Our congregational mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who love God, love each other, and serve in the world. How are we doing? Are we on target? Are we making disciples?
What does it mean to make Jesus’ disciples?
Need loving God, others, and serving the world all be in place?
Is making disciples a competitive race?
Are we making disciples if there are some we offend?
Must the disciple learn to do endless backbends?
Are there step-by-step instructions that could fit on a cereal box?
Is there a shot we can take, like for chicken pox?
Does a disciple need the church for advice?
Won’t coffee at St. Arbucks actually suffice?
What about the golf course, or soccer game, or shopping mall?
Is there really any need for the church at all? |

Which do you like better sour or sweet? I much prefer sweet, especially when it comes to people. Have you ever noticed how the older people get the more they become one or the other, sour or sweet, grumpy or grateful? You know what I mean. I'm talking about the grumpy people in your family who harp with increasing frequency and disgust on the same issue year after year. And then tragically, in the ripeness of old age, the sour toxins of their grumpiness have their poisoning and hardening effects. The pretense and posturing of younger faces fully fall away. Everything becomes sour for them. |
