There is a way the world looks at things, and then there is the way that God looks at things. There is a culture of the world, and then there is the counter-culture of God. There is a wisdom of humans, and then there is divine wisdom. There are worldly values, and there are God’s values. Today’s lessons are about these contrasts … especially the reading from Mark.

This morning we are going to baptize Hunter as part of our worship. Hunter is the son of Alex and Katie, and the grandson of Gray Mason. Alex and Katie live in California and are visiting in the Jacksonville area for a couple of weeks. I officiated at Alex and Katie’s wedding two years ago, so I am honored that they have asked that I baptize Hunter. Printer-Friendly Version
This morning we heard from the Song of Solomon as the reading from Hebrew Scripture. This is the only time in our three-year lectionary cycle that the Song of Solomon is read, and the Song of Solomon is one of the few books in the Bible where God is never mentioned in the entire book. |
