Another pastor recently accused me of “preaching a different Gospel” because our church is fully inclusive of all people.

Nah, man. It’s not different. It’s the same Good News of Jesus.

The only difference is we want everyone to experience it and you want to play gatekeeper.

This week's lectionary readings encourage us to remember the importance of confessional prayer. How could you better incorporate prayers of confession in your private and public life?

It will be our love, not our opinions which will be our greatest contribution to the world.

One of the most common questions I get asked when fundamentalists find out that I am a Progressive Christian: What if you have to answer to God one day?
My response: I would rather have to answer for being too loving than for being too condemning and judgmental.

“So may there be grace and kindness, gentleness and love in our hearts, especially for the ones who we believe are profoundly wrong. The Good News is proclaimed when we love each other.”

Warning: Long (but important) thread.

I was recently ordained as a minister of Word and Sacrament in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa. What a humbling experience.

Anyway, I am grateful that God has carried me through the past 11 years of testing, training and formation to get me to this point. May She continue to use me to be a vessel to serve those folk who need God's lifechanging salvation and abundant life the most.
