C.S. Lewis built his illuminating story of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader around the Christian journey: from resisting God's grace to discovering the reality of sin to finding relief in the waters of baptism. This voyage, for Christians of all ages, is full of adventures, temptation, discomforting silence, dealing with "Dufflepuds" (distractions), and a final terrifying journey to the "Island of Darkness" (the dark night of the soul). As the Dawn...

Keep walking. This may be the day your Jericho walls come down.
We all face them. Strongholds with a strong hold on our lives. Roadblocks to our joy. Obstacles in our marriages. Fortresses of fear blocking us from peace. How can we bring down these walls that keep us from the future God promises?
Remember the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho? Those were some formidable foes and big barriers.

This volume of the Streams of Mercy Study Series is devoted to two Old Testament prophetic writings: Isaiah 1-12 and Micah. Both prophets have unique qualities, but they also have much in common. In contrast, Isaiah was an urban prophet in Jerusalem and Micah was a rural prophet. However, both address similar issues. For instance, both condemn worship that was unrelated to ethical behavior. Many of the problems they faced, we still face today.

We've all heard the question, "what would Jesus do," but have you ever wondered what he would undo? The New Testament is filled with Jesus undoing anything that causes separation between God and the people he loves. What would Jesus undo in today's culture? The answer is a lot. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus undoes barriers of impotent religion (or religion that can't produce life in us), so that he can have a more intimate relationship with...

Even during exile, the Lord speaks through the faithful.
Jeremiah and Lamentations give us a spirituality of judgment, punishment, and discipline. The Lord brings justice. Turning from the Lord has consequences. But the Lord loves his people, so he disciplines them for their own good. There are profound words of hope in these books, but hope comes only after God's people have returned to the Lord.
Ezekiel has amazing visions from God-heavenly...
