Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, do...

Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like do...

God seals them in. The Biblical pattern of chaos-water-salvation is visible here in the first use of the 'ark' (Moses & Covenant are the other two). Chaos is the corruption, Water continues/completes the corruption, God's covenant completes the world change.

The flood story, read in context with The Creation and the Exodus stories, continue to challenge us to understand the story differently than the way that the world tells those same stories.

May the word of God dwell richly in your life. This is from North Stevens County Ministerial's worship in the Park August 7, 2022.

The image is placed at the center of the temple, which is the belly button of creation and it's connection to heaven.

The stories that we tell ourselves about the shape of our world, shape our ethics.

Three things from the closing of Romans: 1) you have a part, all those introductions are not just niceties (they are niceties, too) they are a grand inclusion of others into the mission and ministry that Christ gave Paul; 2) we are also called to stay on mission and not get led astray; and 3) The mission is that of Christ's work that displays the Lord of Heaven in the world. So roll up your s...

By foundations, I mean specifically the starting point. The basics of faith. This isn't about maturity yet, this is about setting a foundation so that you can become mature from this point forward. The end tells us that we need to take a certain path along the way, The middle foundations tells us how we need to be together, and the starting foundation is recognition that we are not God and th...

Many hear the first part of Romans 14 as, "Jesus Loves...and you're not to judge." But the back half of the same chapter completes the thought with, "Jesus loves you too much to leave you where He found you." It is not about judging–it is about living into the future that God has/is making for us. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive...
