Lenten Remix 18: Love Your Enemy

Last updated on: February 28, 2016 at 10:01 am By Jeff Hood

“Love the KKK.” / “Love your enemy.” Jesus tells us to love our enemies in Matthew 5:44. I can think of few more hateful organizations than the KKK. They are indeed enemies of God. If we are going to love our enemies, we have to love the vilest. We can’t follow Jesus without finding a way to love the KKK. Amen. Read more

Lenten Remix 17: Jesus Brought the Wine

Last updated on: February 27, 2016 at 8:09 am By Jeff Hood

In John 2, Jesus brought the wine. How could anyone teach that all alcohol is sinful after reading the verses about the wedding feast? I don’t know. I only know that Jesus brought the wine. Amen. Read more

Lenten Remix 16: Jesus Had a Vagina

Last updated on: February 27, 2016 at 7:48 am By Jeff Hood

There is not a single verse in all of scripture that describes Jesus’ genitalia. Why do we spend so much time assuming that Jesus had a penis? I think our faith would benefit from exploring the femininity of Jesus…or assuming for a little while that Jesus had a vagina. Amen. Read more

Lenten Remix 15: Just Be Love.

Last updated on: February 27, 2016 at 7:39 am By Jeff Hood

In Matthew 22, Jesus tells us to love God and our neighbor. If we are not going to love, our lives our meaningless. People are always talking about what everybody else needs to be. I think we can make Jesus’ greatest commandments simpler. Stop worrying about everything else…”Just Be Love.” Amen. Read more

Last updated on: February 27, 2016 at 7:27 am By Jeff Hood

Philippians 4:6 reads, “Do not be anxious about anything…” There is an old saying that bubbles up from the islands that has a little better wording for our context, “Don’t worry…” Amen. Read more

Lenten Remix 12: Give Your Life

Last updated on: February 22, 2016 at 12:50 pm By Jeff Hood

“Give your life.” In John 15:13, Jesus tells the disciples that love doesn’t get any greater than sacrificing your life for your friends. We can’t have a future worth living in without making the marginalized and oppressed our friends. The message of Jesus is clear. Give your life. Amen. Read more

Lenten Remix 11: End Racism

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 10:58 am By Jeff Hood

“Love must be sincere. End Racism.” Racism pervades every part of our lives. To deny the systemic nature of racial inequality is to deny love. We must not forget that love must be sincere. In order for love to be sincere we must end racism. In Romans 12:9, Paul tells us to hate what is evil. What could be more evil than racism? You can’t follow God and not end racism. Amen. Read more

Lenten Remix 10: The Ass Stones

Last updated on: February 20, 2016 at 8:07 am By Jeff Hood

“Why don’t you hypocrites take your stones and shove them up your asses?” Jesus placing his body in the dirt between the adulterous woman and her accusers is one of the most powerful moments in all of scripture. John relays another powerful moment in 8:7. Jesus looks up from the dirt and says, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” The Pharisees walk away. I’ve often wondered if... Read more

Last updated on: February 19, 2016 at 10:58 pm By Jeff Hood

“Jesus screamed.” Upon the death of Lazarus in John 11, “Jesus wept.” Often when you lose someone you love, you do more than weep. When I lost my grandmother last year, I screamed. I think Jesus screamed too. Amen. Read more
