    Contributed by Augustine Of Hippo on Jun 1, 2011
     | 6,921 views

    A classic sermon by St. Augustine on the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5.

    Chapter 1 1. If any one will piously and soberly consider the sermon which our Lord Jesus Christ spoke on the mount, as we read it in the Gospel according to Matthew, I think that he will find in it, so far as regards the highest morals, a perfect standard of the Christian life: and this we do not ...read more

    Righteousness greater than that of the Pharisees isn't about behavior: it's about bone-deep transformation.

    We’ve been shocked and horrified once again this week at the shooting of children by children, from Santee CA to next door in Pennsylvania. And the commentators and pundits are asking once again what kinds of laws we should pass to keep this from happening. Most are honest enough to admit ...read more

    Murder Mystery

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 10, 2011
     | 4,268 views

    Anger, the impulse to destroy, is the direct opposite of love, the force which gives life. This is why anger is equivalent to murder in the eyes of God, who looks on the heart.

    Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. Or maybe you're not that vain, or not as self-conscious.

    The system of sexual morality which begins with God operates on three levels, in three dimensions. First it binds the individual, then the couple, and finally the entire society. And each dimension reflects something of the nature of our Creator.

    So what is all this fuss over marriage about, anyway? And why shouldn’t any two people who love each other be given the blessing of church and state? Come to think of it, why should it be limited to two people? After all, David had any number of wives, at least 8 that we know of not ...read more

    Responding to unfairness and disrespect with grace and generosity imitates God’s own treatment of us, and requires three preconditions: realism, humility, and trust.

    I had a difficult decision to make this week. I had to choose between continuing my series on the Sermon on the Mount, or take a break to preach on Palm Sunday. But the more I looked at the passage for this week, and meditated on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem that long-ago Sunday afternoon, ...read more

    Our behavior should reflect our relationship with the perfect God, rather than our relationships with imperfect people.

    Once upon a time, long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, that passage from Matthew changed my life. Well, it wasn’t another galaxy, exactly, but it was certainly another world. And it certainly feels like a longtime ago. I started working for the Pillsbury Company over 30 years ago. ...read more

    As salt and light, Christ's followers are to be change-agents in the world, making God's kingdom real on earth!

    For most of my thirty years of life, I have thought of salt simply as a seasoning. Like pepper or curry or Mrs. Dash. Salt is something added to food to alter the flavor a bit; at least, that's the way I looked at it, until about a year ago. I took notice when my husband sat down at the dinner ...read more
