Be Still and Go

The Riverside Church NYC•www.trcnyc.org

Be Still and Go is a digital devotional that invites you to reflect on a text or a theme so that you can be refilled and refueled for the work of love and justice that you are called to do. And this work is not a sprint. Take a moment and do your stretches because we’re in this for the whole marathon.

The Cool of the Day (Farley Lord)

"Our tendency has been to respond to God’s covenant with greed instead of gratitude, dismissal instead of attention, confident ignorance instead of loving curiosity. The prophets criticize this and don’t we know it today." // Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out o...

This Is Our Boast (Michael Livingston)

"In our weakness, in our humanity, Christ rises, God triumphs." // 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, t...

God Has Hands (Jim Keat)

"God has hands; they are attached to your wrists." // 2 Corinthians 5:20-6:10 So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. For he says, “At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I hav...

I'm Sorry (Kevin Wright)

"Who knew that an 'I’m sorry' could feel so good?" // Joel 2:1-2, 12-17 Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming, it is near— a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness spread upon the mountains a great and powerful army comes; their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them in ages to come. Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with al...

Ash Wednesday (Amy Butler)

"I was beginning a journey of discovery, of telling the truth about who I am in a world that keeps telling me to show up prettier and smarter and shinier and more articulate and all the things I most definitely am not." // This episode was written and recorded by Amy Butler, the Senior Minister of the Riverside Church. It was produced by Rev. Jim Keat, the Associate Minister of Digital Strategy and Online Engagement at The Riverside Church. Find out more at www.trcnyc.org/BeStillAndGo ....
