Sermon

Paul Hegele

... on planting and reaping, planting and reaping? Why can't I become someone else, someone greater?" One day, while he was working away in the field, Tapu heard footsteps. He looked out to the road and saw the king riding past in his carriage and surrounded by his servants. Tapu thought: "How fine to be a king! If only I could be a king in a carriage with my servants behind me." Then he began to chant: "The king, the king, the king I would be." A voice said "Tapu, be the king!" Tapu became a king and sat on a ...

... - who can talk with God. What a shame that we seldom do. We struggle on through life missing that deep thing - that fire, that inner compulsion, that inner peace; that still, small voice, that call, that challenge, that sense of eternal things! The real Christian experience is not thought out coldly. It is a gift from God, when we dare to be open to God. When we give in to him, it happens. It is, then, that intelligence is set on fire. We have a new base from which to think. We begin to think as Christians ...

... for medical assistance - while I like to deal with a physician who is a warm human being - sound and updated medical technology is higher on my list of priorities than whether or not I happen to personally like the doctor. The second position in the school of thought holding that new and old are in competition is the converse of the first. This position holds that new is better than old. Being new, it is unswervingly better. Once I had a wedding in a very old and gracious home. It was exceedingly well built ...

The noise of the crowds grew to a raucous loudness, coming toward him, but he had no thought of self now. He simply did not care, and he stood there, waiting for them. Waiting to be taken.

He talked with the little girl and he told her what he must do… and asked her if she thought she could stand the touch of the needle without jumping. She thought for a moment, and then said simply, “I think I can… if Daddy will hold me while you do it.” So the father took his little girl in his lap, steadied her head against his shoulder, and held her tightly in his arms ...

I heard an old story about a fellow who went to a small town in Indiana. Well, the thought of possibly moving his family there, he went to a local service station and asked the attendant, "What kind of people live around here?"

John Wayne Clarke

... that the world was unable to see. He viewed the world from more than one vantage point. He saw the world both as a carpenter from Nazareth and as the King of kings. He lived and did things that the rest of humanity could not grasp. He thought thoughts that the world had never thought. He did deeds that the rest of the world could not do. And our world could not stand that. It tried to pull him down to its own level, but Jesus refused to be a part of the darkness of this world. Unlike the character in H ...

... the Old Testament. Psalm 50:7–15 makes this very point (cf. also 2 Macc. 14:35; 3 Macc. 2:9; Philo, Special Laws 1.291). It is evident from the fact that God is himself the source of human life. What, then, can we give to God? This thought is expressed emphatically in the Greek, “Not by human hands is he served,” and then underlined by the present participle, “he [God] keeps on giving” life. This description of God is drawn from Isaiah 42:5 (cf. Gen. 2:7; Wisd. 1:7, 14), but Paul may have intended ...

... a number of references in the OT to God as Father (e.g., Exod. 4:22; Deut. 32:6; Hos. 1:10; 11:1), but in most cases these describe the relationship between God and his people as a whole, or between God and the king. Evidence that individuals thought of God as their Father is sparse. The same can be said of intertestamental Judaism, and in the whole of the Qumran literature there is just one passage where the epithet, Father, is applied to God (1QH 9.35f.). Judaism of the first century A.D. and later did ...

Here Paul has in mind the endpoint of time as we know it in our earthy existence. Paul thought and taught that he and the Corinthians (and all others) lived at the juncture of two ages (see the Introduction, p. 15, and 10:11)—“the present evil age” (Gal. 1:4) that had started to pass away with the cross of Christ (see 1 Cor. 7:31b ...

Finally, Paul’s logic extends itself to the matter of a woman losing her husband and the possibility of remarrying in verses 39–40, and his thought remains consistent to the end of the section. 7:25 Paul clearly states that he is offering his own opinion, not a word from the Lord, but he suggests that his opinion is informed and valuable. Paul’s thinking is determined both by the presence and ...

Just like birds can get into a garden and eat up all the good stuff, sometimes we can let mean thoughts get into our heads and mess up all our good thoughts. If only we had a scarecrow in our minds that would scare off any mean thoughts.
