    Jesus’ parable of the Wedding shows God’s judgment on those who refuse his invitation, and his grace on those who do.

    Dressing for the Wedding Matt. 22:1-14 Today when you enter various restaurants, you are confronted by a sign that says “No shirt, no shoes, no service.” A sign like this is also a sign of the time, I suppose, for it would not be necessary to post such a sign, except that there are a number of ...read more

This is true for the Christian as well, as we don’t live in some magic or charmed circle just because we’re ...read more

    This parable doesn’t mean that we tolerate all sorts of bad behavior. Jesus doesn’t condone weed (pun intended).
