To Weed or Not To Weed
This week our scripture passage is the parable of the wheat and the weeds. Who wants a weedy garden? And shouldn’t we pluck out the weeds–catch them early–when we see them?
A Sower Went Out to Sow
This week our scripture passage is Jesus’ Parable of the Sower. It’s one of Jesus’ many parables that challenges us to consider how God’s goodness and grace get planted in the world and when/how/why the things of God grow! What seeds need to be sown? What difference does the soil make? And what qualities are called for in the Sower?
Life Long Learning
“To what can I compare this generation?” the text begins. Through the lens of a first-person second career Religion Major, this text is opened up with the hopes of living more faithfully, seeing more clearly, loving God more deeply all while getting an “A” on Life’s Midterm Exam. In Matthew is Jesus really asking us this question now? Today? At the same time our country is celebrating her semi quincentennial? Our work, our Life Long work is answering this question.
