my father’s heart

September 18, 2010September 18, 2010 wally metts5 Comments

We all have this responsibility to demonstrate the love of God. But in healthy families it starts with dads. It must mean something when a child thinks of God as his father.

Dysfunctional families often turn inward, hiding their pains and focusing on their problems while healthy families turn outward, opening themselves to others, sharing God’s blessings without reservation.

too cool for the cross

References to Stephen Colbert and Lady Gaga, church sponsored screenings of R-rated films, and pastors with skinny jeans and $80 haircuts may not actually be what young people are looking for.

cremating the cat

July 20, 2010July 20, 2010 wally metts5 Comments

Now I can see why the depictions of human cremation involve really big piles of wood. Or a really hot furnace. It takes temperatures approach 2000 °F to get this done, and even then there are bone fragments and such that have to be ground into a powder.

The gospel does more than distinguish the church from the Red Cross. The gospel transforms people from the inside out.
