Adapted from a sermon preached on Exodus 20:1-17 at First Presbyterian Church; Pontotoc, MS, March 2018.
I’ve never really been a fan of official New Year’s resolutions. But here we are kicking off another trip around the sun — and this year I’m determined to make more and to write more. I made myself a sticker chart for motivation, so there’s no going back now.
Adapted from a reflection on Psalm 27 for a joint campus ministry Advent devotional; Oxford, MS, November 2017. (See the original devo here.)
During the season of Advent, we hear a lot of “wait for the Lord!,” and this psalm certainly doesn’t leave that out. But as I reflected on the rest of it, I found one of the most striking parts to be the way the psalmist so explicitly names all of the things they’re up against. Evildoers devouring flesh, adversaries and armies encamped. War and false witnesses breathing out violence…
And still, the confident claim…
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
