She doesn't look particularly wicked, does she?

Could our preoccupation with physical comfort be turned into something good for the world? Hm. We'll see. We read several scathing portions of Amos: 4:1-5, 6:1-7, 8:4-7. We also read a much nicer story in John 12:1-8.

This is the Coupland book that first named our first sin.

In a worship series for Lent, we're addressing several new (but really old) ways that human beings show how f***ed up we can be. In this one we're talking about our "willful neglect of reflection," a sin named in 199x by Douglas Coupland as a particular failing of Gen Xers. But Moses warned about it first in Deuteronomy 6.

Leviathan. It's not really making you feel better, is it?

Dr. Lance Pape, looking contemplative.

Lance Pape, a professor at Brite Divinity School (TCU) and our pastor's spouse, helps us think about how the world really works in God's care. Is it fair? Is it good? Is it simple? Hm.
