Powerful Love and Progressive Christianity

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 4:18 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

The Royal Wedding was eye-opening for many people. The Right Rev. Michael Curry, leader of the Episcopal Church in the USA, preached for 13 minutes about God’s love. (A transcript of his sermon is below.) This is what Progressive Christianity looks like. This is the message of Jesus. Love God. Love others. There are some who complain that his message of God’s love is incomplete — that Curry didn’t mention God’s judgement, or repentance. These complaints say more about the... Read more

Toxic Christianity

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 4:13 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

I saw these bumper stickers on a truck recently. There’s so much going on here, I didn’t bother to look at the other side of the vehicle. It’s a toxic mix of nationalism, violence, racism, ignorance, gun fetishism and bad theology. For example, armed resistance to tyrants is not obedience to God. Christ calls us to put away our machine guns, and follow him peacefully. Sherman and Grant didn’t own slaves, Lee and Jackson did. Other stickers portrayed the owner... Read more

A father’s love

Last updated on: April 22, 2018 at 9:18 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

In a question and answer session with children this week, Pope Francis was addressed by a little boy overcome with emotion. Francis beckoned the child forward, and on camera and in public, listened to the child’s story privately. Follow the link to see the video: https://youtu.be/cwREgr43_x0 Here’s a translation of the Pope’s words: If only all of us could cry as Emanuele does when we have pain in our hearts. He was crying for his father, which he had the... Read more

Slipping through the time-stream

Last updated on: April 17, 2018 at 7:35 am By Jim Meisner Jr.

When I was in high school, I went into my girlfriend’s house to find her dad standing in the kitchen, looking at the stove. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Waiting for the kettle to boil.” “Well,” I said, “it’s not going to boil, if you keep watching it.” I don’t remember his response, but I do know that time is relative. Eight seconds in a warm shower goes by much quicker than eight seconds on the back of a... Read more

Facing the Unimaginable

Last updated on: April 11, 2018 at 3:03 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

No one in the lynch mob that murdered Walter Johnson was ever convicted. Government officials tried to save his life by hiding him in the woods when the armed crowd attacked the Princeton City Jail in Mercer County, West Virginia. Led by railroad foreman Gordon White, on Sept. 5, 1912, more than three hundred people stole a train, cut the telephone lines and set out to avenge an alleged assault of White’s daughter. The bloodthirsty mob ignored the assertions of... Read more

Hope – finding abundance in lacking

Last updated on: April 10, 2018 at 6:33 pm By Jim Meisner Jr.

First Mennonite Church, Richmond, Va., has conducted a bread service the Sunday after Easter for 20 years. Five breads representing five themes are paired with five hymns. I shared this message. Tumeric Bread: Hope Mark 6:34-43 34 As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is...
