Rhythmic living details six practical strategies for living a more fulfilling life.

Jesus shocked and offended his original audience because he turned most people’s view of life upside down. Many of us are familiar with famous lines in history’s most influential speech, such as: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” “Turn the other cheek,” “Go the extra mile,” and “Don’t Judge.” However, this very familiarity dulls our minds to what Jesus is really saying. Follow Jesus’ kingdom vision and you will stand out as a bright light in this dark world, stand up when storms come, and step up to receive God’s eternal reward. Jesus calls us to...

Same-Sex Marriage: Where are you on the issue? On the one hand, you may personally believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, but on the other hand, you believe people should have the right to make their own choices, and who are you to judge?

Most churches and their pastors try to do everything at once and feel guilty if any one aspect (worship, ministries, outreach, etc.) is neglected. He replaces the exhausting concept of balance with the idea of rhythm: churches, like people, need to give attention to different programs and ministries at different times, basically by attending to their seasons and cycles.

En una época en la que las normas sexuales están cambiando rápidamente, ¿cómo puede una iglesia local ser un lugar de gracia—una comunidad amorosa para todo tipo de personas—donde todos puedan florecer y los desacuerdos se superen en un espíritu semejante al de Cristo y, al mismo tiempo, se mantengan fieles a las normas bíblicas?
