More on “Born Again” – 1 Peter 1:17-25
Peter’s words here are good for us to take to heart as we look forward to getting out of quarantine and isolation. Our experiences shape the way in which we look at life. It is far to easy for fear and anxiety to get in the way of living that fullness of life – expressed

Hanging out with Philemon
Ok. So I lied – well, not really – I changed my mind. After uploading this video, I looked at 2 & 3 John and figured that each one has enough content to deal with individually. So, next Wednesday, I’ll be posting a study video of 2 John … and then 3 John … and

Bible Studies
People have been missing Bible Studies. Starting next week, I want to pick up where we left off at the end of Epiphany with our Wednesday night study time. We were looking at the short books of the Bible – one-pagers, you might call them. So, next week, I’ll prepare a walk-through of the book

Jesus Again?
I’m running a day late with my Easter week meditations. Wednesday’s Gospel reading is taken from John 21:1-14 and is the account of where Jesus appeared to the disciples while they were coming in from a night of fishing – and had caught nothing, by the way. Imagine fishing all night – after the death

Look What I Found!
We hid the ‘Alleluia’ banner with the children at the beginning of our Lenten journey – and now that Easter has dawned, I couldn’t help but dig it out again! We use the word ‘Alleluia’ quite often in our hymns and prayers as an expression of praise. Sometimes we see it spelled Hallelujah (transliterated from

Three Nails
Three nails – one for each wrist and the other for the feet. This is part of the cruelty of the crucifixion as the Romans found ways to display their ‘criminals’ before the world to see. Only, Pontius Pilate figured that this Jesus was innocent of the charges against Him. He tried to have Him

The Greening Power of God
No, I’m not talking eco-theology here. This is a shout out to a medieval mystic by the name of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). People sometimes make a lot of her writings – she was a feisty woman with a visionary bent – but at the heart of her spirituality was a recognition that God gives
