A Hope That’s Worth More Than Success

August 30, 2015 | Ted Turnau

In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of God or spiritual-type thing to worship — be it J.C. or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan mother-goddess or the Four Noble Truths or some intangible set of ethical principles — is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already — it’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great story. The trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on.  —David Foster Wallace, “This Is Water”

The God of Hope

August 23, 2015 | Clyde Godwin

Hope is faithful confidence that God continues to author a story that moves us from vision to action. —Mark Oestreicher, Hopecasting

Grieving with Hope

August 16, 2015 | Clyde Godwin

“It’s not the load that breaks you down. It’s the way you carry it.” —C.S. Lewis

The Grip of Hope

August 9, 2015 | Clyde Godwin

In the ancient world, the anchor was the symbol of hope. Epictetus says: “a ship should never depend on one anchor, or a life on one hope.” Pythagoras said: “Wealth is a weak anchor; fame is still weaker. What then are the anchors which are strong? Wisdom, great-heartedness, courage – these are the anchors which no storm can shake.” The writer to the Hebrews insists that the Christian possesses the greatest hope in the world. —William Barclay, The Letter to the Hebrews

The Hope of Our Calling

August 2, 2015 | Clyde Godwin

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill–fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” —Matthew 11:28-30, The Message, Eugene H. Peterson

Hope vs. Frustration

July 26, 2015 | Clyde Godwin

Christianity teaches that, contra fatalism, suffering is overwhelming; contra       Buddhism, suffering is real; contra karma, suffering is often unfair; but contra secularism, suffering is meaningful. There is a purpose to it, and if faced rightly, it can drive us like a nail deep into the love of God and into more stability and spiritual power than you can   imagine.” —Walking with God through Pain and Suffering, Tim Keller

Hope vs. Disappointment

July 19, 2015 | Clyde Godwin

I remember it all—oh, how well I remember—the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there’s one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope: God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, His merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! —Lamentations 3:20-23, The Message

Hope Against Hope

July 12, 2015 | Clyde Godwin

“Christ did not come into the world that we might understand him, but that we might cling to him, that we might simply let ourselves be swept away by him into the immense event of the resurrection.” —Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Christ In You, The Hope of Glory

July 5, 2015 | John Bourgeois

[The mature Christian] has attained to more enlarged views… but his chief desire is that God may be glorified in him, whether by his life or by his death. He is not his own; nor does he desire to be his own; but so that the power of Jesus may be manifested in him, he will take pleasure in infirmities, in distresses, in temptations; and though he longs for heaven, would be content to live as long as Methuselah upon earth, if, by any thing he could do or suffer, the will and glory of God might be promoted. —John Newton

Living Hope

June 28, 2015 | David Speakman

Hope is remembering God’s future into the present.”  —N.T. Wright
