Twelve Enough

We are dealing with and working with people. Some of these people have

their own religious story and others do not, but they are all people with

their own struggles, worries, and ideals. It is important that in working

with people in the political arena that we continue to share and show the

love of Christ to all that we encounter.

the Bible should be used for more than just a passage to guide the sermon,

but can inform and guide every aspect of worship. In fact, scripture should

do more than just offer some prayers and a sermon text, but could and

should give a believer a “grammar” for being a Christian.

The rest of the conversation that we heard in episode 3a, “Are You Proud,

Mary?” Doug and Anthony like to talk. They like to talk a lot, so in this

episode we hear the rest of what they had to share. No main topic, but

listen to the rest and understand what a big deal it is to not only have an

Orthodox and a Catholic with a Baptist, but also what a big deal it is to

have two libertarians with a “socialist” (or so claims Doug about

Jonathan).

Each gospel offers a different perspective of Jesus, a different approach

and understanding of who Jesus is and there may be some wisdom to this. You

can never know someone fully through just one perspective, so with four we

find a greater depth to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Perhaps then

you can try to offer a fifth perspective (and we always like a fifth) –

which would be yours. Listen to the episode, their pithy summary of the

different gospels, and consider what your story of Jesus might be.

There is a real problem with the amount that some have in comparison with

the amount that others have. It is a problem when some are living in lavish

excess and others in the abhorrent squalor. I suppose you could say that

they are in favor of sharing the wealth. ... The voice of religion needs to

have a place at the cultural table when considering matters of economics.

There is something deep-seeded about religions (most of them) that pulls

people to consider again and again the least of society and to ask how

certain policies and practices are effecting them. So it is economic as

well as political, but that is no surprise.
