Happy John Coltrane day to those who celebrate! I'm currently listening to the greatest jazz album of all time Love Supreme. One of his homes and some of the most important years of his life were right here in Philly in Strawberry Mansion.

I’ve posted multiple times on here photos of Flash. Sadly, in the last couple days he got very very sick and we had to say goodbye to him earlier today. He was a beautiful Shiba and faithful friend. I miss him already.

So, a few months ago I made a Bible trivia app called Bible Buff for the iPhone. That was fun. It was a creative project that works another side of my brain. You can find it on iOS App Store.

My sermon this Sunday includes me complaining about DocuSign, an illustration from Charlton Heston, input from John Calvin, and a pastoral encouragement to avoid self-condemnation. So, all in all, a pretty normal sermon for me.

I created an iPhone app! The app is called Bible Buff. It's just a fun Bible Trivia thing. For those of you who grew up on sword drills deep in the evangelical sub-culture this app is for you. So, it's free with a couple of fun paid add-ons so check it out. apps.apple.com/app/bible-bu...

"For insofar as the church is conformed to the world, and the two communities appear to the onlooker to be merely two versions of the same thing, the church is contradicting its true identity." John Stott, The Message of the Sermon on the Mount, 1978. Page 17

My pastoral encouragement this Advent/Christmas season: take some time and serve the hungry, bless the refuge who moved onto your block, or spend time with an outsider - someone hurting that drives you crazy, or maybe be kind to someone having a bad day behind the store checkout counter, 1/2

In 1972, 90% of all Americans claimed a Christian affiliation. In 2022, it was 64%. 73% of Americans were white Christians. Now, it's 47% 16% were non-white Christians. Now, it's 17%. All the drop in Christianity is a decline in white Christianity.

As a pastor I hate writing sermons on Saturdays. I'm just in a better place when it is wrapped by Friday. Thanksgiving falling on a Thursday always makes that a little hard, so I'm sitting here trying to write a sermon, but getting distracted by #Bluesky.

Hey @charliepeacock.bsky.social! As a 15 year old I bought your album Everything That's on My Mind. I listened to it a lot. It was good for my soul and my development as a young man to learn that "weakness is my testimony." Just a bit of encouragement from a random pastor here on Bluesky.

Thankful for the Lord's Prayer. Jesus teaches us we don’t come to God, our father, to manipulate him, but to be known and loved by him. We come to him, so we can be relieved of our fears and anxieties because we can give them all over to him.

In Matthew 25, Jesus describes true converts as being marked by a peculiar empathy toward the poor, marginalized, and incarcerated. But he describes false coverts as being outwardly religious but marked by a peculiar callousness toward the poor, marginalized, & incarcerated.

I finished James by Percival Everett a couple weeks ago. I'm still thinking about it today. A beautiful book that lays bare the horrors of American chattel slavery and also points to the power of reading, writing, and story. I'm glad it got recognized as the National Book Award for Fiction.

Sometimes you just need some John Calvin talking about the Lord's Supper in your life... "And so as we previously stated, from the physical things set forth in the Sacrament we are led by a sort of analogy to spiritual things. 1/
