Nor Are Your Ways My Ways
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.” Nowhere is this clearer than in Holy Week. How are we to make sense of God's ways in these holy days?
Preaching
Don't Forget to Count
We are always keen to celebrate an unexpected blessing and to rejoice when precious things lost are found. We are also prone to forgetting to count the blessings we have had all along.
Uncleanliness Next to Godliness
There is much in this life to make us uncomfortable. To preserve our comfort, we are inclined to avoid the uncomfortable, to leave it outside our lives and homes, and to forget it where possible. Jesus consistently appears in the places that others find uncomfortable and calls us to follow.
The Cross is Steady
Being a disciple of Jesus means that we will find ourselves in the same places Jesus goes. How are we to survive in the midst of such chaos and storm?
Lead Us Not Into Temptation
Temptation and sin are a tricky business. Their effects last well beyond the encounter with the tempter and prompt us to examine just where our hearts, love, and devotion are placed.
