A Prophet’s Job Surely Isn’t Easy
In Friday’s reading (Jeremiah 20:10-13) for the 5th Friday in Lent, the Prophet Jeremiah was sure having a bad day. Of course, if we read the entire book attributed to him, we’ll see that he suffered ridicule and persecution for more than a day.… Continue Reading “A Prophet’s Job Surely Isn’t Easy”

We Proclaim Christ Crucified
Certainly we proclaim the Risen Christ. And we remember, especially during Lent, the road that Jesus walked prior to His resurrection. And so, with the Apostle Paul, We proclaim Christ crucified.
Shepherd Your People
We read from the Prophet Micah how God is like a shepherd. Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, That dwells apart in a woodland, in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old;… Continue Reading “Shepherd Your People”
