Punkin Vine

I'm going to get letters. Angry letters. Hurt letters. I'm going to get letters because of this sermon. I'm sorry if it makes you mad or hurt, but remember what does your God require of you but to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God? Oh! And don't throw things at me!

Entitlement

I was speaking with a lady at the hospital the other day. She said she was a Baptist and jokingly asked if that was all right.  The other lady with us, who was not a Baptist, replied, "They're all the same. Do the right thing and you get to go to heaven."

REALLY??? So...it's like a contract, then? (fist bump) done deal, God? Do the right thing and God is bound to pay off.

Getting Even

When we were kids, questions of right and wrong were presented to us in simplistic terms that kids could understand. It was right to treat elders with respect and to help your smaller siblings. It was wrong to throw your pureed carrots on the wall and throw a hissy fit.

Adults soon learn that right and wrong are seldom that clear. In any violent conflict, there will be equities on both sides. So, if both sides have credible claim to having been injured by the other, the only one who could blame them for getting even is the one who rejected the entire concept of getting even.

The Devil's Worship Space

As we watch the Middle East collapse into brutal violence, there are calls for the use of American military force to quiet the violence. Jesus once asked how the devil could cast out the devil. We might ask the same question of our certainty that violence and destruction can be cast out by violence and destruction.
