Scripture Reading: Luke 19:28-40 Sermon: Irrepressible. Holy Week starts. Jesus rides into Jerusalem, on his way to a cross. People shout praises, the temple authorities don’t like it, suggest that Jesus should tell his disciples to be quiet. He replies, If they were silent right now, the very stones would cry out. Whatever is happening in this week of mystery and pain, death and life, however God is working now, it is irrepressible. Not even human incomprehension will keep it from emerging. Or, rising.

Something is wrong
ReplyDeleteThe news networks covered an Atheist Convention where non believers were protesting religion/God. I was shocked to see one young woman holding a sign "Man created God". I find it hard to believe that during Christian's holies weeks the Atheist parade around. I only pray for them that someday they will realize that "God created Man" before it's too late for them.
Um, Holy Week isn't until next week. And don't forget that Jews observe Passover next week as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Reason Rally was NOT a protest of religion it was a gathering to advance secularism and humanism which are valid systems of living just as your religiosity is for you. Try informing yourself about the facts.
