Whether it is the dogs laying on my legs, Augie getting super excited at seeing Pikachu during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, or you, my Facebook friend…I am reminded I have so much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and may the Lord, who most deserves our thanks, bless you this…
Digital World We live in a digital world, don’t we? What does that mean to you? What does it mean to live in a “digital world”? Heading to my Mac’s trusty dictionary (as I often do), its first definition of digital is: (of signals or data) expressed as series of the digits 0 and 1,…
The Internet provides many blessing, but it also comes with destructive curses. One of its banes is the ease by which it allows damning accusations to proliferate. Most common today are charges of “isms” and their equivalents, e.g. racism, sexism, and nativism. I’d like to propose some understandings when it comes to accusations in general, but…
Lazarus Let’s jump right into Scripture today. Well, first a bit of background. Jesus’ good friend Lazarus dies while Jesus is away. Jesus gets the news and stays another two days. There is no question. Lazarus is dead. Fully, truly dead.
Last Sunday… Last Sunday Damien came over after church, and he, Augie, and I were chatting at the kitchen table. I cannot remember if I specifically asked what they would like me to preach on, but, regardless, the two boys ended up telling me they’d like one on angels. And this sermon is a result…
Can’t Win at… Do you ever feel that you just can’t win? That no matter what you do, someone is going to be unhappy? Michelle is familiar with a few of these stories, but I’ve felt that way quite a bit at work. Not with my boss specifically, but as an example…early this year one…
Last Week Stopped Short of the Full Story Last week, in my sermon “Like a Feather,” we discussed how Jesus’ yoke is easy and His burden is light. How salvation itself is “easy.” Just believe…have faith…in Jesus. So simple it is hard to accept. But true. However, we had to stop there or my sermon…
Light as a Feather Overloaded Do you feel overloaded by life? That there is too much expected out of you by your boss? That there is too much expected out of you by your friends? That there is too much expected out of you by your family? That there is too much expected out of…
Don’t Worry IRS When this sermon’s notes go up on the web, if the IRS has a bots that searching for “misbehaving” ministers, then this should set off its alarms since it is titled, “How You Should Vote in 2016.” However, they…and you…don’t have to worry. I am not going to put our tax deductible…
I ran into a really interesting article tonight thanks to Instapundit about “How Roman Central Planners Destroyed Their Economy.” Although not all enacted by today’s progressives in the United States (yet)…it does seem like Romans created a progressive’s playbook. (Just read the article…think Venezuala…you’ll understand.) Strangling, escalating, damaging control of people and markets. What got…
Three of Two 🙂 Last week I started my talk by saying it was the second of a pair of sermons for kids. Basically two of two. This week is three of two. 🙂 The reason we are going to have a third sermon aimed at children is because my heart was drawn to Noah…
Two of Two This is the second in a pair of sermons…and as with last week…kids I want you to pay special attention…as they said in the military, “Eyes front!” 🙂 Do you remember the name of last week’s talk? That’s right, “Augie’s Sermon on the Cross,” where we learned why Jesus had to die….
Choosing a Sermon Topic Kids…as best as you can…this week I need you to pay attention. No, I won’t make you put everything away…but you’ll shortly understand why this week and next you shouldn’t tune me out. So… Do I have your attention?! I said… Do I have your attention?! 🙂 Early this week I…
Previously… I call this sermon “Time in a Bottle (Redux)” because, back on October 3 of 2010, I did a sermon called “Time in a Bottle.” The title of both talks is based on Jim Croce’s classic love song of the same name…well, minus “Redux” in this one :-)… The first time I started it…
