Andy Talks

Today in our morning reflections, we look at Matthew 27:45-54, specifically when the curtain in the Temple is torn.  At that moment, the barrier between the Holy of Holies and the rest of the Temple is destroyed.  At that moment, everyone has access to the Holy of Holies, everyone has access to God.  As I say often, you don't "need" me to have access to God.  Everyone has all the ac...

In our Tuesday morning reflections, we look at what happens after Joshua. We see Judges. In this book, the people cycle from sin to captivity to a leader who follows God to freedom, back to sin, over and over again.  They keep falling into idolatry.   But why?

This week in our morning reflections, Andy will be looking at the books that shaped him and molded him.  Each day he'll be talking about a different book that is important to his life and his faith.  For Andy, the Ragamuffin Gospel may be the important book he's ever read.  This book tells us this.  We are all broken and imperfect, we all fall down, we all mess up, we all make mistakes. ...

This week in our morning reflections, Andy will be looking at the books that shaped him and molded him.  Each day he'll be talking about a different book that is important to his life and his faith.  This book has shaped his understanding of theology probably more so than any other book.  This book lays out the understanding that sin has greatly corrupted all of creation, but the goal and pur...
