Church was good today. There was a lot going on (see bottom of this post). There was a lot to think about.
In the New Testament Reading, we have the idea that if you don't work, you don't eat. To me, this has always been an anti-socialism scripture.
In the Gospel Reading, the idea of both persecution coming and how if we endure, it will save our souls is both encouraging and terrifying. Also, the warning of false messengers reminds me of the cult that I just found (Eastern Lightning).
The homily, given by The Reverend Dr. Tim Elliott gave me a new way to look at the Gospel according to St. Luke, how he was a story teller, loved stories, was a physician, and collected stories for his Gospel account, including the manger with the angels, John the Baptist moving in Elizabeth's belly, and so much more.
