Resist Not Evil. Really?

Changing the world does not require violence. Jesus proved that. “Do not resist an evildoer,” he said. “Love your enemies.” But what about Isis? What about injustices and tyrannies that need to be addressed?

Which Flags Do You Fly?

Confederate flags were raised in the 1960s as a symbol of resistance to integration. They’re coming down because the statement they make is harmful and outdated. Are you still flying any flags that stand for unhappiness in the past?

Remember the... What Was That Again?

The commandment to “remember the Sabbath” is the only one that implies it could be forgotten. But what does it mean to “remember the Sabbath” in the 21st century when “open 24 hours” and 60- to 80-hour workweeks are common. Is this really a commandment, or a throwback to a simpler time?

What would it be like to trust what your heart is directing you to do, to live always connected to this divine, inner intelligence and to live a life of peace and joy?
