The Preacher's Blend: The Grace Rules
http://elmhurstchurch.blogspot.com/2012/03/grace-rules.html
A boomer PCUSA pastor trying to catch up with the future. Wednesday, March 07, 2012. The theme for Lent at Elmhurst Presbyterian Church is "Forty Days of Grace; How God's Grace Makes Us Just." God's unmerited favor toward us in Jesus Christ is meant to change you, to make you better as a person and to align you with how God wants the world to be. It is a challenge, because God's grace pulls you out of yourself into the world around you. Your life is blessed not by your own efforts, but by God.

The Preacher's Blend: A Year With Jesus
http://elmhurstchurch.blogspot.com/2010/09/year-with-jesus.html
A boomer PCUSA pastor trying to catch up with the future. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. A Year With Jesus. In this year of sermons and studies, I will be acknowledging my indebtedness to Michael Frost, an Australian missiologist whose books are very challenging to contemporary North American Christians. Especially pertinent to me is his recent volume, ReJesus: A Wild Messiah For A Missional Church. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. A Year With Jesus.

The Preacher's Blend: Advent promise--Peace
http://elmhurstchurch.blogspot.com/2010/11/advent-promise-peace.html
A boomer PCUSA pastor trying to catch up with the future. Monday, November 29, 2010. I have always struggled with how to preach the early lectionary texts in Advent. They are always so un-Christmas like. The gospel text for first Sunday of Advent is about Jesus' warning that his coming is as a "thief in the night." How does that square with our culture's approach to Christmas? No wonder so many people are impatient with Advent (when do we get to sing Christmas carols? The promise of Advent is peace, a pe...

A boomer PCUSA pastor trying to catch up with the future. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. My mother died on January 8, and I have been away from my blogging during that time of funeral arrangements and family activity. I thought about blogging during the process, and decided not to do it. I thought it might be a little too much. I do want to share the eulogy I wrote for my mom that was read at her funeral (January 14) by my brother in law. EULOGY FOR MARY SUE FIVEASH LYDA (1923-2010). As she faced the possibl...

A boomer PCUSA pastor trying to catch up with the future. Tuesday, February 16, 2010. No one can answer that question with any clarity right now, but we still have to go on being church to the best of our ability. I will have a small contribution to make to that process, and I am gratified to be in the position. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

http://elmhurstchurch.blogspot.com/2009_12_20_archive.html
A boomer PCUSA pastor trying to catch up with the future. Saturday, December 26, 2009. The Practicality of Being Christian. After Christmas, it helps to remember that Christian life is just that: it is a life, not a set of beliefs or rituals. Much of the damage we can do is because we somehow allow ideology or tradition define Christian faith rather than the particular way of life it is supposed to be. Choose compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with and forgive each other.
