Judging in Corona-land (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

God is the only one who judges. When you judge others (or they judge you) it doesn’t matter. The only judgement that matters is the Son of God, dead on the cross for you. Everything else pales in comparison. What’s most important is the suffering and death of Jesus. That’s the only judgement that matters, and it’s the one you need to give to others, too.

Jesus Quarantines Himself — to Save You (Lectionary Monday)

 

 

Jesus escapes death by stoning from the Pharisees by fleeing from them. God hides Himself — quarantines Himself — to save you by taking on your sin on the cross. He won’t escape on Good Friday. Jesus social-distances Himself from the Pharisees in this week’s lesson in order to make it to the cross, where He will die to save you.

The Realness of the Sacred Scriptures – Gal 6:11 (Bible Study Thursday)

 

 

This verse shows the realness of God breathing words through His apostles — even a frail, old Paul can’t see and has to write in giant letters. The Scriptures are the inspired word of God, written by men, as a gift. When you read the Scriptures, you’re reading God’s own Words, delivered by His servants. They were actual human beings, real people in a real time.

A Christmas Break from the Quarantine (What’s UP? Wednesday)

 

 

In a world where everything is falling apart, we have comfort and hope, because “…no words are impossible with God”. God announced to a virgin a reality that changed the universe, an impossible Word that she was with child, a Child born to save. And into our suffering, fear, dread, and loneliness, He says, “I’m going to save you. I’ve sent my Son to save you.”

Is God Punishing Us? (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

Doom and gloom rages all around us these days. There’s a lot of law going on. You don’t need to hear that God is judging you, but that there was One who suffered death for you. There was One who was exiled for you, was truly alone, beaten, bruised, mocked, and died for you. And that One went through your death, hell, and fear and overcame them all.

Comfort for When You Can’t Get to Church (Headline Lowdown)

If you can’t go to church and it’s really troubling you, your Father in heaven knows your need. He’s given you His Word, He’s fed you His Supper, He’s baptized you. Trust in your baptism to carry you through this time. If you don’t care that you’re missing church, this is your call to repentance. Use this time to meditate on His Word and prepare to come back when it’s over.

The Needy in Church First! – Gal 6:10 (Bible Thursday Thursday)

As a church, as a people, as someone helping someone else out…consider first those in the faith. Before you help anybody else, help those in the faith, the baptized. You have been died-for, die for others. You have been loved, love others. First and foremost, those in the family of faith. And then, when you have more time and resources, help others too.
