Lectionary Monday: God isn’t the way you think He is – A Higher Things® Video Short

“C’mon Jesus, do that thing you do and just heal the guy!” That’s what everyone expects hin to do for the deaf guy that day. He should wave a hand over the guy and chant some mumbo-jumbo. But that’s not the kind of God Jesus is. He doesn’t do things the way we think He should — sometimes He heals with wet-willies! We couldn’t make this stuff up if we tried!

Friday – WELS, ELCA, and LCMS – How to tell them apart? – A Higher Things® Video Short

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G98udRVQc1w

This week on Fun Word Friday, let’s sort out the alphabet soup of American Lutheran church bodies, a little bit of history, and how and why they’re different. There are the visible things that distinguish one from another but the differences are more fundamental than what we see externally. It’s all about how we understand the Word of God.

Bible Study Thursday: Why it’s okay to worship on Sunday (Gal 4:10-11) – A Higher Things Video Short

Christ has set us free from being able to be judged for worshipping the Lord on one day or another. According to Paul in Galatians, Christians can faithfully worship on Saturday or on Sunday…or on Tuesday if they want. That’s not what makes anyone a “better” Christian or holier than anyone else. Only Christ makes us holy.

The giver defines the gift

Worship is God giving, and us receiving. We can’t define the gift. Only the giver can do that. Thanks be to God He gives His body and blood for you for the forgiveness of your sins.

Not forgiving others puts you on the wrong team – A Higher Things® Video Short

When someone has done something awful or mean to you, it’s often difficult to forgive them — especially when they’re not even sorry. Do we really have to forgive those people for those things?

“I am never going to that church again” – A Higher Things® Video Short

It’s a belated Lectionary Monday combined with Out of Context Tuesday! When we read the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector and envision ourselves as the pious and humble Tax Collector, thanking God we’re not like those judgmental Pharisees…we’re reading the parable COMPLETELY WRONG!
