Jesus tells us that we must deny ourselves, and take up our cross, and follow Him.

The Apostle Paul tells us to let our Love be genuine in Romans 12.

Our saints echo these loving messages in their lives.

Living a Romans 12 kind of life seems simple, but actually it takes a lot of denying ourselves, and taking up of our cross, and following Jesus to do it.

Dolly Parton's ability to love everyone and to be loved across all of our social and cultural divides was not an accident.

It was a life lived with humility, moral clarity, and genuine love for all.

We could use more saints like her. Maybe one of them could be you.

When was the last time you went to visit a place where you used to know everyone and everyone used to know you?

Change can bring out feelings of nostalgia and loss.

What if instead of facing change with fear like Pharaoh in Exodus 1-2, we faced it with courage; with a renewing of our minds and transformation as Paul encourages the Romans to do?

As St. Andrew's welcomes and celebrates the newest baby to be born into our church family, what is the church that we want her to receive?

We choose courage and transformation and the life of the world to come.

Come join us, if you want that too.

Have you ever been back to a place that was once familiar to you (and you to it) only to find that everything had changed?Maybe going back for a school reunion, or a hometown; going back to a place where you had worked; a place where you knew everybody and they knew you?The place was still the same:...

A couple of new polls about the feelings of Americans gathered by Marquette's Law School and the Pew Research Center show that the amount of trust we have in our neighbors is decreasing.

In an editorial opinion piece for The Hill, John Mac Ghlionn makes the case that this distrust is not accidental, but is actually an investment strategy.

What would it look like to begin to trust our neighbors again?

What would we need to give up and what would we need to take up?

The Scripture passages this week: Genesis 45:1-15, Psalm 133, Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32, and Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28 give us a start, if we have ears to hear.

“Oh how good and pleasant it is, when brethren live together in Unity.”In a provocatively titled editorial for the political newspaper, The Hill, opinion editor John Mac Ghlionn gives an answer to the question,“Why Americans hate each other more than ever.”The premise of the piece is based o...

You've certainly heard it said: There are only two kinds of people in this world...

But, what if Jesus' ministry is about reminding us that we are one kind of people: Those who are loved by God?

I got to confront a prejudice that I've been carrying about fi****ms this week as we welcomed some young men to participate in a hunter safety program through the Order of Naucratius.

It reminded me that culture and politics cloud our minds and our discourse.

It reminded me that our dichotomies on earth are not set in stone.

It reminded me not to give in to the notion that there are only two kinds of people in this world.

There was quite a lot happening at this church yesterday.We had a back to school parking lot carnival, where we hosted more than 100 kids and their families thanks to the amazing work of our ECW led by Vicki Washington.After our Juneteenth Block Party, Vicki worked with Ebony Stone from Voices of Pr...
