even the depths of God

When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not withContinue reading “even the depths of God”

God’s Holiness…

This is a depiction of a Cherubim… Does this look like an angel to you? The scene in Revelation 4 depicts 4 living creatures on each side of the throne. They have eyes all over them, on the front and their back. They have 6 wings, and eyes all over them… Does this look likeContinue reading “God’s Holiness…”

Trinity…

This is an icon of the Holy Trinity that I have fallen in love with. It is so beautifully depicted and shows us the reason behind the Trinity. On this Holy Trinity Sunday we talk about one of the doctrines of the church that we do not understand or comprehend. We try to explain the Trinity throughContinue reading “Trinity…”

If the world hates you

Have you ever been hated? Have you ever hated anyone? I was told once in a bible study I was leading that hate is a very harsh word, and as Christians how could we ever hate anyone… Well I hated someone. They had wronged me and my family, and they did things that I neverContinue reading “If the world hates you”

for those who are in Christ Jesus

“There is therefore now no condemnation” are comforting words used by Paul to start the 8th chapter of the epistle to the Roman’s… They are comforting.  Now there is no condemnation.  There is no condemning of us any more. But hold on there is a catch the no condemnation is only for those who are in ChristContinue reading “for those who are in Christ Jesus”

so I send you…

John 20 19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side.Continue reading “so I send you…”

Body parts…

Today’s lectionary reading continues the passage from 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul tells the Corinthians about the gifts we are given and how we are knit together. No one is any more important than the other. “and those members of the body that we think less honourable we clothe with greater honour, and our lessContinue reading “Body parts…”

Gifts…

I watched the first Tinkerbell movie last night with my girls… I was struck by the opening seen where Tinkerbell has to find her gift, what her talent is. She looks at the people and judges them by appearance and walks past the hammer which is for the tinker fairies… She does not want thisContinue reading “Gifts…”

Dry Bones Past 2… (A different take)

A wonderful song that I forgot about but just heard again… May we all be filled with the Spirit Wind!
