Today’s reading is from Acts 4:1-4. In it Peter and John are arrested because they are talking about Jesus to the people around them. They are so moved by Jesus and who He is and what He has done for them that they can not be quiet about it. And so the religious leaders haveContinue reading “Are you ready to go to jail.”

Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd… Many of us call the pastor of a congregation a shepherd. The pastor is the shepherd of the flock, the one who leads this group where they need to go. The pastor is the one who shows the good water to drink, the good grass to eat, the right timeContinue reading “Shepherd”
Snake handling…
Have you ever been bitten by a poisonous snake? Were you worried about dying? Mark 16:18 says bitten by poisonous snake and drinking poison will not harm you. If you do do this then others can lay hands on you and you will be cured. Interesting. Now I have never seen this, yet I haveContinue reading “Snake handling…”
Mr. Fix It…
Do you know someone who can fix anything? If it breaks you call them and they come and fix it. Like an uncle who would fix everything from plumbing to bats/gloves to bikes and garbage disposals… A friend told me a story about a man who was the fix it person. The family would putContinue reading “Mr. Fix It…”
Praise the Lord!
We all have reasons to not praise the Lord. We do not have to think to hard or to long to come up with reasons to just get mad and angry at everything. It is not hard for us to find reasons to sink into deep depression… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4-iLnDi21k&feature=youtube_gdata_player This is a video for Francesca Battistelli’sContinue reading “Praise the Lord!”

How big must a person be to have people do things for them? People work long and hard to obtainContinue reading “Servant or Lord…”
Why do we read the Bible?
I just finished a book called Reading the Bible For All The Wrong Reasons. It was an interesting book on why we read the Bible and how many of us use the Bible for abuse rather than to build each other up. By abuse we use the Bible to support those things we already believe.Continue reading “Why do we read the Bible?”
Trust in the Lord
In what do you trust? Do you trust in wealth? Do you trust in the amount of money you make and how much you have saved for the future? Is this security? When the dollar keeps falling and banks can close or be robbed? Do you trust in the security of your job? Is thereContinue reading “Trust in the Lord”
What have you read
Today’s gospel lesson has the Sadducees trying to trap Jesus. You see they do not believe in the resurrection of the dead so asking if a man dies and leaves a childless wife then she marries the dead man’s brother and on and on until the all die, so whose wife is she in theContinue reading “What have you read”
