What lens are YOU using?
When I read today’s gospel passage, Jesus’ teaching on the end times, my first thought was how uncomfortable I remain with the entire notion of eschatology. And I wondered why this was so. What first occurs is that the church … Continue reading
What’s in a number?
The lectionary moved from Numbers to Deuteronomy today, but it was a number in the Deuteronomy passage that popped out from the page and sent me on a bunny trail: 3In the fortieth year, on the first day of the … Continue reading
Today’s whisper came along in the first psalm reading from today’s lectionary ( Psalm 131, 132, [133];Num. 23:11-26; Rom. 8:1-11; Matt. 22:1-14), suggesting something about authorship and knowing who is behind the words – these, or THE WORD, or anything else. Here’s the … Continue reading
