the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” Has God ever asked you “Where are you?” I’ve heard that before. When we think we can hide from God, just as Adam and Eve thought they could hide from God in the Garden of Eden. First we have to askContinue reading “Where are you?”

The Least of These…
I was hungry then, did you give me food to eat. When I was cold and tired did you give me a warm place to sleep? When life had knocked me down did you help me to my feet? What you’ve done for the least of these, you’ve done for me… This is the chorusContinue reading “The Least of These…”
I was afraid…
Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours. I was afraid so I said nothing, and you thought I agreedContinue reading “I was afraid…”

Season of Hope?
Advent is the season of Hope… As I read the gospel passage for the day, I really have a hard time seeing or hearing the hope. I see the desolating sacrilege standing in the holy place and think it is time to flee. Let’s hope that it is not winter (uh oh!) and that itContinue reading “Season of Hope?”
Eternal Life
Where does eternal life come from? Where do we obtain glory? Is eternal life something we can earn? And thus keep a set of rules, or a code and do the right things and thus work our way into heaven? Most of us will say, “by no means.” We know that we are saved byContinue reading “Eternal Life”
Good News…
And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come. Good news?!?! We will have to endure all kinds of hardship and being turned over to the authorities and questioned and reviled because of Jesus. We will be hatedContinue reading “Good News…”
