The loss of Psalm 104
A meditation from Steve Fitch 16 The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. 17 There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers. 18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the...
Can trees save lives? See how
The entry below is part of a week-long series by Steve Fitch, President of Eden Reforestation Projects. When we first met Maman Sisy, her third live-in husband had just abandoned her and her five children. So once again she and her kids were left destitute. Sadly,...
The redemption of creation… and why we should care
Too many Christians think environmentalism is a “soft” or political issue. Yet when we look at scripture, we see that God explicitly called us to be stewards of the environment (Genesis 2:15). Eden Reforestation Projects takes that calling seriously. Every year...
Getting there from here
Too often we are afraid to dream for fear of not being able to make the dream reality. But something within us needs to dream, even with the reality is far off down the road. Without those dreams it’s impossible to get there—with them it’s just hard. But there are...
A dream for the broken
I have a dream that God would heal the wounds of the broken, and that he would use us to do it. That the emotional wounds of the fatherless, the neglected, and the abused would be healed—that the effects of generational sin would stop here, cleansed by the power of...
A dream for the neighborhoods
I have a dream where I see all the neighborhoods across my city of Los Angeles coming together to connect first within themselves and then with each other. I have a dream that people would get to know their neighbor across the street and help them with their needs....
A dream for the churches
I have a dream where churches are serving the world around us… not with an eye toward ourselves, our own growth, our reputation, our benefit, but with an eye outward: disinterested service that expects nothing in return. I have a dream that the Body of Christ would...
I have a dream too
It was 48 years ago this month that Martin Luther King Jr. gave a brief, 17 minute speech that changed the way we think about racial relations in the United States. Who would have thought an idea—a vision—could have such a powerful impact? It didn’t change things...
Two Missio Intensives coming up this fall
Looking for a safe place to engage in honest dialogue about moving your church in missional directions? Check out one of the Missio Intensives. Far from a talking head conference, Missio Intensives build in time for dialogue, questions, processing what you’re...
The kindness of strangers
I’ve been amazed over the last month of my recuperation by how many others have been willing to come around and help me. Various people have driven me around. Someone came out and set up a wheelchair ramp for my outside stairs. People will hold elevators for me. Total...
To whom much is given
With my bum leg putting me on crutches, I am reading the parable of the talents (Matt 25:14-30) in a whole new light. Because I have less energy and ability than I used to, I have needed to recognize that I’m just not going to be able to do all I was before, at least...
The tea or the cell phone? Prioritization by necessity
When you are suddenly faced with limitations, such as my leg being in a post-surgical cast, it’s amazing how fast you can reprioritize what’s really important. My first priority is to be able to walk again and to perform the basic functions of day-to-day life. My...
