Good Morning Friends, There are rules all around us if we belong to any religious institution or community. Sometimes we agree with the rules and other times we do not. Sometimes the rules make sense to us, and at times we think they are absurd. In the Bible there are 613 Jewish laws. If you … Continue reading How Do We Fight Evil Now?

Are We Climbing The Right Mountain And Are We Training Fishermen With The Right Gear?
Good Morning Friends, The letter to the Hebrews reads a lot like a sermon series. And, in chapter 12, we see a message in the Old Testament narrative where Moses came down the mountain with the Ten Commandments. The early Hebrew tribes were so frightened by the events that they asked Moses to pray that … Continue reading Are We Climbing The Right Mountain And Are We Training Fishermen With The Right Gear?
Has Your Faith, Meditations, Bible Study, And Prayers Sung Set You Free?
Good Morning Friends, Well, the anthem, “Praise His Holy Name,” our choir at Moorings Presbyterian Church sang yesterday was difficult but it came together and was well received. It hopefully will be on our YouTube channel in a week or so or you can go to the Moorings Presbyterian Church Website and view the … Continue reading Has Your Faith, Meditations, Bible Study, And Prayers Sung Set You Free?
Are We Telling People Including Ourselves, To Not Lose Heart Because Christ’s Covenant Of Love Is The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever?
Good Morning Friends, I read recently that 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day. By 2030 they will all be 65 or older. Yes, I am one of them and when I was a teenager, we were part of a music revolution. All Boomers were. However, as we get older, things change. Kids today are … Continue reading Are We Telling People Including Ourselves, To Not Lose Heart Because Christ’s Covenant Of Love Is The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever?
Is Your Light Shining The Way Home For Others?
Good Morning Friends, In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said that we were light, unfortunately too many of us do not like to share it properly. When Christ died on the cross it was as if part of him was placed in us as a light that if combined with others and focused would … Continue reading Is Your Light Shining The Way Home For Others?
Can We Unlearn The Things That Keep Us From God’s Peace In The Mind Of Christ?
Good Morning Friends, Today’s reading suggests to us that, before Christ, the laws required the regular sacrificing of animals to atone for our sins. It all seems rather foreign to us today and frankly how this was practiced 2000 years ago I doubt was pleasing to God even way back then. And I think this … Continue reading Can We Unlearn The Things That Keep Us From God’s Peace In The Mind Of Christ?
Are You Prepared To Follow Jesus From The Perspective Of An Alien And Claim A Place In The Kingdom United?
Good Morning Friends, You would think we would know the difference between good and bad and generally I think this is true but then on occasion we are fooled into thinking one is the other. Such trickery has always been at the center of the Devil’s strategy. Even having the law falls short. So, … Continue reading Are You Prepared To Follow Jesus From The Perspective Of An Alien And Claim A Place In The Kingdom United?
How Do We Build The Body Powered By Christ Like Humility?
Good Morning Friends, I do not know about you but since the first of the year I have been receiving mail and emails and online ads prompting me to join a gym and try out new exercise strategies to strengthen my health and flexibility. The internet apparently has a bias on what is best for … Continue reading How Do We Build The Body Powered By Christ Like Humility?
If Jesus Is Your Prophet, Priest and King, Is He Also Your Sabbath Rest?
Good Morning Friends, That we all have the rhythms of a seven-day week is truly amazing for it is not something that is justified by the moon or the sun precisely, although the four phases of the moon roughly correspond to seven days. For the believer, we need to consider the Sabbath, and Hebrew … Continue reading If Jesus Is Your Prophet, Priest and King, Is He Also Your Sabbath Rest?
Do We Have A Peaceful Heart For God’s Dreams Of Justice To Be Our Own?
Good Morning Friends, Today is Martin Luther King Day and we celebrate his birth, not his death back in April of 1968. And even though it took twenty years after Reverend King’s death for him to be recognized in this way, and the reality that much of what he had hoped for has not fully … Continue reading Do We Have A Peaceful Heart For God’s Dreams Of Justice To Be Our Own?
