    Examination of 2 common phrases, "Hate's weak, stop it", and "Hate the sin, love the sinner" The main idea is to hate what God hates and love those God loves.

    Hate's Weak, stop it! This morning I bring you my second installment of the wisdom found in twitter. Donnie Wahlberg said, “Hate’s weak, STOP IT”. Looking for Scripture related to this turns up interesting results. I found many verses where we aren't told to stop hating. In ...read more

    [This sermon was preached on 8 July 2018, 7th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Years ago, a man came to me for help. His life was in a mess. When he looked to the past, he saw many relationships that had shipwrecked. Several of them were still haunting him almost daily. His ...read more

    The Purposes of God

    A. Jesus came for two purposes. 1. The first was to reconcile man to God. When you are involved in the ministry of reconciliation, you are doing that which pleases the Father and displeases satan. 2. The second reason was to destroy the "devil's work." (1 John 3:8) B. The ...read more

    When I first became a part of the family of Christ I was pretty clueless. I had no idea what it meant to be a Christian, I had no idea how to study the Bible, and I didn't really know how to pray.

    When Critics Are Your Best Friend

    Most prophecies today speak to greatness. "You will be a financier of the Kingdom!" "You will have a worldwide ministry!!" Not every prophecy in Scripture was affirming nor was every prophet popular.

    Beware of only listening to those who always affirm your decisions because the majority has often been wrong. Indeed, Jeremiah was outgunned 400-1. Four hundred prophets told the king everything he wanted to hear and prophesied victory. Then along came Jeremiah, who said the four hundred were ...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

    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
