A 'radical' old movement: GOD's home-based economy (montage: J Fowler)

Making Life Simple: A New Home Economy is Emerging

By Christine Sine on 01/09/2011

There is a whole new movement sweeping the Western world in which people everywhere are cutting back on their involvement in the cash economy, bartering, swapping, growing and cooking their own and generally learning to live with less…

Keeping Cool Without Air-Conditioning?

By Christine Sine on 07/19/2010

GOD's holistic Kingdom can't be confined to buildings (montage: J Fowler)

Whole-Life Christian Faith: Out of the Box

By Jason Fowler on 07/19/2010

Jesus calls us to…a spirituality that is incarnated…Will we go beyond the four walls of our comfortable Christianity and start living as disciples of Jesus? As Garrison Keillor has said: “Give up your good Christian life and follow Christ”…

Start a community garden at your church! (garden image: Christine Sine - montage: J Fowler)

Creating a Faith Based Community Garden

By Christine Sine on 04/22/2010

Gardening With GOD (original image: Christine Sine. montage: J Fowler)

Gardening With GOD

By Christine Sine on 04/02/2010

Perhaps one reason God created human beings to tend the garden is because God knew that it is in its midst that we connect most intimately to the character and ways of our Creator. Yet much theology about creation care focuses more on preserving wilderness areas and overcoming pollution than on the joy of gardening.

Jesus daily spent time in prayer (original image by Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi)

Did Jesus Lead A Balanced Life?

By Christine Sine on 02/06/2010
