He was not a scrooge; he was a kind, decent, mostly good man, generous to his family, upright in his dealings with others, but he did not believe in all that Incarnation stuff that the Churches proclaim at Christmas time. ...read more

    Text: “And everyone went to his own town to register” (Luke 2:3). Before God created mankind, he had a plan on the drawing board. His plan was to create an environment in which he would place mankind. The environment would be self-sustaining and man’s primary function would be to communicate ...read more

    In the Eucharist, Jesus inaugurated a new mode of presence in “Lord’s supper” (1 Cor 11:20) or the “breaking of the bread” (Acts 2:42,46)

    (1) What the Eucharist is not—Cannibalism. Two men who lived in a small town got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So, they decided to talk to the wisest man in town. The first man went to the house of the wise man and told him his version of what happened. When he finished, ...read more

    The First Shall Be Last, And The Last Shall Be First

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more
