The Fruit of the Womb

08 Jan 2016
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate (Psalm...

Faith on Earth

28 Dec 2015
Luke 18:1-8 When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8) What does this mean? In this Gospel lesson we find a widow who has nothing with which to persuade her judge—and an unjust judge at that—to come to her aid. Nothing but perseverance. Why did she...

The Blessing Is a Burden

17 Dec 2015
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on...

The Lame, the Blind . . . and the Pregnant?

  Behold, I will bring them from the north country and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; a great company, they shall return here. (Jeremiah 31:8) In considering this...

Abortion from the Pulpit

02 Dec 2015
  Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. (Psalm 130:1-3) There...

The Myth of “Us” and “Them”

23 Nov 2015
  Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts! (Isaiah 6:5) Abortion is perhaps the most polarizing “issue” in American life today. Given the stakes, it is...

Prayer and Perseverance

06 Nov 2015
O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law is paralyzed, and...

What do we mean by Pro-Life?

30 Oct 2015
Jeremiah 29:1-7 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce.  Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give...

The Tongue of the Taught

23 Oct 2015
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught (Isaiah 50:4). The above passage is one of the servant songs in Isaiah that...

Exposing Darkness

16 Oct 2015
 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them (Ephesians 5:11). It is one thing to refuse to participate in evil. It is quite another to expose it. Yet this is what light does. By its very nature, light dispels darkness, thereby revealing what is done...
