The Goodness |
12:17 min |

The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the 3rd Sunday in Lent. Lent is a season of repentance. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God's invitation to attentiveness:"incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live." |

A critical factor in Lent is to stay connected to others. This is not a time of suffering alone but of strengthening and supporting each other and experiencing God in your life. |

And it Was Good |

Witnesses to the glory of God in the face of Jesus will be unable to avoid reflecting that glory in the world. It was true for Moses. It was doubtless true for Peter, James & John. We pray that it will be true for all of us who see the glory of God. |

God in a Box |
15:31 min |
| |
The glory of God is often revealed when and where it is least expected. God uses our lips to declare that glory, inexperienced and hesitant though they may be. God usese our love to demonstrate that glory and so urges us to exercise it. |

The glory of the Lord is revealed in the reading of scripture. People stand at attention. People weep. People prostrate themselves in prayer. The unity of the church is another reflection of the glory of God. The promises of God are fulfilled in Christ. |

The Sundays after Epiphany continue to celebrate the revelation of the glory of God to us as it was made known to the magi and to those on Jordan's banks at the baptism of Jesus-today using wedding imagery. In Jesus Christ the best wine is save for last. |

Advent 2: Saint Nicholas |
16:38 min |

Forerunners and messengers advance the advent of our God. While John the Baptizer's voice in the wilderness may be the principal focus of the day, Malachi's prophesy could as easily herald the coming Lord Jesus as forerunner of the Lord of hosts. |
