Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word. We are all familiar with this story. Gabriel comes to Mary and tells her that she is going to have a child, and the child will be the Son of God. Her response is “Here am I, theContinue reading “Here am I…”

Tradition…
They profess to know God, but they deny him by their actions. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work. Here Paul is talking to Titus about the Jewish people who are saying that Christians must be circumcised before they can be Christians. That old ways and things once thought to be important needContinue reading “Tradition…”
Where are you?
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…”

Guests…
Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour. Have you ever had a guest coming and you did not know when they would arrive? You make sure the room is ready and that you have stuff available to make a meal, you can’t cook anything becauseContinue reading “Guests…”
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”
