  • Life Is Messy Psalm 119:1-7 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 (NRSV)
    Life is Messy Psalm 119:1-7 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 (NRSV) February 16, 2020 The Reverend Heather Morrison Yaden The Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township The first 7 verses of Psalm 119 make it sound like we can keep the law all on our own, but we know that is simply not true. We know that life is messy, and that we are not always spiritual people. We can focus our prayer ‘that our ways may be steadfast in keeping God’s statutes’. But we will not meet that goal daily, but we can keep the prayer a daily goal. We know that life is more than messy. It hurts sometimes. We know that we can be wishing it were different, but we cannot change the pain of living life as it is. We can seek to deny how it is and be fearful or ambitious or grasping. We can cry for things to go back the way they were. We may be hurt when things are not as we expect. We can seek to drown out the pain with alcohol or opioids, but that will not change reality. Recently a blogpost by Joshua Becker – about how he was affected by an article he read - clarified some of the issues that I think are prevalent in our culture. He writes: “Not only do Americans use more opioids than anyone else in the world, we are prescribed about six times as many of the pain-relieving drugs per capita as the citizens of Portugal and France. And almost twice as many opioids as the second highest nation on the list.

  • Our Anchor in the Storm St. Mark 4:35-41 the First Three Gospels
    Our Anchor in the Storm – June 19, 2016 By Wayne J. Schneider – Soli Deo Gloria (To God alone goes the glory) Our Anchor in the Storm St. Mark 4:35-41 The first three Gospels include the story of Jesus walking on Lake Galilee that stormy night. The importance of this story may be seen in where St. Mark places it: between the teachings of the kingdom of God and the disciples participation in it. The author states, "On that day," meaning when Jesus shared the parables of the growing seeds and the rapid spreading mustard bush, "when evening had come" Jesus and the disciples climb into a boat to cross the lake. The kingdom parables, growing seed (4:26-29) and mustard seed (4:30-32) are illustrations of the reign of God. The first explains how the kingdom grows through a process similar to nature. The second demonstrates that the reign of God will grow and extend like a wild bush that cannot be stopped. The Gospel writers now take us to Lake Galilee, which is familiar territory for the fisherman among the disciples. Jesus is tired from his ministry, so he climbs into the tiny boat with his disciples and has no need of a sleeping pill. A fearsome storm arises, and even the veteran fishermen are shaking in their boots. The boat is about to be swamped, and Jesus is counting sheep! Jesus' alarm clock is the disciples screaming, "Don't you give a rip that the boat is going to down, and we are going to die!?! They just thought they were afraid.

  • “Simply Irresistible” Texts: Psalm 139:1-12, Jeremiah 1:4-10 the Reverend Christopher A
    “Simply Irresistible” Texts: Psalm 139:1-12, Jeremiah 1:4-10 The Reverend Christopher A. Henry Morningside Presbyterian Church Atlanta, GA January 31, 2010 “Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.” Jeremiah 1:8 You have to feel sorry for the prophet Jeremiah. We don’t know how old he was. We do know he thought he was too young. Without warning or permission, the voice of God comes to him, announcing that before he was even born, he had been sanctified and appointed as a prophet. His weak attempt at resistance is futile, and before the end of this first chapter of his story God offers him this reassuring promise: “The people will fight against you, but they won’t prevail.” His head still spinning from the experience, trying to remember those words God spoke. Pluck up…pull down…destroy…overthrow… Jeremiah is sent to begin his career as a prophet to the people of Judah. The words he must speak to the people are not easy words. In fact, Jeremiah spends his entire life’s energy calling the people of God to get their words and actions in proper alignment. He expresses God’s frustration that those who call themselves religious are leaving their faith at the door of the sanctuary. They are self-righteous and ostentatious in worship but fail to live out the ethical commands of their theology. They preach justice but do not live justly. They are moving too quickly down the wrong path. And they are going into exile in Babylon.

  • Plenty Actually. Frederick Buechner, Writer and Theologian, Says This About His Name: “It’S My Name
    What’s in a name? Plenty actually. Frederick Buechner, writer and theologian, says this about his name: “it’s my name. it’s pronounced Beekner. If somebody mispronounces it in some foolish way, I have the feeling that what is foolish is me. If somebody forgets it, I feel that it’s I who am forgotten. There is something about it that embarrasses me in just the same way that there’s something about me that embarrasses me.” I totally get that. I have an unusual name and it’s actually my middle name. Try telling Medicare that I am not Jule C. Gill but J. Carlyle Gill. Or try telling the DMV. The government just doesn’t like middle names or doesn’t believe in them. When I go to the dentist, I have to say, “Listen if you call me Jule, I won’t answer. I’m just not Jule.” But the worst of it was when I was a child and the role was called for the first time in my first grade class. Carlyle can be mangled in so many ways. I always felt embarrassed and ready to crawl under my desk. The truth is: we are our names. That simple. Biblical people knew this without any explanation. A name was presence. So when they talk about the name of God, they are talking about the presence of God. Name – presence. Presence-name. Same thing. Like in our collects. We pray in the Name of Jesus Christ – in other words, in Jesus’ presence – right here and now.

  • Sheldon W. Sorge, Pittsburgh Presbytery, September 20, 2018 1 I
    Sheldon W. Sorge, Pittsburgh Presbytery, September 20, 2018 I May Be Wrong Psalm 1; James 3:13-4:3 I was painfully young, in my first full time job serving the church, when I encountered a controversy that had split down the middle the faculty of our small Bible College, where I was a brand-new faculty member. I had good friends on both sides of the division, and didn’t know whether to side with the dissenters or the defenders. Both sides had good arguments in their favor. How do you decide between two opinions when both can equally cite Scripture, theology, and even the Book of Order in their defense? I discovered dependable guidance in the James passage before us today. One side was peaceable, non-defensive, willing to yield, while the other was constantly on the attack and refused to give an inch. I cast my lot with those who were easily entreated, and my life’s direction was forever altered for the good by that decision. A good friend and elder from my first congregation was the first-rate editor of our city newspaper. When he retired some years after I had moved on, he agreed to edit a religious periodical well-known for its strong critiques of historic denominations, especially our own. He stayed in that role for many years, at the end of which he wrote me a letter, charging me with having defected from true faith, because I was living in the belly of the beast as a denominational official. He contended that if my convictions had in any way changed from where they stood those decades ago, I had gone rogue.
