Fear to Folly

In the short story, The Parable of the Talents, Jesus warns us about being too fearful and cautious in using our gifts and resources in a creative, even risky way to advance His kingdom. He tells us that when we stand before the Judgement Seat we will have to give an account, not only of our deeds, but also of the things we failed to do.

Love in a Time of Crisis

Loving God and our neighbor can appear to be insufficient in a time of chaos, fear and death. “Surely," we tell ourselves, "we must do something more.” Yet it is by putting this teaching of Jesus into practice that we demonstrate our confidence in His redemptive Kingship. This is how the world will see our hope that God has not abandoned us even in our darkest hour. In Romans 12, Paul spells this out for us practically: Love must be sincere; hate what is evil, cling to what is good … as far as possible live in peace with everyone … overcome evil with good.

Unless You Go With Us

On Mount Sinai Moses asks God, 'Who will accompany us on the way to the Promised Land?' God says He will send an angel but Moses insists that the Lord must go with them. He argues that only He Himself, dwelling in the midst of Israel, will distinguish them from all the other nations. It is the same for us. It is not theology, traditions, or politics that make us distinctive in the eyes of the world. But that the reality of Immanuel/God With Us, is seen to be amongst us in the person of His Son, Jesus the Messiah.

Exodus 33:12-23 • Isaiah 45:1-7 and • Matthew 22:15-22
