To Be Announced

If you ever want to start a heated discussion, raise the question of when and how the end times will come about, get some popcorn and a comfortable chair, sit back and watch the show. No matter how many times Christians are told that speculations about the end time are none of their business, we persist.

Shifting the Shekels

The Bible as a whole is pretty rough on rich people. That's hard for Americans to hear because we live in a time and place of insane riches. It is said that the table wine at the Palace of Versailles often froze in the glasses. By contrast, we can change the temperature in the bedroom with a smartphone without leaving the couch.

In My Opinion

Here's something to trouble yourself with. Has our American commitment to the freedom of worship operated on our minds in such a way that the religious faith of millions of people is now viewed as "just a matter of personal opinion"? Have we become people who say "The Lord can do no good, and will do no harm"?

Nonsense!

People of a religious turn of mind often speak of "the ways of the world" by which, I have noticed, they often mean "things other people do". That won't do. It won't do at all. What we call "the ways of the world" are also known as a "worldview", and my 18 month old grand daughter is learning the worldview of the society into which she was born. She has to, if she is to communicate and live with people who surround her, but she also needs to be sceptical of the things her worldview teaches her, because there is much nonsense in it.

The Echo Chamber

Anyone with a passing familiarity with Facebook and the other social media sites is aware that we tend to pick sites that agree with what we want to believe, and to exclude voices that disagree. That's human nature for you. We are most comfortable living in an echo chamber that affirms than we are living with a demand to transform.  Join the congregation of Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Ky. for this week's sermon, The Echo Chamber by clicking HERE for audio or HERE for text.
