“There is no such thing as excess in our taking of this spiritual food. There is no such virtue as temperance in spiritual feasting.” – Jonathan Edwards, “The Spiritual Blessings of the Gospel Represented by a Feast” (The Yale Works of Jonathan Edwards, Vol. 14)
Most historians would omit “moderation” or “temperance” from a list of the dominant traits of our secular age. Who could disagree? Much depends, however, on the choice of topic. Moderation with respect to what?

Perhaps you have had a serious doubt about a particular Christian truth claim. You continue to believe, say, that Jesus is God incarnate, but you also seriously question that belief. Some of the doubts we experience can be easily brushed aside. We brush aside “light” doubts every day. But the kind of doubts I have in mind in this brief post are ones that are persistent and not easy to brush aside.

Dear friends of Christian Union at Cornell,
Spring has arrived in Ithaca! While winter, too, is a gift from the Lord, spring is a wonderful reminder of the new life that is ours in Christ. Praise Him for the provision of a Savior who has accomplished everything we need for our salvation, to His glory.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As I write to you, students here in Princeton are just finishing up their final exams and commencement and reunions are just a few days away. As the academic year comes to a close, we at Christian Union Princeton conclude the year with gratitude for your prayers and support for making ministry here possible. Over the past month, we have seen God work in the lives of our students. This has been happening both by large-scale, ministry-wide events as well as through individualized, one-on-one interactions with our students.

Greetings!
Summer has finally arrived in all its verdant glory here in New Haven, and with it has come the time for us to say goodbye to our seniors and 'see you soon' to our underclassmen as they head off for the summer.

If you’re a newspaper reader as I am, mornings can sometimes be a challenge for my equilibrium. Bad news makes the front page and does its best to assault my conviction that God is sovereign in this world. There is great value being rooted in the scriptures, and in understanding the times. 1 Peter reiterates for us the truth that our joy and hope is rooted in what we know to be true of God and his working in the world – from day one to the day when all things are made new in Christ. In that light I can rejoice.
