Marian Anderson, American contralto; first Afro-America singer to perform at the White House
“Prayer begins where human capacity ends.”— Marian Anderson
Oh Lord! If only the American people would realize they have reached their end.

Received this emessage from an international prayer champion:
"Thanking God for you and your leadership in prayer. I think it was at a prayer conference when you were leading a time of prayer and offhandedly mentioned how you prefer praying with others rather than alone. (I don't remember the exact wording!) God used that comment to expand my understanding of what it means to grow in…

Lord God, please forgive us...
I AM GOD, no one else is God.
But:
We turned away from You, our God.
Please forgive us.
Don't make idols.
But:
We create our own gods - as many as we want.
Please forgive us.
Honor My Holy Name.
But:
We say God and Jesus, but it is not You we are talking to. We even use Your…

WHY I POST ON PHIL’S BLOGS
I am an unpaid, non-pastoral layperson… and a sinner. So why do I post on Phil’s blogs?
While I make no claim to prophecy, one of my life Bible verses is Ezekiel 2:1-3:11. But having been an accountant for my entire career, I have a difficult time proceeding until I’ve been held Accountable.
This may be best…

Have you discovered the truth of this statement by Jesus in the Bible?
“Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.”
Whatever you are living for will not satisfy or fulfill. You may think, if you just had a faster car, a nicer house and…

TRADITIONAL COLUMBUS DAY POEM - REIMAGINED
I am an unpaid, non-pastoral layperson… and a sinner. While I make no claim to prophecy, one of my life Bible verses is Ezekiel 2:1-3:11
I recently heard a sermon on waking up ourselves and the church (Rev. 3:1-6). Coupling that with a sermon I heard the week before regarding tolerating Jezebel’s/Judas’ (a male version of the name) practices as acceptable within the Faith (Rev. 2:18-29), a prayer of…

I want to address a subject that is in some ways difficult for all of us. I want to speak first to you who are not religious. There are many reasons for not being religious. And I cannot address all of them. Some of you may say that what I am about to deal with is not one of your reasons for not believing in God or for avoiding spirituality. Interestingly enough, the fact that this is not an issue for you may help you…

I went to an estate sale last week. I seldom attend one of these, except this one happened to be in the home of a long-time friend and colleague. I made it OK through the living room, even though I had to see the couch and chairs where my wife and I last visited with this couple, prior to his death. Then I safely navigated the den, kitchen, patio, dining room, bedrooms, even closets, until I found his office. That is where I lost it. There was so much in that room that reminded me of him,…

In John chapter 11, we read about Lazarus's death, where Mary and Martha sent word to their dear beloved friend Jesus to let him know their brother to Lazarus had become very ill. They expected Jesus to come immediately to heal their brother, but he did not come. Disappointed, they wondered why Jesus didn’t come right away.
Jesus had a different plan; he told the disciples, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through…

#ItSeensToMe...if we evangelicals were pro-life-for-life, we would look for ways to empower/equip those who choose abortion for primarily economic reasons.
What could happen to the abortion stats if the Church became an advocate rather that an adversary to those trapped in systemic poverty?
#ProLife has to be more than a preaching point or a taking a political stand.
Consider the commentary of friend/colleague John H. Armstrong:
Abortion rates in America continue to…

#ItSeemsToMe...
WANTED: leaders with courage to #ReimagineCHURCH... because the world we share good news with is rethinking basic systems. Agree or disagree, the call to defund police is a sign we need systemic change. Church, hold truth but review/revise models/methods.…

BUT IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE
Most of us have been troubled at one time or another by these words of Jesus.
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your…

#ItSeemsToMe…We May Talk Too Much When We Pray. Or Not Enough.
As I was preparing for a week-long trip out of town, I peeked ahead on the daily cartoon calendar we have in our kitchen. On the back of each day’s cartoon is a riddle or a trivia item, and this is what grabbed my…

I confess, I’m a huge Beach Boys fan. Love their surf, sand, and streets songs. But alongside Little Deuce Coupe, Little Saint Nick has become a Christmastime favorite.
One of their more experimental songs also…
