Fertilizer or Yeast
Late last year, I closed “Forgive the Confusion” by asking readers to stay tuned for a follow-up piece. What I did not know when I wrote that closing was how long readers would need to stay tuned. To paraphrase an … Continue reading

When the Light Fades
In some ways, every day is like the day before. The sun rises, and the sun sets. The wind blows, or leaves hang motionless from the branches. Rain falls, or dust fills the air. Yes, in some ways every day … Continue reading
One Man’s Treasure
Ah, parables! Merriam-Webster defines a parable as follows, “a usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle.” To me, biblically at least, parables are often riddles. Riddles, for the record, are defined as, “a mystifying, … Continue reading

What! Me Worry
AnOldSinner’s church pride’s itself on being “Monday morning relevant.” That means messages from the pulpit are designed to give congregants information they can use to live in the world while focusing on their relationship with Christ. One way to accomplish … Continue reading
A Question Unasked?
A sermon at AnOldSinner’s home church earlier this year focused on the subject of hearing God’s voice. It was a great sermon, and it clearly reinforced one of my biggest challenges. Listening to God is hard for AnOldSinner, and the sermon reminded … Continue reading
