Blowing the Siren

Nearly half a century ago, I spent two years as a policeman. Being a policeman is the oddest thing in the world, and, oddly enough, it gave me an opportunity, while blowing the siren, to understand the words of Paul in his Epistle to the church at Galacia, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

Come blow the siren with the joint congregations of the Chapel of St. Starbuck's the Jittery and Community Presbyterian Church for this week's sermon, Blowing the Siren, by clicking HERE.

Wise Guy

While thinking on the recent disasters in the West Virginia coal mine and the BP well in the Gulf, Rev. Dr. Lon Oliver said:

“We rightfully celebrate being made in the image of God, but the Biblical witness also reminds us that God is the Creator and that we are not. While I am thankful for our technology, I fear that we are forgetting that there are mysteries that are not within our reach."

I don't speak that elegantly, but I did remind the congregation of the first corollary to Murphy's Law, which is "Murphy was an optimist". Being aware of the difference between what we think we know and what Murphy's Law predicts will happen is the measure of wisdom.

Skating the Gospel

The Incident at Antioch was a dispute between Peter and Paul about a mysterious concept called "justification". How do we become justified in the eyes of God? By what we do? By what we believe?

Clouds

MAN! It's noisy in our world. There is so much going on that sometimes you can't hear yourself think, and we're so good at blocking it out, we can't hear God sometimes. Today's sermon is more of a homily than a sermon; more of a reflection than a teaching.
