Welcome to "Monday Musings," a new series where Pastor Don (that's me!) is going to (try to) come to you every week with a new/interesting topic for discussion about life in the Christian community. I'll try to explain it as best I can, and hope that you'll come on over to the Discord server to continue the conversation!

In today's episode, we continue our lenten mini-devotional theme with an exploration of both the Old Testament scripture from this past Sunday's worship (Genesis 15:1-8) along with Matthew 6:1-8. 

Clearly we're feeling the first 8 verses of things this week.

For today, we meditate a bit on what it means to be a faithful servant of God (rather than just having faith), and work on our awareness of those forms of piety we use to shield ourselves from feedback and criticism. We talk about how easy it is for us to become convinced that just because we think God has ordained a particular thing to happen, that we know how that thing must therefore happen and, by wrapping ourselves up in those forms of demonstrative piety, we can wind up convincing ourselves and others that we are following God when, in reality, we're just following our own messed up methodology instead. That's what we're talking about today but...if you want to know more, listen to the episode!
