Remember my friend Argy? (I referenced him a couple of posts ago – you can find that blog post here.) Upon finding her was terminally ill with cancer, he said: “I am not afraid of being dead–but I am afraid of the process of dying.” I thought for a moment, then said: “Argy, instead of […]

Argy was a sweet old fellow, a member of the first church I served after seminary. I visited him shortly after hearing that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I found him where I almost always found him, sitting in a lawn chair, overlooking his garden. After a few minutes of small talk, I broached […]

I never knew God LIKES Me!

I preached a sermon in which I said something to the effect: “God is your best friend. God is a wonderful Father who is so proud of you. If God has a pocketbook, your picture is in there. If God has a refrigerator God has put your works of art all over it. When the angel gather […]

When Jesus saw that only one of the former lepers expressed gratitude, he was astonished. He asked three questions: “Were not ten healed?” “Where are the other nine?” “Can it be that only one came back to give glory to God?” What was even more amazing, as the text inform us, is that this one […]

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. (Luke 17:15) What about the tenth leper? He took some time for reflection. He realized he had experienced something amazing. And so, before returning home, he went to Jesus and fell at the Lord’s feet with shouts of praise […]

Robert Farrar Capon On Religion

What role have I left for religion? None. And I have left none because the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ leaves none. Christianity is not a religion; it is the announcement of the end of religion. Religion consists of all the things (believing, behaving, worshiping, sacrificing) the human race has ever thought […]

The Incarnation – Words from T.F. Torrance

By billnieporte on Friday, September 13th, 2013 | No Comments

“With the Incarnation, God the eternal Son became Man, without ceasing to be God and without breaking the communion of the Holy Trinity within which God lives his own divine life.
