Popcorn

Unfortunately, the recorder failed to record the first half of the service. Fortunately, I had a second service today. Unfortunately, it was at a nursing home with radically different acoustics. Fortunately, the recorder worked properly. Unfortunately, you'll be able to tell where the transition is. Fortunately, it won't make any difference because you love me anyway.

We talked today about how we constantly create messes that we can't clean up, so how is it that God's creation continues in so lovely a fashion, despite our constant bungling? We examine the question through Paul's (and Calvin's) notion of the elect of God. We played out the election of the children of the kingdom within our sanctuary, marking the elect with helium balloons. What kind of disruption would you experience if you went through life with a helium balloon? WOULD you do that, or would you turn from it?

Oh, Really?

Have you ever thought that since we know so much about leptons, baryons and the large Magellanic Cloud, we might have confused what we know with the notion that we know everything? Yeah...me, too, even thought the Large Magellanic Cloud IS pretty neat. Join the congregation of Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, KY while we investigate the limits of what we know in this week's sermon from Genesis 28:10-19a and Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, titled "Oh, Really?" by clicking the title above.

Pulling Over A Cop

William Jennings Bryant announced proudly to Clarence Darrow that he was "captain of his own ship". Darrow responded that he doubted that Bryant was a deckhand on a life raft. Getting pulled over is one of life's experiences that teaches us that our fate is not always in our own hands.
