A Church For A Time Such As This. July 18, 2016. July 19, 2016. As the time came for our prayer on Sunday morning, we couldn’t help but pray the news – for the victims of gun violence across the nation, for those trapped in the cycle of racism, and for those whose call to protect and serve left them exposed, threatened and afraid. It is awful to watch and even more gut wrenching to live. America is on fire – full of rage and stocked up on anger, plenty of it righteous. We’re long on s...They know that th...

About Daniel | Daniel Ogle
https://danielogle.wordpress.com/about
For as long as I can remember I’ve had two obsessions, well besides playing first base for the Chicago Cubs. I’ve always loved words reading them, speaking them (way too much for my own good) and eventually writing them. My mom was convinced at a fairly early age that I would be a writer. I told her she was nuts. It turns out she wasn’t. I spent a few years writing about one kind of religion. College football and even had my name show up on ESPN.com you can read that here. I write about good books. Despi...

Modern Compassion: Or What I’m Learning from Reading Emma Straub. August 8, 2016. August 8, 2016. It’s hard to find a list of summer beach reads without Modern Lovers. The new book from Emma Straub, on it. Her books find their way on these lists because they aren’t dense, feature family drama combined with romance, and you can read them over the course of a vacation or even a weekend if you can avoid the television and other distractions. 8211; is a story that has something to teach us. That, of course, ...

Six For Your Long Weekend. September 2, 2016.

A Church Nerd’s Summer Reading List | Daniel Ogle
https://danielogle.wordpress.com/2016/06/15/a-church-nerds-summer-reading-list
A Church Nerd’s Summer Reading List. June 15, 2016. June 18, 2016. We just set the dates for our summer vacation with the family – which means at least two things – packing noise-cancelling headphones and bringing lots of books. The summer means different things for different people, but in our house it means a little bit of a break to finally find the time to read those books that have been on our Amazon Wish List or have been collecting dust around the house. The Class Meeting, Kevin Watson. I came out...

Forgetting Fair and Living With Grace: A Sermon on Labor, Salary and a Generous Owner | Daniel Ogle

Forgetting Fair and Living With Grace: A Sermon on Labor, Salary and a Generous Owner. September 5, 2016. I thought about beginning this morning with a story about a game. It was a game with two teams. One that came to play at the beginning, played hard, worked hard, and did everything they could, played almost as well as they could possibly play. And my dad, in his wisdom and sympathy, usually had a quick rejoinder – well guess what, life isn’t fair! And we know that’s true, don’t we? So, it shouldn’t s...

More Than Work: Losing The Idol of Busy and Finding Grace in Rest | Daniel Ogle
https://danielogle.wordpress.com/2016/08/30/more-than-work-losing-the-idol-of-busy-and-finding-grace-in-rest
More Than Work: Losing The Idol of Busy and Finding Grace in Rest. August 30, 2016. Fridays are the most difficult days of my week. Fridays are also my day off. Sundays aren’t really days of rest for preachers – as friends in church are so kind to remind me, this is the only day I work all week. And Saturdays, well between the Gunners, the Vols and the honey-do list that awaits, there’s not a lot of Spirit-infused rest happening then either. I’ve read the books – Heschel. I’m reminded of that visit that ...

Ways Off the Path: The Spiritual Discipline of Becoming Less of a Jerk. February 22, 2016. June 3, 2016. Note: This is the second in my Lent series, Ways Off the Path, on some of the ways we can fall of the path and get separated with God. You can find a link to last week’s post at the bottom of the page.). Once, in an online employee profile a co-worker shared that she believed one of my primary spiritual gifts is sarcasm. I’m fairly certain it wasn’t a compliment. There is a place for clear-minded and ...
