- 81 Critical Thinking
Send us Fan Mail
Summary: The lack of critical thinking got us into the pandemic surge and our current national crisis. Critical thinking has a great deal in common with the Christian life and, as we conceive it, will have a lot to do with how we lower the curve and move out of our polarization.

Send us Fan Mail
Summary: The Epiphany season sheds light on both the reason people ignore the simple things they can do to slow the spread of the coronavirus and on the actions of the invading mob in our nation’s Capitol yesterday. We have no sense of a common good. Christians can provide that with what draws us together, a living relationship with the one true living God, and our ethic of selfless and sacrificial love.

Send us Fan Mail
Summary: The celebration of Christmas as a 12-day Christian season goes counter to our culture’s observation of Christmas as a secular holiday. Sometimes, it also goes counter to our churches’ celebration. It can even be counter to our own practices. That’s a good thing.

Send us Fan Mail
Summary: Christmas reminds us that God keeps His promises. Christ was born when the time was right 1,000 years after the promise of His first coming. As we await Christ’s second coming, now for 2,000 years after the promise, we can know that God always keeps His promises, even if it takes what seems to us a very long time.

Summary: We share the good Christmas news of the Word made flesh with commonality and confrontation. “What did you do for Christmas?” “I heard a Christmas story that was disturbing but that meant a lot to me.”

Send us Fan Mail
Summary: Christmas is going to be celebrated a little differently this year as the result of the pandemic but also because of the increasing secularization of our culture. Let’s disrupt the disruption by focusing on the season. Let’s be counter-cultural. Let’s celebrating the whole 12 days as a religious holiday of sharing all the gifts of God in response to God’s great gift of God’s self in Jesus the Messiah, born to die for all humanity.

Send us Fan Mail
Summary: Advent is its own season, preparing us for the 12 Days of Christmas. It is also a season to reflect on the second advent, or “coming” of Jesus. We live in the already, but not yet, Reign of God. “There’s light at the end of the tunnel, but we’re still in the tunnel,” said California Governor Newsom. This is a good description of Advent, as well of the need to remain vigilant in doing the simple things we can do to slow the spread of the coronavirus, literally save lives, and rebuild our jobs and economy.

Summary: We best hear a sermon when we are open to the Holy Spirit, who also inspires the sermon preacher, and act on the Holy Spirit’s transformational presence to share the good news and to serve all people in accord with God’s will.

Send us Fan Mail
Summary: Some people preach from a pulpit, but we all preach in our homes, our workplaces, our teams, and on the streets where we meet people. We preach the good news of Jesus Christ when we are the instruments of the Holy Spirit to proclaim the cross, that God entered human history to die for their sin, and to name the name of Jesus Christ.
