No Comments on Viruses, Church & What to Think in the Midst of Fear (Headline Lowdown)

Your church is going to take steps to keep you safe. Be wise, wash your hands and take precautions to serve your neighbors. Pray for those who are suffering and and those who are sick. Pray for those who are afraid. And receive from Jesus — from His Word, and from His Body and Blood. In a world that seems to have gone crazy, be confident, trust in Him.

Triskaidekaphobia – Should You Be Scared? (Fun Word Friday)

No Comments on Triskaidekaphobia – Should You Be Scared? (Fun Word Friday)

The thing you need to ask when about superstitions is: Is Jesus alive? Did He die for you? And did He rise again? Because Christ died and rose from the dead, that means that God is good for you every day. No matter what happens in your life, it’s going to work out just fine. You are the baptized. Jesus is going to carry you through, one way or another.

What is Faith? (What’s UP? Wednesday)

No Comments on What is Faith? (What’s UP? Wednesday)

Faith trusts that God is good in Christ, and that He saves sinners. The Canaanite woman knew that Jesus was for her and that He had to save her, that He wasn’t going to be any other God than her savior. The insults and deafening silence didn’t matter. What mattered was who Jesus is and what Jesus does. He’s the Son of God, and He saves. Even her.

God Isn’t a Monster in the Old Testament (Bad Theology Tuesday)

No Comments on God Isn’t a Monster in the Old Testament (Bad Theology Tuesday)

Some people think that the Old Testament God was an evil, violent monster but the New Testament God is nice, kind, and loving. But that’s just not true. This week’s Introit shows us, from Psalm 25, that it’s the same God throughout Scripture. In it, we ask God to remember His lovingkindness and mercies from *of old*.

The God Who Tells You No – to Save You (Lectionary Monday)

No Comments on The God Who Tells You No – to Save You (Lectionary Monday)

It doesn’t matter that Jesus has called her a dog, it doesn’t matter that He’s insulted her with a racial slur. It doesn’t matter because she knows something about Him: He was in Tyre and Sidon, in the Gentile region, for her. So when God tells you “No,” when it feels like He’s ignoring you, understand that before you even ask Him for help, He’s there. For you.

How Do We Know Our Interpretation Is Right? (What’s UP? Wednesday)

No Comments on How Do We Know Our Interpretation Is Right? (What’s UP? Wednesday)

First, the reason we look to the Scriptures at all is because they’re the inspired Word of God, and they tell us about God — the God who gave up His Son, who died and rose again. Second, what is in the Scriptures centers around the suffering and death of Jesus for us. And third, when we read them, it’s always going to be their proper context(s). Scripture interprets itself.

Lent Gone Legalistically Wrong (Bad Theology Tuesday)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date March 3, 2020
No Comments on Lent Gone Legalistically Wrong (Bad Theology Tuesday)

The decatastrophe of Lent occurs when we make Lent about ourselves — our change, our focusing on God, our doing things differently. We either enslave ourselves to some laws or to what we’re NOT doing (and how that’s so much better). Either way, it’s the Law ditch. Repent of making Lent all about you, and fix your eyes on the suffering and death of Jesus.
