The earliest surviving letter we have from Paul the Apostle is not a theological treatise—it is a love letter.
As we wrap up this week, I really appreciate this simple verse of scripture.
As many of you know, I play in the Gathering Band on Sunday mornings.
I have written in the past about how it can be good to pray the psalms, especially if you don’t know what to say when you pray.
I have to be honest, I’ve always looked at verses that tie God to might or martial prowess with a little bit of side eye. It just doesn’t fit well with my understanding of God.
I have heard this so many times: “the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone”.
Sometimes the evidence is standing right in front of you, and you just have to call it out.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
