I did not post any devotions this week. My apologies. I hope to be back to publishing on Monday.
An Interesting
Article/Podcast
This article is from a blog that I subscribe to called, Science in Congregations. I am
fascinated by the conversation between science and religion. I’ve also been
intrigued by the way each has, at different times, operated in harmony with or opposition
to one another. I don’t know a lot about Drew Rick-Miller, the Lead Editor,
beyond that he studied physics and English literature at Northwester University
and continued his education at Princeton. His writing reveals that he
passionate about both science and faith, and I found this little article that
delves into some of the philosophy found in the scientific community
interesting and thoughtful.
Quote I’m
Pondering
Regarding the ideal of the Christian life, the, “ideal
shifted from self-denial to self-love, from self-love to self-culture, from
self-culture to self-mastery, and from self-mastery to self-realization.” - Rev. Dr. Michael A. Lockwood
If he is right, that is a really significant change.
One Good Thing
This Week
Last Sunday was Confirmation Sunday and six young people
stood before the congregation and confessed their faith in Jesus. That is a
beautiful thing.
Our Scripture
readings for Fourth Sunday of Easter, which is also Mother’s Day, are:
Over the years, I have learned that those who read the
Scripture lessons and spend a little time thinking about them before church on
Sunday get more out of the service.
The sermon is: Hear, Follow, Saved, Protected
