In the Meantime
Third Sunday after Pentecost (B); June 17, 2012; 2 Corinthians 5:6-17
Her Best Bet
God always has been in the business of using the most unlikely people and circumstances to accomplish His purposes.
While Yet They Breathed
Admittedly, a comic book isn't the first place to go looking for spiritual truth, but truth can jump out at us from anywhere.
From Tired To Inspired
Somebody once told me the crucial question for ministers was not "Am I tired in the work?" but "Am I tired of the work?"
One Story (Eph. 2:1-10)
I believe the stories we make up are shadows of the Greatest Story Ever Told.
The Challenge of Faith (Gen. 22:1-5)
Faith is a challenge. God never asks for that which means little to us. Invariably, it's something we've worked hard for or waited a long time for; something-or someone-we're thoroughly invested in. Not only that, it's something God Himself has given us. According to this sermon on faith, it is only when we understand that God, the Giver, can be thoroughly trusted, that we are freed to give back to him.
Badge of Law and Grace
Why should we honor the police? Because they teach us a little about the law we've all broken and the grace we all can receive.
Lectures in Preaching
If I didn't believe that the Holy Spirit worked through preaching, not just saying what God wants said, but mysteriously invoking the presence of God, I'd quit preaching and go write comic books.
