Are you foolish?
The Baptist minister that has a thirty-minute broadcast on the local television station on Sunday mornings focused this Sunday on Galatians 3:3, which has Paul asking, “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”

Thank you for your service?
Remembering war deaths is not reason to celebrate. According to the Wikipedia article entitle “ World War II casualties ”: “Deaths directly caused by the war (including military and civilian fatalities) are estimated at 50–56 million, with an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from war- related disease and famine. Civilian deaths totaled 50–55 million. Military deaths from all causes totaled 21–25 million, including deaths in captivity of about 5 million prisone

Elijah and the priests of Baal, most relevant today
In 1 Kings 18:25-29 we read: “25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name elohekem [of your god], but do not light the fire.” 26 So they took the bull given them and prepared it. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. “Baal, answer us!” they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made. 27 At noon Elij

Following Jesus or running him out of town?
I watched a Baptist minister read various verses from the New Testament this morning. As scattered in focus as they were, I believe his point was relative to coming to the realization that following Jesus was not a questionable matter. One is “either all in or all out.”

Mark 9:38-41 - Unofficial students not registered in the Jesus School for Disciples
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 Whoever is not against us is for us. 41 For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.

The Anti-Pentecost
On the heels of Pentecost Sunday, when we remember how Peter stood with the eleven and spoke with a divinely raised voice and three thousand souls of Jewish seekers of Yahweh, whose hearts were open to the Holy Spirit, were filled with God’s presence and added to the twelve in number … we see the opposite has befallen America [the United States portion]. Satan raised up the voices of those whose hearts are open only to the destruction of a nation, so they could delight in sh

John 17:6-19 – They are not of the world
On Sunday May 13, I attended a Bible studies (lectionary) class at church, which was led by the priest who officiated that day. He did sermons at two services, one addressing the Acts reading for the seventh Sunday after Easter and the other addressing the Psalm 1 reading. He did not bother to address the 1 John reading or the Gospel selection from John 17, where Jesus prayed for his disciples.

The Messiah, the Son of the living God
Matthew 16:13-20 When Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this

A House Divided
In 1858, as the last of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Abraham Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind sh

Who has believed the words of prophets?
In my study of the lessons coming up for the Fifth Sunday of Easter, I was led to read what the Ethiopian eunuch was reading, when he encountered Philip in the wilderness, who offered to explain how Isaiah was prophesying the coming of Jesus. While that certainly was the case, has the prophecy turned old, stale, and dropped from the living vine, like a dead branch? Or, does it continue to live, just as Jesus continued to live in the Apostles … like Philip. Read this with a

Why are Millennials leaving the Church?
Over the past few weeks I have seen blog shares on Facebook which focus on the “issue” of Millennials leaving the Church and them being unimpressed with any of the efforts by Church leaders to bring them back. The common theme in these posting has been to list the “Top 10” reasons why this phenomena occurs, or why none of the efforts to stem this tide are working.

Thirty pieces of silver
Something struck me today as I was thinking about Judas selling out Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. All of a sudden it dawned on me that I live in world full of Judas’, only the price for selling out has certainly gone up since then. It made me start to draw a parallel between the hatred the name Judas has attracted over the years, making me want to see if calling present day soul sellers warranted them being called that.
