God

Most people have some concept -- often misconceptions -- about who God is. But what if you had to describe God to someone who had no theological notions whatsoever? You have a blank slate and one sentence with which to capture interest. Who is God?

Stumper

The Lord answered, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. But suppose the servant says to himself, 'My master is taking a long time in coming,' and he then begins to beat the menservants and maidservants and to eat and drink and get drunk. The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.


-Luke 12:42-48

Harsh words! Does this really mean that if we happen to be sinning at the moment when Jesus returns, we will be condemned? No wonder Luther was driven to obsession with confessing constantly. What about Romans 10:13: "For everyone that calls on the name of the Lord will be saved?"

Contradictory?

Death is Dead

I want so much to believe it, yet I'm afraid to hope.

Shhh.

We live every day in denial of our own mortality.

If I ever find the time, this is what I will write about.
