Change

It's really odd to suggest that the "happiest time of the year" is one of conflict, but it is the truth. The conflict is between our well-loved traditions and the church's understanding of Advent as a time of repentance and reflection, preparing for the Second Coming.

The Jesus Problem

Postmodernism doesn't really believe in the idea of "truth". We believe very strongly in the idea of "opinion" and will fight to the point of absurdity to permit everyone, no matter how loopy, to express his opinion, but "truth" implies commitment, and we're a little commitment shy. Surprisingly, 2000 years ago, Pilate lived in a world which mistrusted truth as well.

It's Awful!

I weep for the people of Paris and for all of us for a shroud of evil has come over our world not seen since the time of the Nazis. How are we to respond to this newest challenge without becoming evil ourselves? People of faith are called to answer that question, and we had best be prepared by listening to the words of Scripture.

Granny's Quilt

A friend of mine has a wonderful bumper sticker that reads:

DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK

One of the things an awful lot of the people I speak with think, and thus believe, is that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about heaven when you die. It is my impression that the Gospel is about restoration of the earth and the peoples upon it, removing a shroud of evil which is smothering it and them.
