Water Daily

Are you an insider or an outsider? 

Everything we have is in a sense on loan from a good and generous God, on loan to us to tend and nurture toward growth and fruitfulness. How are we doing? 

Another week, another Jesus story set in a vineyard. What can we learn from terrible tenants? 

My congregations are exploring the Way of Love this fall, especially what it means to live a Jesus-focused life in challenging times. On Fridays, Water Daily will take up the Way of Love topic for the week – today that is the second practice: Learn.

Does Jesus suggest the Realm of God for people who cut in line? How do we feel about that? Listen and explore!

More on Jesus' talking about the distinction between faith and religion.

This week we are looking at Matthew 21:23-32, another Jesus story set in a vineyard. Today we hear a story about an over-promiser, and an over-deliver. Which are you?

A new week of Water Daily - this time reflecting on Matthew 21:23-32, Jesus being challenged about his authority. 

The last in a week's series of reflections on Jesus' story about day laborers getting paid more than expected - today we focus on the Boss whose generosity exceeds all bounds. 

Today's reflection is on the spiritual practice of Turning - turning toward God, toward love; turning away from all that is not God, from all that distracts us from living in Love.
