Pearls of Wisdom: on dreams

June 8, 2016 By Krisan Marotta

About this series: Many years ago, we asked the matriarchs in our church to share “pearls of wisdom” they learned over the course of their walk with the Lord. We collected their stories in a booklet which we distributed through the women’s ministries. My copy of the booklet is now tattered and faded, and many of the women quoted are home with the Lord. To keep their words alive and honor their wisdom, I am sharing their pearls here before my booklet turns to dust. I hope these words inspire you to share a cup of tea with an older woman in your church and listen to her pearls of wisdom.

Nehemiah: Between two worlds

November 11, 2014 By Krisan Marotta

Nehemiah was caught between two worlds. How do you resolve that tension? Nehemiah lived a secure, safe, comfortable, powerful life when we meet him in chapter 1 of the Old Testament book that bears his name.  As cupbearer to King Artaxerxes, the most powerful man of his day, Nehemiah tasted the king’s food and drink […]

I’m Confused, You’re Annoying, and He’s Pig-Headed. To God be the Glory!

March 31, 2014 By Krisan Marotta

Can God use less-than-perfect believers without also perfecting them at the same time? Do their failures negate the good examples of Abraham and David? Apparently not.

Parables of Jesus

May 18, 2013 By Krisan Marotta

Understanding Parables

Parables are serious theology. But they are metaphorical theology. They teach through metaphor, simile, and dramatic action rather than through logic or reasoning.

Who are you listening to?

May 9, 2013 By Krisan Marotta

Today we often seek preachers who tell us stories, make us laugh, and tickle our ears with poetry and platitudes. We would rather listen to Jon Stewart than Jonathan Edwards. We ought to think critically about how far we have slipped down the slope of valuing style over substance.

Lance Armstrong and fallen heroes

February 6, 2013 By Krisan Marotta

Fallen Bicycle

Fallen heroes teach us that we need more than an earthly hero. Throughout biblical history, God gave us fallen heroes and failed solutions to prepare us for the only solution that works.

Solomon’s wisdom and last resorts

January 29, 2013 By Krisan Marotta
