I’m posting this because I had a day where I was confronted with underlying fear and anxiety that I wasn’t even aware of until I thought about it for a few moments. These verses were helpful to me, and I’m sharing them in the hopes they might be helpful to someone else. Now that I’m [...]

PostSecret and The Church
Posted: 26th April 2009 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: church, confession, PostSecret
I’ve blogged about PostSecret before and visiting the website is as much a part of my Sunday routine as church attendance. (Admittedly, I’ve attended services at the PostSecret website more frequently than church this year.) At any rate, it occurred to me today that what PostSecret founder Frank Warren has stumbled upon with his site [...]
The Word became flesh. Human. The Word didn’t become a committee. He didn’t become a program. The Word didn’t become a set of rules or a religion. The Word did not confine Himself to a mission statement or a policy. The Word was more than a book. The Word didn’t become inspiration or accountability. The [...]

Pontius Pilate first asked this poignant question on the day Jesus or Nazareth was crucified, and the question still vexes hearers today. Because of His teachings, His life and the events surrounding His death, all must eventually contend with what they believe about this great man. At issue is the absurdity of His claims. Unlike [...]
Hosanna

The word Hosanna, which we commonly hear on Palm Sunday and in some praise songs, means “Save now!” It is a cry, uttered by God’s people, to the God they believe can save them from the desperation they feel. This cry was uttered two millennia ago when Jesus rode into Jerusalem just before the Passover [...]
