Philippians 4:1-13
|

Pentecost +22 – Year APhilippians 4:1-13I'm intrigued with verse 5 – "let your gentleness be known" (NRSV)John Wesley's Notes indicate: " Yieldingness, sweetness of temper, the result of joy in the Lord."

Pentecost +22 – Year APsalm 106:1-6, 19-23An unsung superhero: The Deflector.In the presence of a gap between the powerful and the un-powerful, the privileged and the un-privileged, and the holy and the un-holy, The Deflector simply stands.This seemingly inconsequential act of standing does make a significant difference.

Pentecost +22 – Year AExodus 32:1-14G*D had a second thought that caused a change in G*D. Hooray!

Matthew 22:1-14
|

Pentecost +22 – Year AMatthew 22:1-14Might we be looking at a different kind of parable here – one that rehearses a bit of history? Imagine a stained glass kind of re-telling of Creation, Eden/Babel, Flood, Exodus, Exile by one understood to be a prophet who is raising an important question.The presence of G*D may be compared to Creation. Is... more »

Pentecost +21 – Year APhilippians 3:4b-11Again the issue of authority. What do we claim as our grounding? Is it time to take another look at it? As I wrestle with a vocational call to keep a pastoral authority going or hearkening to a cultural call of retirement (yes I made it to the magic age of 65 last week – just 5 years left on my biblical... more »

Pentecost +21 – Year AExodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20So how would you redact this version of 10 commanding words?Are the many more words about idolatry and Sabbath than the other commands needed because these are necessarily more complex and subtle than the rest?

Pentecost +21 – Year AMatthew 21:33-46Stones at hand to throw. Stones aplenty to stumble over. Stones to build a watchtower and good-neighbor fences.Wealth desire more profit while it at ease, off and about. In this sense the wealthy are a stumbling stone.
