  • Murder Mystery Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 963 views

    Anger is the impulse to strike out - either with words or with actions - at whatever threatens us, or threatens something we value. Anger is an impulse to destruction. Anger is in stark contrast to the commandment to love, which brings life.

    Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. I'll wager there's not one person in this room who doesn't take at least one good look at him or herself in the mirror every day. Maybe you don't care much. But you ...read more

  • Righteousness Plus Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,418 views

    The law has a purpose beyond itself. The law is a tool to form a people for God.

    Judicial philosophy is much in the news right now. And underlying the debates – in addition to some very important policy issues - are some very fundamental questions. Who makes the law? Where does law come from? What is law for? What can law do? What role should religion play in the formation of ...read more

  • Change Agents Series

    Salt goes into the body. It is necessary, and good, and contributes to the health of the body. It changes the body – for a time. But for lasting change to occur something has to go into the mind and heart as well. And that is where light comes in.

    How many of you keep a watch on how much salt you eat, buying the low-sodium versions of things like canned soup and cold cuts and avoiding high-sodium treats like pizza and potato chips? It’s an article of faith that salt is hazardous to your health. And it’s very difficult to avoid, since most ...read more

  • The Gift Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 717 views

    Persecution is the flip side of peace-making. If we live out the first 7 beatitudes, this one, the 8th, follows on their heels as surely as water flows downhill.

    About 35 years ago, a Romanian pastor came to visit the church I belonged to, a nice white church in a rich western suburb of Minneapolis. He had gotten to know my pastor, who had been involved in a Bible-smuggling ministry when the Iron Curtain was still up. Pasor John asked him what he thought ...read more

  • Peace Work Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 961 views

    God’s peace is not the same as the world’s peace - even though people filled with God’s peace DO bring peace to the world.

    We human beings are not naturally peacemakers. On the contrary: we’re naturally trouble-makers. A few years ago a group of people tried walking across America on a mission of peace. They couldn't get along and divided into two groups by the time they were half way across. According to the ...read more

  • Heart-Eye Coordination Series

    "To an impure heart, God cannot be seen anywhere; but to a pure heart God is to be seen everywhere.” -- Charles Spurgeon

    How many of you wear glasses? I’ve worn mine since I was seven years old. I was able to wear contact lenses for about 20 years but after about 40 they don’t work so well. And since I got cataract surgery and don’t need glasses for distance, I’m using reading glasses – so I have to take them on and ...read more

  • Unstrained Mercy Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 739 views

    None of us can forgive the wrongs done to someone else. We can, however, show mercy to anyone who is suffering - whether forgiveness is involved or not.

    Every week it seems like there’s another new disaster. The 10 plagues that Moses visited on Egypt to convince Pharoah to free the Israelites almost pale in comparison. Talk about plagues? We hoped that 2021 would see the end of Covic19 but noooooo. And as if that weren’t enough, an earthquake ...read more

  • A Healthy Appetite Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 965 views

    The proper response to mourning over the reality of suffering, and the key to meekness, is not conquering desire, but learning to desire the right things.

    How many of you are planning to watch a football game today? How many of you are mourning the defeat of the Packers??? Anybody care about the fate of the Titans? Have you since switched your allegiance to the Rams or the Bengals? Now, who’s not going to watch anything? Who doesn’t much care one ...read more

  • Neither Wimps Nor Wolves Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 613 views

    The wolf who has learned to guard the sheep has a permanent place at the master’s fire.

    Do any of you remember the old musical Camelot, about King Arthur and the Round Table? It was popular back in the early 60's, it’s one of the reasons the Kennedy White House started being called Camelot. The reason I bring it up is because of Lancelot. Remember Lancelot? Until he and Guenevere ...read more

  • It Begins With Mourning Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 954 views

    Mourning is the first step on the journey back to God.

    Mourning is what happens when your eyes are opened, your heart is opened, to something so manifestly wrong with your world that you can neither bear it, ignore it, or affect it. Mourning is the first step on the journey back to God. I recently listened to a very interesting conversation about ...read more

  • At The Poverty Line Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,055 views

    Being financially secure, being well educated, having the respect and admiration of your neighbors, none of those get you credit in God’s kingdom. We’re all charity cases there.

    Are you happy? If not, what would it take to make you happy? For most people, happiness seems to have something to do with our circumstances. In our youth-obsessed culture, perhaps we feel we have to look backward to imagine happiness. “What is happiness?” and “How can I get happiness?” are two ...read more

  • Roadside Assistance Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 686 views

    We’re called fight a battle, but we’re not called to fight it alone. The fact that you are here, today, is living proof that God has been with you on your journey.

    This year was my 34th re-birthday. I celebrate it every year. I became a Christian in 1984. And I look back on those thirty plus years with amazement and wonder. God’s fingerprints are all over them. Do you ever do that? Look back and see what God has done? I’m sure most of you know the poem, ...read more

  • Security Systems Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 571 views

    Our security in the face of an awesomely holy God is no longer in elaborate rituals and barriers but in Jesus Christ.

    As you all know I flew to Minneapolis between Christmas and New Year’s. And since the terror alert is at orange, inspections are more thorough and lines are longer. Also both the Minneapolis and Philadelphia airports have X-ray machines for the checked baggage. Fortunately the standards aren’t so ...read more

  • Repeat After Me Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 658 views

    Why did Jesus give us this prayer?”

    Who has been watching the Olympics this week? There was a lot of excitement around the newest event, snow-board-cross. We do like new things, don’t we. Even the winter Olympics themselves are, in a way, new. The Ancient Greeks didn’t ski, or ice skate. In fact, the first 13 Olympiads featured only ...read more

  • Sick Or Tired? Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,014 views

    We are to pray in faith: not in particular outcomes, but in God. It is up to God to determine whether spiritual, emotional, or physical healing is needed.

    "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." So said Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The American colonists were declaring themselves free of one powerful authority and committing themselves to another. They expected to be ...read more
