As we wait we are to be found without spot or blemish. How are we to be found without spot or blemish? That means we are to be perfect in everything we do, not succumbing to sin, or allowing ourselves to do things for personal gain, and always looking out for the other and lovingContinue reading “Without spot or blemish…”

Waiting?
How long do we like to wait? Today we do not know what it means to be patient anymore. I mean we have easy mac and cheese. Really? How hard is it to put some water in a pan, and put it on the stove and boil the water to add the macaroni and thenContinue reading “Waiting?”
A house of thieves…
What is God’s house to you? The gathering of the body is something we are told to do, and in doing that we say we go to church… Well I try hard with my wife to tell our daughters we are going to worship, because we are the church. “I am the church, you areContinue reading “A house of thieves…”
What do you need?
What do you need? Today’s gospel lesson might seem a little on the odd side to be reading during Advent. It is the gospel lesson most of us associate with Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter – the beginning of Holy week. I however find this to be a most appropriate lesson for us toContinue reading “What do you need?”
Season of Hope…
Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. Advent is the season of Hope and expectation. This is the time we wait for the coming birth of our Messiah, where we ponder the world around us and how might God makeContinue reading “Season of Hope…”
Nice…
What does it mean to be nice? We were taught as children, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” Is this really the way we are suppose to be a Christians though? Nice is a word that we have come to understand means to be kind, polite, non confrontational. However isContinue reading “Nice…”
Interesting Quote I found today…
“The fact is that the cross isn’t a form of cosmic child abuse – a vengeful Father, punishing his Son for an offence he has not even committed. Understandably, both people inside and outside of the Church have found this twisted version of events morally dubious and a huge barrier to faith. Deeper than that,Continue reading “Interesting Quote I found today…”
Look Right…
My devotion for this morning was on Romans 4:13-25. Here Paul is writing to the church(es) in Roman. He is writing to Christians that comes from a Jewish background and a Greek background. They have entered into this religion from many various places and so their history (as all of our history) plays upon their understanding of their religion,Continue reading “Look Right…”
Come and See
“Come and see,” Jesus said to the disciples of John who came after him. Come and see. A physical invitation and yet so much more. How many of us get caught up in the physical aspect of the actual written word, so much that we miss the meaning behind it? I read a great devotionContinue reading “Come and See”
Lent – Time for Some Cleaning!
For some winter is still a reality. It is cold and damp and snowy maybe, so to think about Spring cleaning is not for now. I mean we still have 2 weeks until Spring, and then it may not be worm enough to do cleaning. But today is Ash Wednesday. To day is the beginningContinue reading “Lent – Time for Some Cleaning!”
