I know that someone is wondering why a preacher would need help with something as basic as this. Well as with much in life, sometimes you need to find a new way to tel

I don’t often preach more than one text, but this week I can’t resist: I’ve been reading Barbara Brown Taylor’s An Altar in the World , and she has a lovely chapter on ‘getting lost,’ so I’m pondering how much we made need to be more lost than we usually are. In the Gospel a few weeks ago Jesus was in his hometown, among people who thought they knew all too well who he was.

(My family were/are Southern Baptists** and most of the church-going populace—which was most of the populace—belonged to more the conservative denominations.) As a result, they tend to be (in my opinion) far less hypocritical on what are supposedly “vice” issues that have no real basis in morality or ethics (i.e, swearing is sinful

In most parts of the world, including the North Pole, Christmas comes but once a year. But in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua, the Christmas trees along the downtown streets are lit festively every night of the year – even in July. The nightly ritual of lighting the trees (in this case, metal poles decorated with strings of lights and various other ornaments) serves as an eternal celebration of the Sandinista government’s victory over the energy deficit inherited from the previous administrati

There are turning points in the pages of history; times when decisions are made, actions are taken or things are said which mark the end of one chapter and the beginning on another. Matthew 16 marks such a turning point in the life of Jesus as He takes His disciples to the remote region near the city of Caesarea Philippi, and asks them what appears to be a relatively simple question, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” (16:13).Some of the disciples say John the Baptist, others say Elijah

The First Way to Perfection, Which is the Renunciation of Temporal Things Among temporal goods the first we should renounce are external goods, which are called riches, [This renunciation is first , not in the sense of most important, but rather, in the order from imperfect to perfect. It is a basic starting point.] and the Lord counseled this when he said, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” (Matt. 19:21).
