God of an Orderly Universe (Scholar’s Compass)

August 25, 2015 by Zachary Ardern 1 Comment

Biologists study life processes – perhaps we should be astounded by a world in which we can study! We live in a remarkable universe, with God’s fingerprints all over. Though undoubtedly marred, nature still appears intricate, dynamic, and perhaps even fine-tuned for life.

Lent brings me back to reflections on loss, grief, suffering

March 1, 2012 by Tom Grosh IV 1 Comment

Nisly_Sweeping_Up_the_Heart

Last week I began the 2012 series with Entering Lent: “I Want” in Higher Education. As you may remember, Kent Annan’s “After Shock” saturated my 2011 Lenten reflection. With Kent’s recent visit to South Central PA and the deep chord which “I Want” struck not only with me, but also a number of the students with whom I watched it, I wondered if my 2012 reflections would largely draw from his earlier book “Following Jesus Through the Eye of the Needle” (InterVarsity Press, 2009). Although this may still occur, on Friday I began reading a new book.
