Go Fly a Kite

Sometimes, in discussions with folks around the Chapel of St. Starbuck's, I get the feeling that there is a reluctance to reach beyond the early teachings we received in the church as children to a more mature relationship with God. I think of the early teaching we received as the tail of the kite and the breath of God as the breeze that blows us skyward.

TEMPTATION

My experience in the courts was that nobody sets out to do evil. They set out to do something reasonable, even important, but then, somehow, it goes awry. This Sunday, I'm using the language of demons and devils to talk about temptation. Satan doesn't tempt us to burn nine-year old girls. Satan convinces us that it is an important thing to save a foreign country from Communism, then teaches us to refer to nine-year-old girls as "collateral damage".

Kingdom Eyes

Three hundred years before Christ, if not longer, the battle was joined between those who believed that their own senses revealed to them everything knowable about the world, and those who believed that it was possible to make connection with the unseen reality of the world. The debate has not shown any sign of diminishing in the intervening eons, so I doubt that we will put it to rest today. Nonetheless, did you know that the gravels that skinned your knee on the playground were mostly empty space, as was your knee, come to that?

Us and Them

Every time my faith wavers, this church astonishes me. Many emails and phone calls were made last night because of the snow, and because we had Boy Scout Sunday, Communion AND Super Bowl Sunday scheduled. The attendance predictions were pretty pessimistic.

Full house. Go figger! I am so blessed.

While I get over my celebration of the remarkable people I have come to so love, why don't you take a minute to join them in our debate over immigration reform by clicking HERE for audio or HERE for text?
