How Many "Masters" Do You Serve?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

If victory could bring peace, why don’t we have it?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Sun “rising” or Earth rotating, it’s a marvel either way we think of it. Our senses tell us one, our minds the other.

That we know the how does not diminish our awe or our need for it to happen. So, too, with your love.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Well, I suppose you could serve two masters, if one of them is the Roman imperial army. That would never conflict with serving the Almighty.”

[No way He said this, so I don’t know why so many Christians act as if He did.]

D. Blog: Marking Our Way

We age. We mark birthdays, anniversaries, major events in our lives, retirement. They matter to us as milestones on our path in our earthly life.

What about our spiritual lives? We speak of “conversion,” “confirmation,” “baptism”, “new life.” But do we observe the anniversaries of these transitions in the walk with God? Wouldn’t that be a great tradition? How can we start it?
