Monday of 4th Sunday in Lent – Luke 8:16-25

Last updated on: March 15, 2015 at 10:52 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Luke 8:16-25 “For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.” What’s up with this passage? Is this the same Jesus they’ve been telling us about? He sounds like a kind of Robin Hood in reverse. He seems like a kind of tsilaicos (socialist in reverse), saying that the rich will grow richer and the poor will grow poorer. If this seems shocking or... Read more

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 6:16 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Have you ever wanted to be a superhero? I wrote a novel when I was in college about a guy name Tom Noone who wanted to be a superhero named Zolton – but that’s a different story! Growing up, I liked the Hulk, among other superheroes. My favorite villain was the Hulk’s nemesis, the Leader. The Leader had also been belted by gamma ray but instead of it making him green and strong, it made him green... Read more

Last updated on: March 11, 2015 at 10:22 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1 It’s time again for Erlandson’s Special and General Theories of Sacramentality. If you’ve been reading Give Us This Day for a while, you might remember that Erlandson’s Special Theory of Sacramentality states that God’s grace is communicated through and visibly signified by His special Sacraments of Baptism and Communion, if faithfully received. Erlandson’s General Theory of Sacramentality states that God’s grace is generally communicated through and visibly signified by His all of His creation, if faithfully received,... Read more

Last updated on: December 6, 2017 at 5:38 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Corinthians 10:1-13 If you’ve ever wondered about the value of reading the Old Testament, you’ve come to the right place, for in 1 Corinthians 10 St. Paul explains how we might profitably read the Old Testament for our edification. Actually, in 1 Corinthians 9:8ff he already gave us a lesson on how to interpret some of the laws (using the law about not muzzling the ox as an example.) Paul begins by teaching that even in the Old Testament... Read more
