The Temple of God

How many times have you been reading the scripture that you have read multiple times and all of the sudden a particular verse jumps out at you? As I was reading in 1 Corinthians the third chapter, all of a sudden, the 16th and 17th verses caught my attention.  What does it mean we are the temple of God? I have read this passage many times over the years and never thought much about it, but this time it grabbed…

God is Light & Love

1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Why do bad things happen to good people? – Suffering with Jonah, Job, and Jesus

The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. Romans 8:16–17 I’m sure we all know someone whose life circumstances just don’t seem fair.  We might say, “they’re such a good person.  Why do things like this happen to such good people?”  Even within our own congregation, I can think of…

The Practice of Personal Devotion

Psalm 119: 147-149 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words. My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, That I may meditate on your promise. Hear my voice according to your steadfast love; O Lord, according to your justice give me life. As a young man I heard over and over again the value and benefit of spending time with God. I was the oldest of seven children; Our house was busy…

The Upside-Down Kingdom

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth…” (Matthew 5:1-5 NIV) Yesterday, I received my first “Happy New Year” card for 2024. My friend who sent the card filled…

Looking Forward to a Better Way of Living

We are almost to a New Year.  It is exciting to be looking forward to 2024. Before we leave this Christmas Season, I have a new thought for each of us to consider.  My text is Matthew 2:1-6 You are familiar with the story.  It is the story of the birth of Jesus.  The Magi came from the east and stopped in Jerusalem to visit King Herod.  They asked the King where the King of the Jews was born.   Most…
