Redeeming Our Religion

John 13:34-35

January 22, 2012

Dr. R. Kirby Godsey (CBF)

Religion has been a source of great human good, a deep reservoir of hope and grace. But we should face up to the dark side as well. Religion is being used for profoundly evil purposes. Bad religion is making our world more dangerous--from Tehran to Norway to Gaza, people are maiming and killing and plotting evil deeds in the name of God and Allah and Yahweh. The killing fields of devout believers are ablaze.

Loving God with All Your Mind

Matthew 22:34-38

19th Sunday after Pentecost - Year A

October 23, 2011

The Rev. Dr. Brett Younger (CBF)

I grew up in churches that had all the answers.  Heaven was up, hell was down, and we knew who was going in which direction.  God created the world in six days--one hundred and forty-four hours.  The Red Sea parted just like in the movie.  The whale swallowed Jonah.  If the Bible said that Jonah swallowed the whale, we would have made that a test of faith.  We reduced the mystery of the Unknowable God to Four Spiritual Laws that would fit on a post card and still leave room for "The Bible says it.  I believe it.  That settles it."  We didn't have room for questions, because we were certain of everything.

Do You Love Jesus?

The Rev. Dr. Peter Marty (ELCA)

Talking about Jesus as an idea is a far cry from trusting your life to Jesus, and believing in the concept of God doesn't begin to compare with actually knowing God. Peter Marty calls for a bone-rattling passion for following Christ.

Love

The Rev. John Gunn (other)

The Rev. John R Gunn writes, "We all wish for love -- the non-physical kind. We want someone to care about what happens to us. Love emanates from a person as a glow from a light hidden inside the body. It's this love that creates a home out of a wooden or a brick structure."

The Sower's Lesson

The Rev. Joseph Evans (PCUSA)

The goal of the sower in Jesus' parable (Matthew 13) was simply to sow seed, and to many he seems careless and wasteful. As followers of Christ, how are we sowing the seeds of our faith?

Beyond Bunnies and Jelly Beans

The Rev. Pam Driesell (PCUSA)

In her Easter message based on John 20, the Rev. Pam Driesell says, "Easter is not a promise that your business or family or the church or the world will be 'like it used to be,' or even that your pulse will go on beating forever. It is a promise that the power that gave you a pulse will never, ever abandon you."
