Why and How I Am Tweeting

The wider culture values independence and autonomy above most other things, sometimes including respect for others. The messages are everywhere, from Burger King commercials promising you can “have it your way” to teenage-focused sitcoms that relegate parents and authorities to either the status of clumsy, hopelessly out-of-date nit wits or phantom-like incidental characters irrelevant to the young person’s premature explorations of adult themes and situations…  In this kind of culture, and with so many real life experiences with our parents, how can we honor God by honoring our parents even as we transition to adulthood and adulthood roles?

Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother

Some stirring quotations regarding missions.

Bad Title, Great Book

In light of last Sunday’s sermon on the church by Pastor Dae, an article on the nature of the church and what this means for Christians is posted.  May we all grow to love and serve this church that is already and will fully become a beautiful bride of Christ.

“In other words, against all inclinations of a mobile society, where we often seem to be in not only one but several transitions at any given period in our lives, we are called to belong. The church is not like a house that we think we’ve outgrown or a neighborhood that has lost its charm, much less a mall that offers consumers a panoply of choices, so that if we are not completely satisfied we can simply take our business elsewhere. If we find a church that truly preaches Christ and faithfully administers the Sacraments, treating God’s Word as the rule for life and doctrine, we should count ourselves “lucky” and bear the weaknesses that we will inevitably see once we get to really know the place.”
