Faith Reflections in Century 21: March 2015

Faith Reflections in Century 21. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Wondering About Greed - 2. I did, and justified it by realizing I could be a better pastor if I could dependably get to people who wanted or needed a pastor, day or night. Was I being greedy? Why would a person need a new or newer car? Isn't that just greed and pride talking? When a neighbor gave me a set of dishes for feeding four people, I accepted them and entertained others. Was I greedy to have more than one place setting? Greed rears its ug...

Faith Reflections in Century 21. Tuesday, March 18, 2014. I wrote this for our church's Lenten Devotional:. You stand very still, the knife just breaking the skin of your throat. “You heard the question. Answer me. Who do. You say that Jesus is? Your life depends on what answer you give.". I was 14 years old, standing at a bus stop in Tacoma when a wild man (no knife! Backed me up against a brick wall and ranted that question at me. Scary. My bus came, and I got away from him. Today or tomorrow,. The tit...

Faith Reflections in Century 21: February 2015

Faith Reflections in Century 21. Monday, February 23, 2015. What if Jesus of Nazareth was not only resurrected from the dead in about AD 30, but stayed on the planet? What if there was no Ascension into heaven? Would he have been lauded as a son of god or treated as a freak? Would he have been killed again? Would he have been resented as human after human died, and he lived on? How would he have guided the church, if he did? Would he continue to heal a few people when he had time and the inclination?

Faith Reflections in Century 21. Saturday, June 6, 2015. Thinking About Things I Regret. I was thinking about the gal in Ellensburg who attended our church and wanted to meet with meet in the college counseling center. When I got there Don Wise was there as well. She angrily asked me if there was a verse in the Bible that said the homosexual behavior was wrong. I tried to explain certain accepted rules for interpretation. She would have none of it. Is there such a verse? I regret my silliness, in that I ...

Faith Reflections in Century 21: January 2015
http://faithalustie.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Faith Reflections in Century 21. Saturday, January 3, 2015. What Do We Need OR Expect? I worship pretty regularly with a great bunch of people in a church that meets fewer and fewer of my needs. As I see it there are at least three problems:. The church/synagogue/temple is changing. I am not only getting older, I am getting more mature. My faith is mutating as I grow. The issues, support, reinforcement and ambitions I had twenty years ago are not the ones that drive me today. Still others quite attending...

Musing About Relationships: September 2013
http://musingaboutrelationships.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 30, 2013. As I reflect on the Bronco's game yesterday, and March Madness last spring, and the rivalry between Apple and Microsoft, and neighbors who don't get along and neighbors who do get along, I question the essential value of "win-lose" in relationships. Actually, I question it in many areas of life. You get the idea. In relationships, open and friendly competition may be fun. A win-lose approach to the relationship leads to disaster, even if only one party embraces it. Americans c...
