Thursday, December 20, 2012. Mary's Waiting is Our Waiting. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.". We cannot talk about Advent, or wonder what the sacred act of waiting means, without talking about Mary. Mary is someone whose whole life was shaped by waiting- first for Jesus' birth, and then for his death on the cross. Mary had no choice but to wait. Waiting sometimes brings with it deep emotion and struggle. How do you suppose she waited? The Lord is with you.'. Here am I, the ...

Thursday, January 26, 2012. See how great a love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.". And so we are. Read that again. The Apostle John knew his place, didn't he? Friends, do you know that you are a child of the Most High God? Our Father is not content to leave us as orphans. We might feel sometimes that we have no place, but it is God's desire that we know him and call him "Abba" (my Father). Rm 8:15 and Gal. 4:6). And with that comes the joy and privi...

Kids are playing games or swinging or climbing the jungle gym or gathering in little circles to talk. In the middle of the typical playground squabbles and joking around somebody goes up to somebody else and does a little pantomime. If you were that kid it would look something like this:. This Monday night I'm go...

Thursday, March 29, 2012. The Stone the Builders Rejected. On Christ the S. All other ground is sinking sand;. All other ground is sinking sand. Edward Mote, circa 1834. Last week I wrote about the "tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;". And He is Jesus.

Thursday, January 31, 2013. Breaking Up the Fallow Ground. For it is time. First I must apologize for the lateness of this week's e-news. One thing after another kept us from getting it out on time. But I hope you get this before Monday night. And you can come to our Monday Night Meal and Message! Four weeks ago I talked about Fallow Ground- letting our hearts rest and rejuvenate for a season. Even God rested on the seventh day when he made the world. They knew exactly what he meant. At Peace Lutheran Ch...

Thursday, November 29, 2012. Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? We are now full throttle into the holiday season.

Christmas, with all its beauty and twinkling lights, presents to us one vital question: Are we going to believe this unbelievable Christmas story or not? But what about relationship with God?
