Jesus says: “Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you willContinue reading “Should God Say “THANK YOU?””

“Every Man for Himself” or “Women and Children First” It’s the middle of the night. There’s a horrific, ungodly noise and everything shudders.  The ship you’re on has just collided with a large rock. Immediately 100 men are drowned in their beds as water pours into the cabins. Precious minutes remain before the ship is entirelyContinue reading “Another Good Story for Lent”

Should I get the Covid Vaccine? Is it morally compromised?  Such are the questions we must ask these days.  But as millions of Americans que up for vaccination, I think it’s worth asking.  The big conundrum is the fact that some vaccines on the market these days either contain or are developed from fetal cellContinue reading “Should I get the Covid Vaccine?

Father, sometimes it seems wrong to throw my fears and complaints your way; as if I’m sinning. There is so much injustice and suffering in the world, and here I can’t seem to go but a few days without the comforts of electricity and running water and I feel like my whole world is fallingContinue reading “A prayer for all those experiencing hardship because of the terrible winter storm:”

With only five days till we launch thirty days of prayer & purpose at St. Paul, I thought I’d share five Bible verses that speak to purpose in the Christian life. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praisesContinue reading “ONLY 5 DAYS”

How do we respond? Physics tells us that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  I believe that, more than ever.  Just consider our nation over the past 10 months or more.  Rioting, looting, murder in the streets… we’ve gotten so used to hearing about it that we often just tune it out.  ItContinue reading “Violence in the Capitol”
