Love Christ Live Faith: April 2014
http://lovechristlivefaith.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Saturday, April 19, 2014. My Father and Your Father, My God and Your God. I got the movie 12 Years A Slave. It's a mistake if people of faith approach Easter the same way. When we take a look at the resurrection stories in any of the four Gospels, are we just reading something on a page, or listening to someone tell this old, old story again? Are we looking for an amazing show with trumpet sounds and colorful paraments and the smells of spring? I don't...

Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Saturday, March 21, 2015. A Single Grain Upon Which Every Other Life Somehow Depends. Recently I encountered a poem by Leonard Nathan that speaks to the is huge impact you will have on others, on all people, as one abiding in Christ. It was shared by Parker Palmer on his Facebook page and it lifts up several ideas. many touching nerves within me. How easy it is for us to think that what we contribute to life and others doesn't matter. Gods child Jesus ...

Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Saturday, May 24, 2014. A Wild Abiding God. What a world we live in. What a God we have. I have been reading a fascinating book by the atheist/author/activist/journalist/biologist Barbara Ehrenreich called Living with a Wild God: A Nonbelievers Search for the Truth about Everything. So she continues to struggle, pressing on in her search to understand the truth of what happened to her. The truth about the universe is that there is so much more than wha...

Love Christ Live Faith: June 2014
http://lovechristlivefaith.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Thursday, June 26, 2014. Arby's is Delicious (TM). I see Dell, Gateway, AMC Theaters and U.S. Cellular logos. I think it says a lot about the hollowness of the message when companies need to drown us in their slogans thousands of times a day. It reveals some desperation. Maybe if it's said enough, then people will believe it. That's what Mao hoped to do. But his best results came from a good batch of terror mixed with the slogans. Gods child Jesus disc...

Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Sunday, April 05, 2015. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. How much does it take to surprise good ol' mom? I would image this Easter there will be a few moms out there surprised to see their kids all dressed up for morning services. Some surprised moms might even be a little speechless. What can I really be certain about any more? But in Mark's Gospel surprise becomes alarm, which then becomes terror for the women. After all, the dead don't come back to...

Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Saturday, March 01, 2014. Life Swimming through the Sea of Time. I recently watched three movies directed by Richard Linklater, made nine years apart, that look at three days, nine years apart, lived by characters played by Ethan Hawk and Julie Delpy. In the first, Before Sunrise. What does it mean to commit to another? What do we gain and lose when we are tied to a lover, children, family, jobs, locations, and ideas? Or even Before Sunrise. Speak of t...

Love Christ Live Faith: I Will Cling to the Old Rugged Cross

Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Friday, April 03, 2015. I Will Cling to the Old Rugged Cross. This week I encountered the classic hymn, The Old Rugged Cross, at just the place and time I needed its message. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,. The emblem of suff'ring and shame;. And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best. For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,. Till my trophies at last I lay down;. To bear it to dark Calvary.

Love Christ Live Faith. A journey of faith in Jesus. Saturday, August 16, 2014. Of all the Robin Williams quotes being bounced around, my favorite (that doesn't involve sexual organs) comes from Dead Poets Society. Seize the day. Make your lives and words extraordinary. Saturday, August 09, 2014. From Everlasting to Everlasting. Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away;. They fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. Isaac Watts, from "Our God, Our Help in Ages Past"). In one p...
