Excellent commentary on a tremendous story.

Comment on War, Christmas, and the Kingdom of God by John G. Pierce

Very well stated. It is appalling the lengths to which people will go to find justification for killing. It is particularly appalling when Scripture is used, or misused, for such justification. Christians, especially in the USA, have lost sight of the fact that we are called to be citizens of another realm, the Kingdom of Heaven, a kingdom which will prevail without force of arms. “Not by might not by power, but by Mr Spirit, Says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6, NKJV.

I was upset because I had missed the sermon on the Song of Solomon. I look at the book from a different perspective for the most part. I was glad it was available at the church website so I could, and did, listen to it when I got back into town. Thank you, Gary, for your preaching, your outlook, your punny sense of humor and your caring for the congregation.

Comment on Love That Star Trek! by garydrobinson

Skip, I wish I’d've been able to bond with my dad over Star Trek. I wish I’d've been able to bond with Dad over anything. He loved me, but he considered my interests foolish. I’m glad that ST brings back good memories of you and your dad.

Gary! I, too, am rewatching and reliving the original series. The show was my second window into the realms of philosophy and sociology and futurism. The first window was my father, with whom I watched each of the original episodes as they aired. For me, ST:TOS was as much a bonding event as it was a form of entertainment.

IMHO, the first season was great but spotty (“Squire of Gothos?” “Shore Leave?” Yikes). Whereas the second season was spotty…but great. My personal faves from that season: “Assignment: Earth,” “Obsession,” and “Journey to Babel.” And my guilty pleasure: “Mirror, Mirror.” It’s high silliness, but just so much fun to watch.

But in a sense, all Trek is good Trek, because of its underlying ethos: man is basically good. Man’s future is basically bright. This human species thing is going to work out all right.

Comment on “Relevance Is a Crock” and Other Blasphemies by Evelyn in Oregon

Why do female preachers scare you? They probably aren’t my first choice, but I do enjoy listening to some of them (as long as they “tone it down” a little). Why not women? In our aged congregation, we have often laughed about the now-80-year-old woman who moved here decades ago from a strict fundamentalist Christian church and was almost overcome at Communion time when one of the serving elders was wearing cowboy boots! I know that has nothing to do with women, but she also has difficulty with women preachers. We’ve talked about “neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female” but then have gone on to read only the mention of devout women….with promises and guidance given only to the males. If we read only the words and ignore the culture, where do women fit in Scripture?
