“Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.” We believe in a mystery known in bread and wine A living God beyond history, incarnate in time In […]

“Oh how happy is the woman who believes in God, for his promises to her came true.” In May of 1976 this verse of scripture was on the cover of the Mother’s Day bulletin from what was then River Oaks Cumberland Presbyterian Church. I saved it and eventually decoupaged it on a plaque which hangs […]

“Honor thy father and mother.” When I was a young teenager, I participated in a Christian “flagpole” group that met before school. It was there that I met representatives from the local university’s Campus Crusade for Christ. When I asked my father to let me attend one of their meetings, he refused adamantly. Instead of […]

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.” When I read this, I realize that […]

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Everyone probably recognizes this part of the Lord’s Prayer, but do we think about what it means? For me, this request seems a little scary, yet magnificent. We are asking God to override our wishes and do His will. Sometimes I […]

After these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” Abraham answers God’s call, and trusts in his direction. Even to the extent of sacrificing his most beloved on the mountain. God calls upon us, and asks us to trust in his all- sufficient grace. But often we […]
