Peace in our time - by Dr. David Haymes

Dr. David Haymes shares his feelings about #morepeace during the 2020 Advent season.
1 Peter 3:11 Let them turn away from evil and do good; let them seek peace and pursue it. I was asked to write a brief blog about peace.  But I don't feel peaceful. Oh, m… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/peace-in-our-time-dr-david-haymes/

Tent-Worthiness

Roughly three years ago, Chick-Fil-A opened a new location in Ruston Louisiana. Now for Dallas that’s not a big deal, but in Ruston it was quite the event.
“… and I recall that there was a great many of you waiting outside the Chick-fil-a when it opened. Some of you had even camped out. A year’s worth of chicken – that’s worthy of a t… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/tent-worthiness/

Advent Devotional: December 14

When we work to focus on the small blessings in our lives, it often strengthens our hearts for the journey.
Be patient, therefore, beloved, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the … http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/advent-devotional-december-14/

Centered in Divine Mystery

Embracing the risk to trust divine mystery with humility, as both a position of weakness and the key to reconciliation.
There is a theme in some of Brent’s sermons lately that I get really excited about when I hear it. It might seem odd, but when I hear pastoral urgings toward ‘humility,’ all the… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/centered-in-divine-mystery/

Lenten Devotional: February 29th

Less as a commandment and more a promise, love and you will live; even though you are living on the edge of death.
Go out into the world in peace. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself. What's one of the fi… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/lenten-devotional-february-29th/

Lenten Devotional: February 28th

What Jesus did was put the love of God and love of neighbor together, as though they were a single commandment.
For the last 6 ½ years we have been charging each other at the end of every worship service with these words: Go out into the world in peace. Love the Lord your God with al… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/lenten-devotional-february-28th/

The Call to Dialogue Fearlessly

Seek not to battle, but strive to understand. Reach out in love and discourse, departing from division and difference.
Trappist monk Thomas Merton with the Dalai Lama in 1968, whom Merton met during his Asia trip. (CNS photo/Thomas Merton Center at Bellarmine University) In his September 27th … http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/the-call-to-dialogue-fearlessly/

Prisoner of Hope

We may give up on hope, but hope has not given up on us.
I talked to a good friend this week who said it bluntly. "I have given up on hope." I get it. Earthquakes, riots, terrorism, racism, poverty, and scapegoating on every side… http://www.northparkpres.org/blog/prisoner-hope/
