Working Together to Accomplish the Mission of the Church

Last updated on: February 28, 2020 at 12:36 pm By Jim Erwin

Working Together to Accomplish the Mission of the Church Isaiah 42:1-9 This week, you might have heard that a logo for the United States Space Force was released. The mission of the Space Force is “a military service that organizes, trains, and equips space forces in order to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and to provide space capabilities to the joint force.”1 Long before there was a Space Force, there was the Space Shuttle. I grew up in... Read more

Growing Closer to God Through the Storms of Life

Last updated on: January 20, 2020 at 1:38 pm By Jim Erwin

Growing Closer to God Through the Storms of Life Psalm 29:1-11 We encountered a storm this weekend. Storms are common here in the Ozarks. I grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast. The kind of storms that you encounter there are not the same that you encounter here in the winter. The sounds of the storm late Friday night were very unique. This psalm describe the power of a storm. But more than the power of the storm, there is... Read more

How to Start Off on the Right Foot with God This Year

Last updated on: January 19, 2020 at 9:21 pm By Jim Erwin

Start Off On the Right Foot With God This Year 1 Kings 3:1-15 We start a new year, and many people take this time to make new starts. Some may go on after-Christmas diets. Others may make new resolutions or plans. Here, we see Solomon making a similar new start. Solomon has been coronated as the new king. One might think that Solomon has made some missteps. We see that he has married the daughter of the Pharaoh or king... Read more

God Is With Me at HOME for the Holidays

Last updated on: January 11, 2020 at 8:53 pm By Jim Erwin

God Is With Me at HOME for the Holidays Psalm 23:6 Here is a literal back-translation to English of Psalm 23 (“The Lord is My Shepherd”) as understood by the Khmus tribe of Laos:1 The Great Boss is the one who takes care of my sheep; I don’t want to own anything. The Great Boss wants me to lie down in the field. He wants me to go to the lake. He makes my good spirit come back. Even though... Read more

God Is With Me to Celebrate

Last updated on: December 25, 2019 at 12:32 pm By Jim Erwin

God Is With Me to Celebrate Psalm 23:5 Leslie B. Flynn points out that the main part of hospitality is hospital. He writes, “Ancient travelers, whether pilgrims or businessmen, fared poorly when venturing beyond their own country. Thus, religious leaders established international guest houses in the fifth century. These havens were called “hospice” from hospes, Latin for “guests.” With the coming of the Crusades, the importance of the hospice increased greatly. Pilgrims, crusaders, and other travelers found hospices, by this... Read more

God Is With Me in the Valleys of Life Psalm 23:4 The Government is my shepherd, Therefore, I need not work. It allows me to lie down on a good job; It leads me beside still factories. It destroys my initiative; It leads me in the path of a parasite for politics’ sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of laziness and deficit spending, I fear no evil; for the Government is with me. It preparest an economic utopia... Read more

Embracing the Dignity of Work

Last updated on: December 3, 2019 at 10:20 pm By Jim Erwin

Embracing the Dignity of Work 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 Have you ever known someone so caught up in his or her work that family, health, and everything meaningful was neglected? How about the opposite extreme? Have you known or seen someone who was downright lazy, who had no ambition, no drive to achieve, produce, or provide? Unfortunately, society is full of both extremes. On one hand, you have workaholics. On the other hand, you have bums avoiding work. Both of these... Read more

The Interfaith Family Journal by Susan Katz Miller

Last updated on: December 2, 2019 at 11:32 pm By Jim Erwin

The Interfaith Family Journal by Susan Katz Miller The Interfaith Family Journal is not specifically designed for someone of just one faith. In truth, it is a journal designed for postmodern families who want to explore other faiths outside of Christianity. As Miller notes: “While many previous books on interfaith families have assumed an audience of Christian and Jewish heterosexual couples, this journal consciously strives to decenter white Christian heteronormativity, and to work for people and families representing any number...
