     | 508 views

    Heaven is not just up, but in.

    The 212-area code is Manhattan, and it’s a status symbol as one of the most recognizable area codes in the United States. It’s considered more authentic than the more recent 646, 332 or 917 area codes for Manhattan. With a 212 Manhattan phone number, you’re sure to turn some heads, stand out from ...read more

    This week we step into "Ordinary Time" in the Christian Calendar. But Gpd invites us to make "Ordinary Time; not so ordinary.

    Galatians 3:23-29 (NLT) 23 Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed. 24 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us ...read more

    A time for everything.

    THE RELENTLESS RHYTHMS OF TIME. Ecclesiastes 3:1-13. ‘Turn, turn, turn’ is the refrain of the old pop song based upon these verses. However, time is not circular, but linear: it is more like a river relentlessly, but always, running downstream. It is our subjective experience of time that gives ...read more

    “You got it bad and that ain’t good. But there is a doctor in the house and his name is Jesus."

    Robert Coles, a Pulitzer Prize winner who taught at Harvard, believes that “the characters in novels can be persistent voices reminding us of the constant temptation toward egotism, and self-deception to which the mind is heir,’ and exhorting us to live lives that are morally inspired.”1 For ...read more

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C -- The Word Nonviolent Can Be An Adjective, It Modifies How

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2025
     | 413 views

    Jesus is asking us today not so much as “how can I find a gracious God? But “How can I find God in my enemy?” And, how can we be children of God in real life without loving our enemies?

    The fictional Klingon language from Star Trek has no words for love. Of course, the Klingons were creatures of pure logic, not emotion. So, the closest words for “love” in their language were “honor” or “unhate.” That would be easy for us if we could define love simply as “unhating” others. ...read more

    Salt is not for itself; it is seasoning for food. In the same way the disciples are there not for themselves but for the earth

    During the children’s service, the pastor was explaining that Christians are the “light, salt, and leaven” of the world. The children understood “light” and “salt,” but when the pastor asked them what “leaven” is, they were silent. Finally, young Michelle Williamson spoke up: “It’s what comes after ...read more

    Even in the fruit-bearing hearers of the word there are gradations.

    I saw a neighbor working in his front yard wearing a funny T-Shirt that said, “Sorry I Can't My Plants Need Me.” In today’s parable from Matthew, chapter 13, the seed is the Word of God (verse 20), and the ground is our hearts (verse 19). It all depends on what kind of soil a person is because ...read more

    The answer to the “tsunami of secularism” is nothing less than a tsunami of the Spirit.

    In the film “Dead Man Walking,” there is a striking moment of contrasting pastoral styles. As the condemned prisoner, Matthew Poncelet, walks to his execution, the prison chaplain, Father Farley, suddenly appears to offer his blessing — a dispassionate ritual performed from a safe distance. ...read more

    Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

     | 1,206 views

    I believe the question I would have asked the Sadducees would be, “Was this woman taking out life insurance policies on all these husbands?”

    One of my seminary professors said that it’s easy to remember who the Sadducees were because since they denied that there is a resurrection, they were “so sad you see.” The Sadducees were the ancient version of modern liberal theologians. They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more
