The church is to speak God's covenant into the world. Could it be that we have mistaken a contract for a covenant and read the language of business into God's church?

Sister Flea

Jonah, smelling badly of fish guts, walked into the foreign city of Nineveh, screaming something about the city's destruction in 40 days. Now you know what should have happened -- they should have run him off as a crazy person -- yet the Bible says that they believed him. Do you have to give up your reason in order to read the Bible, or is there something going on here we don't give enough attention to? We will have to consult with a family of fleas to shed some light in this darkness.

What Am I Supposed To Do With The Annunciation?

The Candle of the Prophets

No audio today. I was at First Presbyterian in Ashland. But we raised the question: how is it that the writings of a nobody from a weak nation are still readily available to anyone who wishes to read. Isaiah and Mark are good examples.
