Shifts
Earlier this month in my post titled Wake Up! I spoke in a brief and very general way about awakening. Now I want to dig a little deeper and talk about what happens when people begin to wake up. So what does happen when people start waking up? To put is simply, the world beginsContinue reading “Shifts”
All My Life’s a Circle
You don’t have to look far to find circles in daily life. From the bowl you eat your breakfast cereal from to the clock on the wall, to the sun and the moon, circles are everywhere. Life itself can be seen as a circle from birth to death. We even talk of coming “full circle”Continue reading “All My Life’s a Circle”

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” — Psalm 91:1 King James Version of the Bible via Bible Gateway I encourage you to read the entire 91st Psalm.

This morning IContinue reading “Standing”
And That Ain’t Your Sweet Little Baptist Jesus
The above was a favorite saying of John S. Reist Jr. Ph.D, , my theology professor from my seminary days. When Jesus was asked to read the scripture in the synagogue he ended the reading from Isaiah with the words, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” — Luke 4:21 RSV So what was fulfilled? ‘The spirit ofContinue reading “And That Ain’t Your Sweet Little Baptist Jesus”
