There has been a transformation going on...

So a couple pictures to show the physical transformation going on in our lives but also so much more thankful for the spiritual transformation in our lives, the lives of others, and the church in general.  Our service last Sunday was as full of the Spirit as I have seen in awhile.  I remember Sunday night services at the little Turner Free Methodist Church where the 80 strong would belt out hymns in a building built for 120 maybe max and it would rock.  You could hardly hear the piano!!!  Now to see that kind of participation in this era with people just as excited about the Gospel and seeing His kingdom come and His will be done.  My heart was full of joy and I look forward to this Sunday.

We are handling the kingdom parables of Matthew 13 and this Sunday we will tackle 2 of them.  The first is the parable of the sower when Jesus tells His disciples that 3 out of 4 will hear the Gospel but either reject it, go with it until they feel resistance, or go with it as an add on in life with the other things of life choking it out.  Only 1 out of 4 will really take hold.  Then He tells the parable of the weeds and that we are to live among the weeds until the end when He sends the reapers and they are not us.  We are to continue to sow even as the world gets farther from God.  Now He gives the disciples some hope with the parables of the mustard seed and leaven.  I remember the old Gospel song "Little is much when God is in it" that is the parable of the mustard seed and a new song "From the inside out" is the parable of the leaven.

So here are the pictures.  The first is about 3 years old.  Pretty telling.


Here are some recent pictures of us.

Connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life - Spurgeon

     I heard this phrase today along with another that if you connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life, it will end up effecting all of your life.  This came up in my study of the book of James and specifically the verses dealing with not just being a hearer of the Word but also be a doer of the Word.  It is all about application.  I can't look at preaching the Word without giving steps of applying the Word.  It really is an incomplete sermon if I don't.      Many times I think it has to be big and many points and given cute aliteration that makes it snappy and I think easy to remember and fun to write down.  Reality is, if I would make it a bit of Scripture connected to a bit of life and just that it would probably accomplish much more.  How much time I spend on the opening statement and lame joke and research and introductions and how many points and the closing statement and so little time on connecting the bit of Scripture to the bit of life.      So I guess I ha

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlier in  Ga

Sermon prep and maybe a video...

     James 4 has brought up some interesting study.  First, "the quarrels and fights among you."  Those are usually worse than you think even though we try to minimize them.  The source is simpler than you think because it is coming from within you.  The solution is easier than you think because the solution that James gives is that we need to humble ourselves before the Lord.  Any sincere resolution is specific and brief.  Beware of lengthy resolutions that usually include explaining it away or excusing some of the behavior.      As I have seen before, the words are a sign of the heart.  I read this week that if we have a critical heart we usually start by speaking evil of another to ourselves.  Then we progress to speaking evil of another to that person with a running tally in our heads of all their wrongs.  Finally, we speak evil of another to others and broadcast in a way that we are thinking that we are helping.  Giving judgment is always easier than giving mercy.  I
