When Christmas is On a Sunday

http://bobstevenson.net/christmas-on-Sunday

Bob Stevenson is writing on the Svbtle. December 6, 2016. When Christmas is On a Sunday. This Sunday, Village will celebrate the third week of Advent. One of our families will light the third candle out of four, and our corporate anticipation will deepen. We will strain forward a bit more for that day when we rejoice that the long expected One has come. And the expectation is especially sweet this year because Christmas falls on a Sunday. To church on Sunday? And we get, each year, to experience the sati...

Light Breaks

http://bobstevenson.net/light-breaks

Bob Stevenson is writing on the Svbtle. March 26, 2016. It was dark. In so many ways. Those who have experienced sudden and tragic loss know the feeling: numbness; a leaden heart; anger. The ambush of tears. The growing realization of loss – oh the loss! What did the disciples feel on that Friday? After the shock wore off? What did they awake too? But all these dreams, hopes, expectations, yearnings, joys were wrapped up in grave clothes and entombed in blackness. Blackness like their future. When they a...

Voting When There’s Simply No Good Option

http://bobstevenson.net/voting-when-theres-simply-no-good-option

Bob Stevenson is writing on the Svbtle. July 22, 2016. Voting When There’s Simply No Good Option. It’s been quite the election cycle. I began watching the preliminaries with interest, then amusement, then a sinking realization that the ironic prediction I made earlier this year the beginning was becoming reality. And I’m not alone. I’ve been asked a few times, “So…who are you voting for? Rdquo; It’s a knotty one, to be sure. What do you do when there’s no good option? As such Christian, you live. And Chr...

Thoughts on Orlando

http://bobstevenson.net/thoughts-on-orlando

Bob Stevenson is writing on the Svbtle. June 14, 2016. Here are a few thoughts. Who’s to Blame? Senseless tragedies are disorienting, because we are not wired to experience senseless suffering. We need to find meaning. It’s part of who we are. So it makes sense that, when a tragedy like this occurs, we scramble to find some meaning, to assign some kind of blame. If we can somehow peg responsibility somewhere, we can, perhaps, cope with the fact. Let me be blunt: this line of thinking is wrong. We can...

Mercy Blindness

http://bobstevenson.net/mercy-blindness

Bob Stevenson is writing on the Svbtle. August 27, 2015. There was, recently, some hullabaloo about James Harrison, the Steeler who returned his kids’ participation awards. He wanted them to learn to “earn a real trophy.” Fair enough. Then I was handed an opinion piece which celebrated this move as a critique of the American entitlement culture. I can also live with that. Rdquo; or “of what kind? Of course, the picture is complex. As a dear friend reminds me: sinners corrupt the Dream; saints can red...

Bob Stevenson is writing on the Svbtle. Pastor. Can’t get enough of the gospel. Aug 9, 2015. Ever struggle to see judgment as a good thing? It scares us, we fear it, and it feels antithetical to a good and loving God. But why is this? Perhaps most poignantly, we have a distaste for judgment because we all know that, deep inside, we deserve it. Continue reading →. Aug 8, 2015. Death, the Breach. Death is a terrible breach. It upsets a fundamental expectation of our humanity: that we are linear creatures, ...

How We Talk to God

http://bobstevenson.net/how-we-talk-to-god

Bob Stevenson is writing on the Svbtle. September 1, 2015. How We Talk to God. In some ways, prayer is rather intuitive. We talk to God. God hears us. That’s prayer. And in some ways, we’re all. Most of us are accustomed to petitioning God when stuck between a particular rock and knobby hard place. All good Christians know they must give the “food prayer.” Goodness, even the most. And more could be said on that, but not here. I am more interested in the normative question: what should prayer. Hear us, an...
