Gift

The temple in Jerusalem was a gift from God to Israel. In its destruction in AD 70 the gift was opened for all of humanity. Its contents poured out like streams in the Negev, much like tons of flowing water bursting from a broken dam. The water never runs out; God is all in all. This was the thrust of Jesus' message to Israel.

Not Listed

"Scientific evidence for the existence of God" is not listed among the "fruit of the Spirit" in Galatians 5:22-23. The things that are listed cannot be measured and examined with state-of-the-art technology.

Ahhh, Look at All the Lonely People

The events of yesterday, originating from the Staples Center in L.A., then simulcasted all over the world, demonstrated to me that there a lot of desperate, lonely people out there.

What can be done about this?

WIJDRN??

Remember "WWJD?" Well, forget it!

I'm starting a new movement called "WIJDRN?"! It stands for "What Is Jesus Doing Right Now?".

It's an attempt to restore an awareness of the Real Presence.

Feel free to market this idea if you want. I have no desire to make millions of dollars. I'm just going to talk about it in my sermon.

Party!!!!

I think Jesus is like a man at a New Year's Eve party wishing everyone a Happy Birthday.
