Him, and therefore God Himself, made man, will of all men be by God most forsaken?
- C. S. Lewis, Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer
Do you feel that God is nowhere to be found? That he is hidden? Remember Jesus.
Jesus could not find God in his time of most need. While feeling abandoned,...

LiNK: North Korean Refugees on Kim Jong-il’s Death and the Succession
The sudden death of Kim Jong-il has triggered a deluge of early commentary and analysis on what this may mean for North Korea and the region. The North Koreans themselves are of course the people who will be affected most by this development, but the voice of the North Korean people has been severely lacking. While the...
Incomplete thoughts in my head
I’m realizing more and more the preciousness of mankind.
God of the universe entrusts man with the responsibility to choose him. God becomes vulnerable for man. He honors our decision. Man is valued by God, and it shows in God’s actions, that he allows himself to be valued by man. What awesome wonder. How precious man is.
How heavy the responsibility. To be in the position of being...

OMG I HAD ONE OF THESE
‘Tis the season for mysteries and wonders.
For whatever reason God chose to make man as he is—limited and suffering and subject to sorrows and death—he had the honesty and courage to take his own medicine. Whatever game he is playing with his creation, he has kept his own rules and played fair. He can exact nothing from man that he has not exacted from himself. He has himself gone through...
mickey mouse club: the joy of receiving and giving →
mickeycho:
Christmas is such a joyful holiday! I believe it’s so joyful because it’s the one holiday where you’re encouraged to both receive and give plentifully. There’s a unique and specific joy that comes with both receiving and giving. I like to look at them as sisters. One cannot go without the other.
Receiving is such a joy because… well, who doesn’t love receiving things?? That used to...
Okay, that last post was long. Here’s the clipped out version. Still, read the last post!
Why make promises at all? And if you do make them, why keep them? Why not tune in to growth and change and the maximizing of your feelings? The answer to the nettlesome whys of promise-making is this, to paraphrase HannahArendt (The Human Condition)-the only way to overcome the unpredictability of...
Just read it through. Even if the first paragraph seems hard to grasp, read it through!
Whenever a mere human being makes a promise, he stakes a claim on freedom. A promise is a momentous claim that the person who makes it has the power to act freely to bring order and dependability into the unpredictable future. If you fear, as I do, our penchant for promise breaking, consider this: it is...

If you want to be truly intimidating,
If you want to make an impact,
If you want to have strong connections with others
just be sincere.
Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it’s not a personality trait. It’s a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying you’re a sarcastic person is like saying your favorite cuisine is salt. Sarcasm is easy because...
Relevant God
God is able. God is big enough. He’s good.
I don’t think we have a problem with these concepts. We don’t have a problem singing these things on the weekends. I don’t think those concepts are what we Christians struggle with on a day to day basis.
I think what we struggle with is that he’s relevant. Our complacency and disinterest aren’t from the struggle with...

Understanding - Right - Control - Pride
Understanding. It’s important. To gain knowledge and correctly interpret it.
Right. When asked with the question, “What’s something that’s important to you?” I’d answer with the slightly vulnerable answer of “being in the right.” It’s a flaw, if you will. I have to be in the right. The right answers,...
