    Why Paul Preached The Gospel

    Paul said, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." This not only speaks to ministers, but confronts the laity of their responsibility to share the good news.

    I want to spend a few minutes tonight looking at this verse, even dissecting it a little bit, to bring it into an applicable understanding for all of us. Because when we read words like “preach,” and we do not have a life calling to stand in a pulpit like myself, we can sometimes shrink back ...read more

    Should the church dissolve since our president has declared that we are not a Christian nation? The numbers of people claiming to be Christians has dropped dramatically. The question is, is the cross still relevant in this post-Christian world?

     | 77 views

    This takes us to the central Scripture of this Sunday, the beautiful and even humorous tale of Zaccheus, the renegade Jew. I call him “renegade” because only such a person would collect taxes for the despised Roman occupiers of the Jewish homeland.

    Thirty-first Sunday Integral 2025 (yr C) The book of Wisdom, which we have heard recently, is a late OT writing that is preserved in Greek rather than Hebrew. Its theology is very advanced. Here the writer addresses God poetically as creator, ruler and master of wisdom: “Before the LORD the whole ...read more

    We must be consistent in our lives as believers.

    I had a teacher in undergraduate school who used to quote Shakespeare and say, “O consistency thou art a jewel. O Inconsistency thou art a reality.” Shakespeare and my teacher hit on insightful truths. One is that being consistent is a rare and valuable commodity, and the other is that we are ...read more
