    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on May 1, 2013
     | 7,066 views

    In the so-called mainline churches, many members cling to the adage, "We've never done it that way before!" As the religious people in Jesus' time discovered, hanging on to the old will blind us to the new thing that God is doing in our midst.

    Life’s crossroads can be messy, but sometimes you cannot walk around the mud, but you must march right through it. Yet even [when we are] walking through the mud, God does not abandon His children.

    A Bitter Goodbye (Genesis 31:17-55) 1. At Kokomo’s Jackson Morrow Park, Marylu and I were hiking. We like to walk several times a week, and a walk in the woods can add an pleasant environment.

    The biblical teacher in Ecclesiastes has one great advantage over us. In everything he says he is counting on God.

    For a long time, the biblical wisdom: “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity...“, used to seem very general to me. It is a beautiful poem – that´s true – but the idea itself appeared so obvious that there was no need to pay any special attention to ...read more
