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?”

The Amazing Mobius Strip
Could this be an example of the body of Christ? A strip of paper that is only one sided, and if you try to cut it in half, you don’t get 2 of them, you get a longer one sided paper with a little more twist… And if you try again to get two ofContinue reading “The Amazing Mobius Strip”
Four Way Test
Rotary Four Way Test, a good thing to use in your daily life… Amazing how a secular group can come up with a great way for Christians to live!
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…”
