What we think we want is whatever we want, but what we want often ends up not being at all what we need. Coping with the desire to have our own way is one of the hardest posts of a faith that tells us to want it God's way.<a rel="payment" href="http://www.patreon.com/ErictheLutheran">Support the show</a>

Please God, don't give me what I want • St. James, Graniteville

I'm Rev. Eric Wolf, a pastor, writer, and musician. I've previously posted almost exclusively sermons, but I'm writing a book called Myth of a Dying Church, and am now also posting episodes about the topics in and related to the book. I believe strongly that the task of preaching is to engage Scripture as a mirror held up to our lives so that we can confront what we see with integrity. This image we engage helps us to understand what it means to be Children of God; gain perspective of what it means that our primary citizenship and allegiance belongs to God’s Kingdom; and discover how the love of God transforms what we see when we look at ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world that God so loves.
