Maybe preaching is . . .

Maybe preaching is more about inspiring people by reminding them of things they already know but have not really appreciated. Maybe what I should work on as a lay-preacher is making my sermons more memorable rather than admirable?

Hello!

 Hello! I recently listened to Seth Godin's thoughts on daily blogging (again!) and thought I'd like to give it a try (again). I have another blog ( attycortes.wordpress.com ) where I post some of my devotionals, poems, and occasional legal pieces (I'm a lawyer by profession), but I want a simpler platform where I can post some spiritual reflections on a daily basis based on books I'm currently reading and the like. So I'm giving this a try and see what happens.

Is God Good?

I notice that people’s objections to God’s existence or to his character and ways often involve judging him according to human standards. Thus, we say he is guilty of cosmic child abuse, of being a control freak, etc. We arrogantly presume  that we possess the omniscience and wisdom to know how God should govern the moral universe, forgetting how finite and ignorant we actually are. Moreover, our judgement of God can actually be a form of disclaiming responsibility and shifting blame for the results of our messing up the world and ourselves.

Simple Gospel

 For God so loved the world! (John 3:16) That's the good news in a nutshell. God loves the world and he showed us his love by giving us his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins.
