Would Jesus Use Facebook?

Posted on February 2, 2011February 3, 2011 by Alan

As an avid user of Facebook it would seem especially important for me to answer this article’s title. However, I’ll admit that I never slowed down enough to ask myself its question; instead it only came to mind when a friend (in a Facebook message) mentioned that "since joining Facebook [she has] often wondered if…

Going Down in a Blaze of Glory

Posted on January 30, 2011February 10, 2011 by Alan

Text messages How many of you use your cell phones for text messaging? Do you text a lot? A little? Do you get any automatic text messages? For instance, do you…like me…get the weather every day on your handset? For instance today… [ Read them this morning’s forecast. ] Along with the weather at 8:30…

“For Those Who Will Believe”

Posted on January 23, 2011January 24, 2011 by Alan

Expository preaching Last week I said that I was preaching my first…and perhaps last…expository sermon. As anyone who has listened to me know, I am more of a topical speaker…although one who attempts to make sure it is Scripture that is speaking about the subject, not me. As fate would have it, however, this sermon…

You Are Not Alone

Posted on January 21, 2011February 2, 2011 by Alan

Earlier this week I got a Facebook suggestion from Diane Kendall to "like" the Facebook page of an organization called YANA1. For those not familiar with Diane, she is half of the John and Diane Kendall husband-and-wife team that is such a significant and welcome part of the Antrim community, including owning one of my…

Do You Have the Time?

Posted on January 16, 2011January 16, 2011 by Alan

Preaching Styles Who is your favorite preacher? No…I won’t take it personally if it’s not me! 🙂 But, who is your favorite preacher? Now, why? What appeals to you about his (or her) approach? Is it because you are big on theology, and they dig deep into the word, even leveraging their immense knowledge of…

The Hand of God

Posted on January 2, 2011December 15, 2013 by Alan

A Father’s Hand In this week’s bulletin article, "A Father’s Hand," I compared my holding Augie’s hand to how our heavenly Father holds ours. I won’t regurgitate all of it now…but before I wrote that I used my Logos Bible Software 4 to look up every occurrence of the word "hand" in the English Standard…

A Father’s Hand

Posted on January 1, 2011January 8, 2011 by Alan

More often then not, when I run errands close to home I am joined by a most affable companion. For instance, if I ask Augie if he would like to go to T-Bird I am guaranteed a hearty "Yes please!" At this point whenever he sees me throwing on shoes and the like, he assumes…

Symphony of Christ, 4th Movement: The Culmination

Posted on December 19, 2010December 24, 2016 by Alan

Recap We are now through three of the Symphony of Christ’s four movements… The Promise In the first we saw the creation of the heavens and the earth; our original parents almost immediately blow it by losing trust in God; and our Lord…instead of giving us the destruction we deserved…giving a promise of a Messiah…

“Jesus loves me (but not you), this I know…” (Part 2)

Posted on December 18, 2010January 1, 2011 by Alan

Part one of this discussion quoted a tweet from Steve, a famous Christian artist who is now also a pastor in Florida. In response to my question whether God loves everyone, this brother in Christ responded that God does not saying, "His love, as is His grace, is salvific & not common." The first half…

“Jesus loves me (but not you), this I know…” (Part 1)

Posted on December 15, 2010June 23, 2012 by Alan

I think most English-speaking Christians are familiar with the children’s song “Jesus Loves Me,” which begins with the words, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” I’ve appreciated the fact that within our little congregation we don’t consider it unworthy of adult attention, and hymn 1014 in Songs of Faith…

Symphony of Christ, 3rd Movement: The Incarnation

Posted on December 12, 2010January 12, 2011 by Alan

We’ve now come to the third movement in the Symphony of Christ, but before the musicians start playing let’s quickly review what we heard in the first two movements… Movement 1, "The Promise" Our first movement, "The Promise," exploded at the beginning—as we were treated to the creation of the heavens and the earth…followed by…

Symphony of Christ, 2nd Movement: The Anticipation

Posted on December 5, 2010January 12, 2011 by Alan

Remembering the Promise The first movement of the Symphony of Christ started off magnificently—with the creation of the heavens and the earth ex nihilo—out of nothing—followed by a huge angelic celebration! Then we heard a melody of innocence in the Garden, but with a foreboding background tune played by a serpent and one third of…

Remembering a Friend of God

Posted on November 30, 2010December 15, 2010 by Alan

November 29, 2010 Today I wondered how the early Christians reacted to the news of Paul’s passing. How about those closest to him—the ones who were his partners in the gospel? Did the Philippians remember Paul’s letter to them—how he desired to "depart and be with Christ" (Philippians 1:23, ESV)—and then celebrate the fact he…

Symphony of Christ, 1st Movement: The Promise

Posted on November 28, 2010January 12, 2011 by Alan

Advent Not being a liturgical denomination (or a denomination for that matter), it would be easy for us to miss that today is the first Sunday of Advent. Although I was baptized into the Methodist church at the age of two (a compromise between my Lutheran mother and Catholic father), I stopped attending when given…

Bekah, Thanksgiving, and Judgment in a Triad

Posted on November 21, 2010December 15, 2010 by Alan

Bekah As many of you know, this past Tuesday, November 16 would have been Bekah’s 17th birthday. The milestone was a reminder of the loss we all felt that evil Saturday morning in early May. And yes…I did call it an "evil morning"–God never intended that death would enter this world–that it would take a…
