  • Spy Wednesday

    Spy Wednesday



    Putting stuff before people, we do it all the time!


    And not just money and possessions, but political opinions, ethnic pride, and financial status. It can divide us, and keeps us from connecting like we should, with the people we should, to follow the example we should!

    Spy Wednesday, Holy Week's Hump Day, points to Judas and you and me and the ways we make regretful decisions that sacrifice relationships, which are the greatest well of happiness humans have!

    Holy Wednesday invites you and me to take the high road, like Jesus, and to let God get mad, let God get even. Amidst that betrayal, Jesus still loved Judas, he put the relationship above all else, because when we love our neighbor, especially our enemy, we love God. 

    How will we love our enemies today, like Jesus?

  • Life After Church

    Life After Church

     

    Our best life often comes after a lot of little deaths...

    When we have found a way to put to death our selfishness, gluttony, laziness, apathy, lack of belief in ourselves, we often discover what remains:

    It's who we are at our essence, the God-breathed image of God, alive to peace, joy, harmony, courage, and hope.

    Yet for these to emerge, we must actively put to death their opponents.

    When Jesus talked about a seed falling to the ground, to its death, in order for abundant new life to emerge, we can take this as a challenge to confront the negative forces that keep us down, knowing that when these are vanquished, newness and new life emerge!

    What does this look like for you?

    Don't be afraid of death! In the midst, is your new life!
