Contemporary people seem to carry a great mistrust of authority, and that extends to the church organizations. We're seeing the rise of congregations unaffiliated with any denominational understanding. Maybe that's good. Maybe it's not. Conflicts with understandings of the Gospel go back a long way.

The Bridge Inspector
What sort of world do you believe you live within? Is it a deterministic world devoid of meaning unless human effort imposes meaning, or a world with a structure that guides the human soul? It's an important question, for your answer to it will blind you to any evidence to the contrary.

The Gift
A spectacular "found sermon" from the wonderful folks at RadioLab WNYC whose kind permission to use their story forms the heart of this story of the intervention of the Holy Spirit empowering a father to do what no human father could do on his own. I am humbled by the story of Hector Black and I hope you will be blessed by it. Because there is so much audio in it, it was not possible to have a text version.

The Spirit of the Times
God never asks you do undertake that which you cannot do. God does require of you that you do what you can do. Are you doing it?

Signs
I think everyone of a certain age remembers the pop tune "Signs" from 1970.
Signs, signs, everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind.
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Many people look to religion for a clearly set-out group of signs governing behavior, and there is room for such a thing, but it's not the greater part of a religious life. Jesus kept doing things that drove the religious people of his time crazy.
