The Apostle John: Transformed by Love
By Vince Antonucci Researchers tell us our identity drives our behavior. We think we make decisions based on a rational analysis of pros and cons. But far more often we make choices based on what James March called the “identity model.” March, a Stanford University professor who died in 2018, said when making a decision we essentially (and mostly subconsciously) ask ourselves three questions: Who am I?

“˜Faith Up” to Your Fears
Compiled by Doug Redford Feeling fearful these days? That”s not unusual. Throughout the Bible we find stories of God”s people who were afraid.

Somebody Already
By Robert F. Hull Jr. (From our series “The Best or Worst Advice I’ve Ever Received.”) “Don’t get above your raising,” is what they said to me. Yes, I realize country people have said this for so long that it has become a maxim, but that’s probably because it’s such good advice. As I was preparing to leave the hills of West Virginia for college, I must have heard it from several of my kinfolk, but I’ll attribute it to my mother. It comes in two other versions: “Don’t get too big for your britches,” and “Remember where you came
