    Why Did Jesus Teach In Parables?

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 24, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,792 views

    By teaching in parables, Jesus simultaneously revealed truths to his disciples, and concealed truth about himself from those whose hardened hearts had already rejected it.

    Isaiah 6:1-10, Romans 11:1-11, Matt. 13:1-3, 10-16 Why Parables? In preparation for today’s homily, I went to Amazon on the internet and punched up all the titles they had with the word “parable” in them. I got about a thousand hits. Next, I requested a listing of all the titles they had ...read more

    The Parable Of The Tares

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,153 views

    How does Jesus’ parable, which argues for leaving tares undisturbed, square with admonitions in the epistles to discipline errant members of the congregation?

    Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 As far as the parables of our Lord are concerned, the one before us in today’s gospel is certainly clear. Some of them are not so clear, even when our Lord interprets them for his disciples; and others are left in the gospel record uninterpreted. This one, however, is ...read more

    The Father Of All Fatherhood

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 14, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,756 views

    God is not called Father because he reminds us of dear old Dad. Exactly the opposite is true. The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is the one from whom all fatherhood in heaven and earth takes its name.

    On the way here, as we were traveling across America last week, I saw the film _The War of the Worlds._ If you haven’t yet seen it, I heartily recommend the monsters, and the film contains great scenes carnage and destruction.

    In a culture that acts as if marriage were of no consequence, there exists a fascination with marriage. Paul’s statement that it is a Great Mystery explains why there is such a fuss about marriage.

    I know that all of you stand in line at grocery stores, and though I have not done any grocery shopping here in Orange City, I’d bet a bundle that the experience here is pretty much like my experience in a small town in North Texas.

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 3, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,575 views

    Life in the Kingdom is not an intellectual meritocracy. Rather, it is a respite for those who labor and are heavy laden in their spiritual ignorance. In one prayer of thanksgiving, Jesus condemns the "wise and prudent," and He welcomes the babes into Hi

    Truth In Advertising

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jun 26, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,518 views

    Unlike modern promoters of goods and services, who shade the truth, Jesus’ commissioning of his disciples was candid and complete -- with both warnings and promises.

    Truth in Advertising Ps. 89:1-18, Micah 7:1-7, Romans 6:3-11, Matt. 10:34-42 Some years ago there was a film about a group of crazy people – I think that was the title of the film: Crazy People – in which a group of patients in a mental institution began to write advertising. As I recall, the ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,195 views

    Matthew’s puzzling and sudden following of Jesus is not so puzzling if we attend to Matthew’s profession, his Levitial upbringing, and his recognition of Jesus as the one about whom Hosea prophesied.

    Matthew’s Puzzling Conversion Psalm 50 or 50:7-15, Hosea 5:15-6:6, Romans 4:13-18, Matthew 9:9-13 Last Sunday, I had occasion to mention the California coastal city named Laguna Beach.

    At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns his hearers against false prophets, giving them criteria by which they may recognize them when they come.
