скука (feat. loju)

I think most people in this world already have most of their walls put up for comfort. Its a damn shame, because not all doors have to be closed when you see them. But we like to think we know how the world works, for comfort, and blindly shut so many things down. This isn't supposed to make my music any better, but its a damn shame.

Podcast Monday - Tyreek Hill and Fans Expectations 072125

Sometimes the enemy of the good is not the perfect, or even the bad, but merely the mindless. It is far too easy to fall into patterns of thought or behavior that lead us away from what we actually value without ever being aware of this shift. All of the necessary activities of life, and the natural worries that occupy space in our brains can be much more dangerous to our focus on what really matters than more direct moral challenges. In the familiar story, Martha's error is not that she was engaging in bad actions, but that she had not chosen what really mattered. We can make the same mistake without even noticing it. But that also means that if we pay attention we can make the better choice.

Choosing What Really Matters

Playful, snarky, country-pop song inspired by the type of women who are unrealistically determined to land the perfect guy and who tend to hold men to much higher standards than they can meet themselves. This song was inspired by a social media influencer I met recently who used social media like it was her therapist. She kept live updating her socials while we were on dates and took feedback from the comments like it was good advice. At one point she asked if she was the type of girl I could fall for.  

Ain't Fallin' for That

One of the most pernicious dangers for people of faith is assuming that Jesus's moral instincts match our own. Sometimes this looks like assuming that God hates the same people we hate (nope - God loves them, the same as God loves us). Other times that looks like assuming our moral justifications would earn God's sign-off (nope - God is perfectly ready to challenge us to do better). In both instances, our challenge is to remember that while we always see only in part, God sees the whole. And much as this challenges our biases and self-justifications, this reality is actually really good news. Because it means that even when God is rebuking us, this correction is a message of love. It is an invitation to expect more from God and from ourselves.

Not Putting God (Or Ourselves) In A Box

I'm not here to entertain you. Or give you things you want. This is my story, where everything's included, told from the side the observer. All things converge in one place, its chaotically beautiful.

Welcome to the sermon feed for Abiding Peace Lutheran Church: Journey of Faith. We would love to have you with us for worship, but if you can't join us on Sunday mornings, we hope these messages bring the challenge and grace of the gospel to your life.
