The Intentional Christian Community Handbook by David Janzen

The Intentional Christian Community Handbook (Book Review)

By Brandan Robertson on 01/13/2013

Householding: Families As Christian Communities

By Melody Adele Connally on 06/06/2011

People want to know if, and how, householding can be possible….Paul gives the believers in Ephesus some directions about walking in love as the new community in Christ, and I believe householding is successful when we acknowledge our families as christian communities.

Householding: Everybody’s Living Together!

By Melody Adele Connally on 06/02/2011

These family and community clusters are really, in the context of history and geography, the most normal way for humans to live. So why does it seem so weird to move in with family?…

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”…

By Stuart Murray Williams on 04/27/2010

Did Jesus Lead A Balanced Life?

By Christine Sine on 02/06/2010

I spent a lot of time reading through the gospels specifically asking myself the question How did Jesus spend his time on earth? It was an enlightening study as I started to realize that Jesus really did have a very balanced life…

Semper Reformanda! (illustration by J Fowler)

Semper Reformanda

By Paul Littleton on 12/18/2009

I suspect that as long as the church remains in the world there will be reform movements calling her to greater faithfulness. I’d have to agree with the Protestant Reformers who believed that that was a good thing. Not perfect. But good. Semper Reformanda. Always Reforming.
