When History Is His Story

By

Some have attributed to Confucius the proverb, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” So let’s share a 5000-word history (five pictures) that ends with the birth of the Pioneer Memorial Church exactly sixty years ago right now—captured in five black and white photographs, mounted on the back wall of our sanctuary, each with a gold plaque of explanation—all of them a gift of the Emmanuel Missionary College Class of 1953. Take a look: Photograph #1—the old Berrien County Courthouse.

"Judge Not"

By

The days of Martin Luther’s scatological excoriations of the pope are long past (500 years past, to be exact). But do those five centuries mean turning a blind eye to the mounting evidence of sexual malfeasance by the Roman Catholic Church’s ministers? The dark record of pedophilia among priests has already been cataloged in the news media and courtrooms of this nation.

My Life He Brings Back

By

Thanks to the generous largess of some kind, anonymous soul, I find myself in possession of the highly acclaimed new translation of the ancient Hebrew Bible. Robert Alter’s three-volume The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary is being heralded as “the first single-author literary translation of the complete Hebrew Bible.” I find the reading experience of this obvious work of a lifetime both fresh and refreshing, without the forced novelty that can plague newly released translations trying to catch the eye and ear of a Bible-saturated market.

Beyond the Birth

By

The baby’s coming!” Since time immemorial those three words have sounded a universal red alert for families. Take Jimmy and Laura Baker in Raleigh, North Carolina. Laura was great with child, but she’s been that way it seems for weeks. Until late Saturday afternoon when Laura groans, “The baby’s coming.” Red alert!
