Zion Baptist Church in Madison Wis. Let’s go way back for a moment, back to 1956 at the successful end of the Montgomery bus boycott that won African Americans the right to sit anywhere on city buses that they wanted, not just to be shoved to the back of the bus.

Reflections on faith, society, life and the world. Thursday, July 26, 2012. Meditations from a Mountain. Mt Rainier, July 14, 2012. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From where will my help come? At first sight, Creator God, the mountain seems so powerful, so majestic, so unchanging. It seems to be such a good image of you, the one whose creative power released the energies of the universe and sustains them across the eons. With awe, with respect, with boldness, much as we might approach you. And the ...

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Starting to sink in.

I can't wait! View my complete profile.

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Friday, December 3, 2010. Something New, Take 2. One of the things I appreciate the most about the congregation I serve, Community of Hope, UCC. This one example of sharing the responsibility for decorating our sanctuary with the entire congregation is something I have begun thinking about in terms of most other areas of church life. How can we do the same when it comes to our mission commitments, church administration and gov...

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Here is my sermon from Sunday, October 18. The text was Psalm 91. Enjoy. Seth Donovan was one of the speakers. She’s a community organizer by profession and a member of an ELCA Mission congregation in Denver, CO called House for All Sinners and Saints.

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Let the Whole Creation Cry. In chapter 1 Joel describes a plague of locusts that had come and devastated the people and the land with these words:. 8220;Listen to this you Elders, pay attention, all you inhabitants of the land!

This blog is a forum for my thoughts and reflections about faith and life. Sunday, December 27, 2009. The Gift of Love - Christmas Eve. About 15 minutes into the beginning of our Winter Solstice worship service I noticed a man and a woman I didn’t recognize standing outside the sanctuary looking in. I worried that they were hesitating to come in because we’d already started so I decided to go out to greet them and make sure they knew they were welcome to join in the service. These were certainly possibil...

Pastor Phil Owens
Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Proverbs 17:4 (NKJV) An evildoer gives heed to false lips; A liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue. Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. For by grac...
Pastor Phil Owens | HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES ARE CLEARLY SEEN
Proverbs 17:4 (NKJV) An evildoer gives heed to false lips; A liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue. Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. The Church in the Book of Ephesians. He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world;. For through Him we both have...

Thoughts and musings on the ministry of CrossRoads Church in Cottage Grove, MN. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. This weekend at Crossroads I'll be speaking on envy and jealousy and what it does to our hearts. Our case study will be the Biblical character Saul who cast a "jealous eye" on David. Saul's jealousy wrecked his life. 1 Samuel 18:10 says that as the result of Saul's jealousy, "a tormenting spirit from God overwhelmed Saul.". Is this consistent with the character of God? So what's the deal? This weekend ...

Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Let’s do A Comparison of Peace. Security in this life. Safety for the soul. Sense of direction and purpose. THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEACE. This kind of peace is found in salvation. It is found only when a person surrenders their will. To God and accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life. This kind of peace is seen in the character of God. It is this peace that points a person to God as the true and only source of peace. It is an assurance that moves.
The Rabbit Hole
Life is strange. It's all we know yet it seems to be wrong somehow. That's because what we see is only half the story. In order to understand that half, you need to get a glimpse into the other half. Jesus has given us that glimpse. I hope I can help you see it by helping you see him. Thursday, December 05, 2013. As was recently posted by VOM, "I have found truly jubilant Christians only in the Bible, in the Underground Church and in prison." - Richard Wurmbrand. Wednesday, June 08, 2011. Beauty is one o...

Reflexion
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Why Imposters Love the Church, An Article by Russell Moore. Russell Moore: Why Impostors Love the Church. What made me squirm was the fact that the fake Rockefeller’s inroad to all his deception was churches and relationships, particularly with women. He would make the connections he needed in local congregations, and he would charm the women there. But why, when there is so much opportunity for debauchery out there in the world around us, do such people choose the church? Moreov...
