  • Christlikeness

Originally a conti...

    Robert P. Vande Kappelle
    Everyone loves a good story--one with interesting characters, an intriguing plot, lots of twists and turns, and a surprise ending.

Examining the parables of Jesus, Living Water views parables as a wi...

  • Rebuilding the Temple

In response, the divine Creator loves us back into relationship, providing means of grace to help restore us to wholeness, beginning with our body and cont...

    People concerned with spirituality are seekers; instead of possessing truth, they seek to be possessed by it. Thus, a fully spiritual person is forever learning and growing. William Blake, the seminal mystic poet who worked to bring about change both in the social order and in common ways of thinking, taught that ''all we need to do is cleanse the doors of perception, and we sh...

    At a time when people are increasingly considering themselves ''spiritual but not religious,'' Wading in Water speaks of spirituality as an individual’s connection to a greater whole. Hence, the process of coming to know what we call God is also the process of knowing oneself. Thinking comprehensively, spirituality involves what is, what can be, and what ought to be. When activ...

  • Response to the Other
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    Human beings seek meaning and purpose. To do so, we tell stories about the past, which we call history, and stories about what will occur in the future, constructed from memory and imagination. History is not a subject we study, but one we live. History is our medium, as water is to fish. No period of antiquity is more informative and influential for Western civilization than t...

  • The Second Journey
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle

  • Adventures in Spirituality
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    Contrary to popular culture, the goal of life is not happiness, but meaning.

Feeling good is a flawed measure of life, but living meaningfully is transformative, for then one is living a developmental rather than a regressive agenda. The ego doe...

  • Walking on Water
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    How did Jesus do it? we wonder. How did he walk on water? To which we can imagine Jesus responding, ''O ye of literal faith. Walk with me on the waters of life; explore with me the depths of reality.'' Walking on water is not, as one might think, about staying on the surface of things, but rather about going deep into the ordinary aspects of our lives and finding gold. It is no...

    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    Three conditions plague us individually and socially--the compulsion to be successful, to be powerful, and to be right. Jesus faced these demons in the wilderness, and they tempt us as well. When used selfishly or for personal gain, success, power, and ideology can weaken and corrupt. However, when applied humbly and compassionately, they can be useful, even transformative.Cent...

    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle

  • In the Potter’s Workshop
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    When you think of God, what images come to mind? Do you see God in others? Do you acknowledge God’s presence in each circumstance and situation of your everyday life, no matter how trivial? How you conceive God determines how you experience God. As contemporary author Frederick Buechner advises, ''Listen to your life. Listen to what happens to you, because it is through what ha...
