One that says we’re a mess, a mistake, a fool, a fraud. That voice says everyone else has it...Prayer | By Lori Walke | May 16, 2019 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 3rd Principle (Acceptance & Spiritual Growth), God, Searching, Self-Respect, Vulnerability -

O God, who moves among the stars of the cold clear sky, whose voice whispers in the silence of falling snow, whose silence stills our hearts and leaves us wondering and waiting.

I kind of hate when he does that. I love God best, I confess, when I...Poetry | By Bob Janis-Dillon | June 15, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 4th Principle (Truth & Meaning), Doubt, Forgiveness, God, Playfulness, Searching, Spiritual Practice, WorshipWeb -
We know the story: an angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds. The glory of the Lord shone around them.

"Can faith equal faith? Do gods of one faith take care of the believers of other faiths? Who will protect my god when he falters and his faith fails? Do the gods of one faith take care of the gods of other faiths?" These questions all come from the poem "Faith," by Justin Chin. In the poem, the...Sermon | By Kelly Weisman Asprooth-Jackson | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 4th Principle (Truth & Meaning), God, Identity, Psychology, Searching
