    Jesus said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

    Every now and then you find yourself tacking a Bible passage that just doesn’t lend itself to starting your sermon with a joke. Today’s Gospel reading is one such passage. For divorce is no laughing matter, and of course I know that first-hand. Indeed, not only did I experience the divorce of my ...read more

    1 Corinthians 12:12-27 12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-- whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free-- and we were all given the one Spirit ...read more

    People have to be clean before entering the presence of God, and only Jesus can do the job.

    This is taking forever, isn’t it... preaching through the book of Revelation. It doesn’t have the familiar comfort of the gospel stories, or the practical theology of Paul’s letters, or the colorful stories of the Old Testament heroes. It’s just one clashing, disturbing ...read more

    What can you learn from a child?

    During this past week at kids camp I sure learned a lot or at least was reminded of many things that I had forgotten about.

    Having a grateful heart opens the doorway to greater blessings from God.

    Paul’s caution to the church about not judging...why we must not ignore that!

    1Welcome those who are weak in faith, but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions. 2Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables. 3Those who eat must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who eat; for God has welcomed ...read more

    Death is the great leveller - we will all die! Rich and poor, black and white, young and old. Someone once said that nothing is certain in life except taxes and death.
