Three Taverns: February 2007
http://www.three-taverns.net/2007_02_01_archive.html
A place to sit down and talk theology. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Doing What God Gives You to Do. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Lent is a time of repentance. The entire Christian life, in fact, is one of repentance. By nature we are turned in on ourselves. Daily we must repent and look outward. Toward the cross. How do we see this, that we are turned in on ourselves? If we are despondent or going through difficult times, what is our focus? Try as we might, our sins are what we continue going back to&#...

Three Taverns: October 2007
http://www.three-taverns.net/2007_10_01_archive.html
A place to sit down and talk theology. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Seeing Yourself As Others See You. We see ourselves differently than others see us. If we saw ourselves as others see us we might be embarrassed. We might not even like what we see. A popular talk show host suggested setting up a video recorder by the dinner table and letting it roll for several days. He said that if you watched it you’d be amazed and would probably make an effort to change some of your habits. As slaves to sin? He shows u...

Three Taverns: Declaration of Dependence
http://www.three-taverns.net/2013/11/declaration-of-dependence.html
A place to sit down and talk theology. Sunday, November 3, 2013. All Saints’ Day [Observed]. Twenty-Third Sunday after Trinity. November 3, 2013. On All Saints’ Day we recognize that the saints who have gone before us model the pattern for who we are as saints today. In the same way they were utterly dependent upon their Lord, so we are in utter dependence on the same Lord. But they were once like us, weren’t they? They need their parents. Their parents are given the vocation by God to raise them, ca...

A place to sit down and talk theology. Sunday, November 24, 2013. More than Waiting; Watching. Last Sunday of the Church Year. Sunday of the Fulfillment. Twenty-Seventh Sunday after Trinity. November 24, 2013. Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. But as a Christian, you are still confronted with who you are. You are waiting. But are you foolish in your doing so? Or are you wise? But those o...

Three Taverns: The Heart of Reformation: Christ
http://www.three-taverns.net/2013/10/the-heart-of-reformation-christ.html
A place to sit down and talk theology. Sunday, October 27, 2013. The Heart of Reformation: Christ. Twenty-Second Sunday after Trinity. October 27, 2013. What is the need for reformation? We confess in the Creed the holy Christian and apostolic Church. Is there something deficient about the Church that it needs to be reformed? Believers in Christ make up this holy Christian Church; is there something about them that is lacking, that they need to be reformed? What do we say? God created the universe in per...

Three Taverns: Praying with Thanksgiving
http://www.three-taverns.net/2013/11/praying-with-thanksgiving.html
A place to sit down and talk theology. Tuesday, November 26, 2013. November 26, 2013. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Those who don’t have much, who are scraping by, can easily become anxious. And yet, anxiety does not afflict only those who are in great need. There are plenty of people who have plenty and yet are riddled with anxiety. But Paul is very specific about the prayer we offer to God. An...

Three Taverns: August 2007

A place to sit down and talk theology. Sunday, August 26, 2007. Are You Left Out in the Cold? Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Sunday, August 26, 2007. Also a ball, spoiling a chance for history. But George Will points out that though one kind of glory was lost that day, another one was achieved: the integrity of rules. The pitcher could very well have been feeling that the umpire took away his glory and spectacular of achievement of that day. What’s it going to be like on Judgment Day? We’re sur...

A place to sit down and talk theology. Sunday, April 29, 2007. The Protection of the Fold. Fourth Sunday of Easter. Sunday, April 29, 2007. How does it feel when you find out you’re not what you thought you were? When, in fact, you’re the opposite of what you thought you were? This is when they found out that they weren’t shepherds at all. They were in fact the opposite of what they had thought for their whole career. They were actually what they had been taking care of—they were sheep. When you’re...

Three Taverns: March 2007
http://www.three-taverns.net/2007_03_01_archive.html
A place to sit down and talk theology. Saturday, March 31, 2007. The events beginning on Palm Sunday of Jesus’ suffering and death and culminating in His resurrection are known as Holy Week. We observe these events like no other. We ponder the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, mindful that it was for the sins of the world one man suffered as no other. There is nothing holier than that. Jesus paying the penalty on behalf of everyone. We come to the very altar of God directly. We open our mouth and rec...
