The big and intricate love of God

The big and intricate love of God

Many of us are familiar with the following Scriptures – but seeing their reality is downright mesmerizing. That’s why we’re sharing an incredible video for you to watch after you’ve taken a moment to read through these verses–the video will allow you to see the truth within them: God loves who He has made.  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2  Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will...Read more …
Lovers

Lovers

The true sign that we have been learning from and following after Jesus is this: that we will love like Jesus loved. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (Jn 13:35 NIV). In Ephesians, Paul prays “that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God” (Eph 3:17-19). Love and unity among diverse...Read more …

On the Radio this week – Walk the Way

This is Walk the Way, brought to you by Q Place, I’m Jeff Klein.  And I’m Pam Klein. In light of recent events that have happened around the world and in our own country, people are once again asking a myriad of questions. So you say there’s a God? Is your God the same God as my God? Why does God allow evil and hate? How should I respond? Or these: Who do I need to be afraid of? Will violence ever stop? What does peace look like? In many ways, these questions aren’t new–they’ve been asked in countless ways, by...Read more …
What I learned on my way to Maui

What I learned on my way to Maui

“Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging...Read more …
“Where are you from?”

“Where are you from?”

Here in the Northwest, experts and our government leaders have asked us to prepare for a major earthquake. Cities in my area were looking for citizens willing to get a resource called “Map Your Neighborhood” (MYN) into the hands of those who’d be willing to act. As I considered my work with Q Place, I saw this as an incredible opportunity, so I jumped at the chance. I’ve since been endorsed by Washington State Emergency Management to work with and through churches to help get this wonderful resource into many local neighborhoods! It may be “only” the earthquake now, but who knows...Read more …

This is Walk the Way, brought to you by Q Place, I’m Jeff Klein. And I’m Pam Klein. My summer book club just read a lovely novel about a French bookstore owner who sells books from a floating barge on the Seine river. But he’s gifted. Jean Perdu can literally prescribe just the right book for anyone to help mend their broken hearts and souls. Of course, the only person he can’t heal is himself, but you’ll have to read the story for yourself to find out more. Among all the things I enjoyed about this book, I found the...Read more …
Listen with Your Eyes

Listen with Your Eyes

Twenty years ago, psychologist Arthur Aron discovered that four minutes of looking into another person’s eyes could bring people closer. When I first saw the video that Amnesty Poland produced based on this theory, I watched it, mesmerized. The film experiment, conducted in Berlin, shows what happened when refugees and Europeans sat opposite each other and looked into each other’s eyes. The participants were ordinary people. The situations weren’t staged and the beautiful reactions were natural and spontaneous. A smile creeps across a mouth, a tear wells up, a heavy sigh is breathed, a greeting of hello murmured, and compliments, attempts at...Read more …
What Journalism Taught Me about Evangelism

What Journalism Taught Me about Evangelism

Some of the things she talked about, she had never told anyone—she said to me as we were getting ready to leave. My friend and I were having lunch together on a Saturday afternoon in our college café after working at a convention the college hosted for high school students. Our intent was to grab a quick lunch, leave, and get on with our own things for the rest of the day. But the opposite happened. We sat for more than four hours simply having a conversation. It started off casual. We talked about the convention. We talked about our...Read more …

This is Walk the Way. Brought to you by Q Place. I’m Jeff Klein. When I was a kid, I was lucky enough to see Barnum and Bailey’s Circus more than once. My favorite—the clowns. My second favorite—the elephants. But the most nerve racking were those crazy acrobats who would perch on that small platform at the top of the stadium, ready for some death defying stunt. I remember the tension. No one was sure where to look, but then, all at once, a giant spotlight would direct our eyes to the ceiling where the acrobat was perched. The light...Read more …
