Wisdom and Foolishness

3/3/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
The cross isn't just jewelry. 
For us, it has a radically different meaning.


It stands for the Christ-like wisdom to give up our lives in order to gain true life.
 To give up the world's notion of wealth in order to gain true riches.  

 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings:
Exodus 20:1-17; 1
Corinthians 1:18-2-5

Never Give Up

10/17/2023

Picture
It may be our nature to lapse, but it’s God’s nature to love.
It may be our nature to fail, but it’s God’s nature to forgive.
Even though we may sometimes give up on God, God never, ever, ever gives up on us. 
 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings:
Philippians 4:4-9
Exodus 32:1-14

It's the Law

Perhaps we can view the Ten Commandments not as a dreary list of “dos” and “don’ts” but as characteristics of the abundant life that God wants all of us to enjoy.

You Bet Your Life

Picture
Whom do we choose to believe?
Whom do we choose to trust?
Whom do we choose to follow?

The tyrants of this world, the "realists?"
Or the rocks of faith who insist on doing the Christ-like thing? 

The ones who persist in showing goodness, mercy, humility, and compassion -- even in the face of evil and brutality.


We stake our very lives on the answer.

Society says that the more we take, the more we have.
But Christ says just the opposite. 
The more we give, the more we will receive.
That's God's arithmetic, not the world's.

 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings: 
Exodus 12:1-14
John 13:1-20, 31-35

Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale

3/12/2023

Picture
God invites us to join Him breaking down the walls of hostility and raising up bridges of hope.

The way to do that is to demonstrate the same kind of loving acceptance and mercy that Jesus himself showed.

Such a calling is not easy.
It's a lifelong and uphill struggle.
But it's more than worth it.

Because the world's hatred leads to death. God's love to leads to life. 
 - Denny Burnette

Scripture Readings: 
​Exodus 17:1-7
John 4:1-30, 39-42

Transcendence

2/19/2023

Picture
When the disciples saw Jesus with Moses and Elijah on that mountain, something awe-inspiring and transcendent happened.

Jesus' life and those of the disciples were so much the richer for it.

​As 
it is for all of us who are willing to open ourselves to transcendent moments.

 - Gay Einstein

Scripture Readings:
Exodus 24:12-18 
Matthew 17:1-9
