| Following are mostly articles by Todd Mott (one by his wife Rebecca),
originally published in his local newspaper.
• Can a Christian push too hard? Todd
shares comparisons between running and Christian living, drawing from
the Scriptures and personal experience. He gives special attention to
the need to be realistic in one's expectations for personal performance
in Running to Win: Training Tips for
the Spirit.
• If a picture is worth a thousand words, a
whole person must be worth a million. Communicating challenging
concepts is always difficult. It took Jesus himself to convey the concept
of God. Todd explains in Communicating
God.
• Does God sometimes give us lemons because
he knows how much we need lemonade? With Joseph's experience
as the example par excellence, Todd discusses the sometimes inscrutable,
but always benevolent, providence of God in Making
Lemonade.
• Despite our unworthiness, God wants us to
approach Him with confidence. Read about The
Approachable God.
• When the church functions like God intended,
it is like a harmonizing choir, producing beautiful music. Each
member has a role, and each one complements the others. God's
Chorus.
• Face to face with God. Peoples'
faces produce all kinds of reactions in us. God's can be the most
terrifying, or the most beautiful, face in the universe. Guess how
He wants us to see Him. Seeing
God's Face.
• Some things just won't get clean, no matter
how hard we scrub. The cleaning products industry spends millions
annually, advertising products that take advantage of our frustrated wish
for a better cleaner. No stain is more indellible than our sin, as Todd
explains in Mr. Clean Magic
Eraser.
