A place to ponder the awe and mystery of God in everyday life. Beyond Question: Why do you doubt? He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? It seems to me that Christians have often confused doubting with questioning. My first training was in medicine.

We Ain’t Poor | Soul Wiggles

A place to ponder the awe and mystery of God in everyday life. We Ain’t Poor. Sermon preached at Faith Lutheran Church, Janesville, WI on August 4, 2013 by Pastor Anne Andert. 8220;We Ain’t Poor”.

God Laughter Sarcasm Sci/Fi=Ministry. About Katy (or I believe). The Church being Born. Churches and #family the Socio-economics of #churchattendance. March 11, 2015. Why don't people go to church? Warning: this will be rant-ish. Know how churches don’t like that families and church no longer come first? How it is hard to get the typical family to church more than once a month? Plus who knows if you’ll have that job or even be able to live in that city in 1 or 2 or 3 years from now. This is the reality.
