From Bonhoeffer on the command to love our neighbor and enemy. This was from a talk he gave to a student organization at the end of 1932.
I am really bad at this. I need to grow.
I am still processing this quote from my reading last night. This is part of Bonhoeffer’s conclusion on a talk on the prayer, “Thy kingdom come.”
Too often the American Church has derided struggle as a sign of not keeping “in step with the Spirit.”
Yet, as we read the Scripture we see over and over again that struggle is central to inbreaking of the kingdom of God.
Good morning! May you remember those who have helped you become the person you are today on this All Saints Day. #MorningMug
Pastoral Thoughts on Election 2024
We are one week away from an election in the United States. It’s an election that has once again proved to be quite contentious. People are walking away from friends and family who are voting differently from them. I am watching churches devour themselves over politics. There are factions and dissensions that are rising in every corner of our society. In so many ways we continue to walk away from the way of love.
As a pastor there is a constant pressure to support this candidate or that candidate. I have been private messaged more times than I can to admit about why I do not talk about politics from the pulpit or on my social media.
Here’s the thing, everything I preach is politics. Anytime I write about faith or the way of Jesus, it is politics.
