Loving the Body ... Head to Toe
John Chrysostom offers some interesting words on the unity of the body of believers in this excerpted piece—cautioning the head not to look down upon the feet, nor the feet to look with envy on the head—but for all parts of Christ’s Body to work in harmony, each to its own particular perfection.

Growing in Grace Daily
“She was constantly and consciously growing in grace daily—yea even hourly her heavenward progress seemed marked as by the finger of God.” If Phoebe Palmer’s words fill you with a sense of longing, read on. This excerpt is an exploration of how confidence in our belovedness primes us to wait on God.

Hope for the American Church
We share a letter from Joshua Banner where he describes his growing conviction to stand against racism and “the industrial prison system,” how spiritual transformation is key, and how his recent conversation with Chris Hall has challenged him not to lose hope in the Church to combat social crises.

The Advantages of Having One Leg
Thanksgiving time or any time is a good time for our good friend, G.K. Chesterton, who brings his inimitable style & unquenchable exuberance to the topic of living with a sprained foot. Chesterton rejoices in his one-leggedness and muses how “the way to love anything is to realize it might be lost.”

A Perpetual Remembrance of His Bounty
Eucharisteo is the Greek word for thanksgiving. So, it is fitting that this excerpt from John Chrysostom’s homily centers the idea of thanksgiving around the celebration of the Eucharist. Join us to marvel at the extravagance of God’s love, especially as poured out through the sacrifice of the Son.

Grace, Nothing but Grace
What better way to celebrate a week with the Boston Cohort of the Renovaré Institute than with Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s sweet meditation on the blessings of Christian community? He captures perfectly the great gift we enjoyed simply by being in each other’s presence in this excerpt from Life Together.

There is More to Life than Guilt

The Dogma is the Drama
Dorothy Sayers ponders why so many Christians have attempted to “efficiently pare the claws of the Lion of Judah, certifying him ‘meek and mild,’ and recommending him as a fitting household pet for pale curates and pious old ladies.” She finds an antidote to this in the very tenants of Christianity.

Pauses for Advent: Welcoming
It is always a pleasure to welcome one of our favorite Renovaré friends, Trevor Hudson. He has a new Advent devotional out this year called
Pauses for Advent: Words of Wonder,
and, because we’re enjoying it so much, we thought we’d share today’s entry with you at renovare.org. Be blessed!

By Promise and Prophecy
As we look toward the Second Sunday of Advent, we’d like to share this thoughtful piece on God’s promises and their fulfillment taken from Augustine of Hippo’s discourse on the psalms. We hope your Advent is continuing to be a rich and reflective season.
