Tonight we hosted a Seder meal with my friend, Rabbi Steve Gross. It was a great night. He spoke about the heritage of the meal and explained its meaning and symbols, and then I spoke about how Christianity sees its relation to Communion and salvation. It was beautiful.

PRAYER OF ST. BRENDAN
"Help me to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown.
Give me the faith to leave old ways

AMEN.

N.T. Wright: "The church belongs at the very heart of the world, to be the place of prayer and holiness at the point where the world is in pain - not to be a somewhat 'religious' version of the world, on the one hand, or a detached, heavenly minded enclave, on the other."

Today I’m preaching on the reconciliation between Peter and Paul.
I’m reminded reconciliation cannot happen until you humble yourself.
The Lord opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Translation: It’s often helpful to consider that I might be wrong.

1. In the debate over whether social media caused the teen mental illness epidemic, the loudest voice is the complete absence of Gen Zers saying “no.”
I have spoken at many high schools. Not once did a student say that social media was on the whole good for them.

John the Baptist had an effective ministry because he didn't preach as an insider. He was accustomed to the wilderness and the margins. His physical and social location honed his voice and message. He made a way for Jesus without centering religious or political systems.

Never ever force a conscience.
Respect the conscience. Persuade the conscience. Teach the conscience.
But never coerce it with bullying, laws, or lies.
The conscience is that human constituency to which God speaks directly.
Honor the sovereignty of the Lord of the conscience.
