Send us a text The Part About Forgiving Everyone: Prayer Part 6 “And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.” - from Luke 11:4 Forgiving others can be really hard for because they usually don’t deserve it and we just don’t want to do it. There are also many misconceptions around forgiveness that we need to correct. Forgiveness doesn’t require us to endure abuse or neglect. It doesn’t require us to give folk repeated opportunities to betray us. Forgiv...

2025/07/26

Send us a text Forgive Us Our Collective Debt: Prayer Part 5 Many of us live in such individualistic societies that when we hear the phrase “And forgive us our sins…” from Luke 11:4, what we actually hear is ‘forgive me my sins.’ But the concept of sin in the scriptures is closely intertwined with the concepts of peace, justice, and societal wellbeing. These concepts in the Bible are never solely about the actions of a lone individual. Rather they are about the world we support, sustain, ...

Send us a text Forgive Us Our Sins: Prayer Part 4 “And forgive us our sins…” from Luke 11:4 We don’t need to hold onto guilt and shame. At most we should treat them like a person does the warning light in a vehicle. Stop, assess what the problem is, address it as best you can, and move on. Seeking forgiveness is the human version of this process. There are at least three types of sins or shortcomings where we need to seek forgiveness. Sometimes we knowingly and intentionally do wr...

Send us a text It May Be Crazy, But It’s Not Too Late “Maybe, it's not too late, to learn how to love and forget how to hate" Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne There are those who are convinced that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. And then there are those who look at this same world with the hope and courage to say, ‘Yes, but maybe it’s not too late.” The first group lives in resignation and condemnation. The second group lives with the hope and optimism that compels and propels ...

We live in a seemingly secular world. The definition of secular here that I’m using means things and activities without spiritual significance. So, normally to us some things ar...

It is hard to wait for our needs to be met, our expectations fulfilled , and our dreams achieved. It’s even harder to wait when we don’t have the details of how, where, and when.

Martha was so overwhelmed and frustrated trying to do all the things she thought she needed to do, that she couldn’t take the time to enjoy his company or hear his lesson.

The lawyer wasn’t asking Jesus how he could get into heaven after he died. He was asking how he could experience the deepest, fullest, most meaningful, and satisfying life. The answer is simple, but it is not easy. The answer is love. First we love God with everything we have living life with equal parts wonder, appreci...
