Letting the Mask Fall, Ash Wednesday – 2013

February 13, 2013

Christians are hypocrites. That is the word on the street about us, demonstrated in survey after survey. A prime example is a landmark study by the Barna Group, which found 85 percent of young people outside the church surveyed agree that Christianity is hypocritical. Even when they asked only youth who attend church, 47 percent […]

The Kingdom of God…, Advent 1 (C) – 2012

December 02, 2012

“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and waves.” Jesus foretold of horrors so great that people would faint with fear at the end of the world. Over the 2,000 years since Jesus’ ministry, death and […]

Food That Endures, Proper 13 (B) – 2012

August 05, 2012

A deep spiritual hunger is implanted in every human heart. Different people will seek to fill this need in different ways, but the hunger is not unique. People yearn for a deeper connection, an eternal spiritual connection, and when that is lacking will seek any means to be fulfilled. Jesus said he came that we […]

How Far Are You Willing To Go?, Epiphany 6 (B) – 2012

February 12, 2012

What would you be willing to do if your life depended on it? How far would you be willing to go to save yourself? We can never know what we would do when faced with those sorts of life-or-death choices until the moment comes for us to make such a weighty decision. Yet, there are […]

The First Fruits of a New Garden, Easter Day (B) – 2012

April 08, 2012

Mary Magdalene is lost in the grief following her rabbi, Jesus’, death. Then there is the shock of finding the tomb empty. She runs to get Peter and the Beloved Disciple, who see the tomb and return home. Mary remains. She is weeping inconsolably when angels ask her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” In her […]

Mary Sings the Good News, Advent 4 (B) – 2011

December 18, 2011

“He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly.” Mary sings the Good News of the Incarnation to break into our Advent anticipation with a description of the coming Reign of God. In the angel Gabriel’s visit to lowly Mary, and then in Mary’s beautiful hymn of praise, the […]

You Have to be Taught…, Proper 19 (A) – 2011

September 11, 2011

You have to be taught to hate. Little boys do not stitch together their own Klansman robes. Young girls do not look longingly at vests in shop windows with visions of being a suicide bomber. Yes, children will readily turn sticks into swords and guns for their play. But they do not name someone as […]

The Crackle of Dried Palms…, Palm Sunday (A) – 2011

April 17, 2011

The crackle of dried palms crunch under the feet of the crowd. The sound is but a faint crackle lost in the din of angry voices. The meaning of the sound is lost on the mob now shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him! CRUCIFY HIM!” That crackle of dried palm branches covered by the shouts of […]

Where Is the Child?, Christmas 2 – 2011

January 02, 2011

The only goal for the Magi who followed the star to Bethlehem was to find and worship the Christ with all their souls, bodies, and worldly goods. The trek of the wise men as a spiritual journey is captured well by T.S. Elliot’s poem “The Journey of the Magi”: A cold coming we had of […]

Now Is the Turning…, Ascension Day – 2010

May 13, 2010

Now is the turning of the tide. In our readings for this Ascension Day, we encounter an important shift for those who follow Jesus from being turned inward, focusing on their common life and learning at Jesus’ feet, to that same group looking outward to the needs of the world. In this way, the Gospel […]

There Is a Popular Saying…, Proper 13 (C) – 2010

August 01, 2010

There is a popular saying for church signs, “Too Blessed to Be Depressed.” It’s a nice idea, isn’t it? Think about being so blessed by God and knowing it, that you can’t possibly be depressed. That is a wonderful thought. Unfortunately, it’s not scriptural. Very seldom does theology do well condensed to bumper-sticker length. And […]

Infusing Our Lives with Agape, Epiphany 4 (C) – 2010

January 31, 2010

In this morning’s reading from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, we get some of the most beautiful language found anywhere on love. Paul writes: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; […]
