  • Easter Answers a Lot

    Friday, April 18th, 2008

    Everybody has questions—those big, way-deep-down-in-the-soul kinds of questions about life, death, religion and all that. Answers to those questions (we all ask the same basic ones) become our beliefs.
    Here are a few of the Top 20:

    Who am I, and why am I alive?
    What does this life mean?
    Is there another life after this one?
    What is the [...]

  • Easter Life

    Saturday, April 19th, 2008

    When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
    “Where, O death, is your victory?Where, O death, is your sting?” (Hosea 13:14)
    The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But [...]

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: Happy Easter!

    Thursday, April 24th, 2008

    If you had the chance to join the Coastlands family for their pancake breakfast and massive egg hunt, or if you had a similar celebration with friends at home, you’ve witnessed the sheer delight with which those little kids plucked the red, green, pink and blue plastic eggs from their “hiding places.”  Each egg with [...]

  • Newness of Life

    Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

    Several aspects of a New Year can be troublesome—like the inclination to write last year when filling in the date on applications or checks, and then having to cross it out or get creative in transforming a “7” into an “8.” But by and large, we love the opportunity to start over and make “a [...]

  • Our Stories Told: 2006

    Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

    Not your customary Easter performance, “Our Stories Told” is a collection of dramatic monologues which, taken together, encompass the gamut of human responses to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus: wonder, anger, despair, pain, confusion, grief, hope.

  • Shining Brighter And Brighter, Part 3

    Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

    If you find yourself severely depressed, stuck, or confused, you are very likely recycling a set of conclusions through your mind that you don’t even realize aren’t true. Or you may be in a protracted season of spiritual drought, and can’t imagine anything better for yourself. In either case, you will want to hear this [...]

    A Comprehensive but Simple Statement of Faith
    by Daniel A. Brown, PhD
    Throughout the summer of 1973, between my Junior and Senior years at UCLA, I led a small group of college students on an outreach program in the seedy streets and sordid nights of Hollywood. Among the many interesting people I met was Evgenna, a young [...]
