“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh, rather, serve one another humbly in love.” (Galatians 5:13 NIV) In a treatise titled The Freedom of a Christian written over 500 years ago, Martin Luther argues, based on this biblical text and others, that Christians are simultaneously free and bound. Christians are free from the law and…

The last time we considered Hebrews 12:1-2, we noted that this passage calls us to run the race well by doing four specific things: 1. Running by considering the cloud of witnesses. 2. Running by laying aside every weight. 3. Running by laying aside every sin. 4. Running with endurance by looking to Jesus. We also noted two important things regarding the passage. First, if you are not a…

“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:16) This is No. 9 on the list of things God hates most; that list being the Ten Commandments. Most often, this commandment is framed in a legal context of testifying falsely in court, but there are many additional ways people can bear false witness against a neighbor. All of those ways involve lying. Lying is the core sin in…

It's mid-June, and we are well into summer. School is done for the year, and all the school activities like football, basketball, track, volleyball and all the rest are on a break, at least for most. With summer break also come trips to the lake, family vacations, and with all those things to distract us, Sunday morning worship tends to be put lower on the priority list than other things. I…

Mine? I bought memory foam insoles so I could remember why I walked into the kitchen! First Baptist Church is doing some remembering right now. On July 4, 1875, a small group gathered with Rev. A.W. Hilton to discuss forming a Baptist church in Luverne. The church began meeting in the local school every other week, alternating with Methodist services. In 1876 the newly formed church adopted a…

We find ourselves at the beginning of the summer season, with Buffalo Days just underway and the promise of a full summer stretching ahead.

This past Monday was Memorial Day. Flags lined streets in many small towns and flew above cemeteries. Memorial Day, as we all know, is a day to remember those who have died while serving our nation in the military.  There were gatherings across our nation and speeches were given that were heartfelt and carefully crafted. Those who died serving in our armed forces died so that people like you…

The Gospel of John gives an account of a man who had been an invalid for 38 years. He is helpless in regard to helping himself to a pool (known to have healing remedies) which may help his condition. For 38 years friends, family, neighbors, strangers, no one helps him. Here we find him sitting on a mat.  This mat is a tool. A mat is used for sitting, keeping the heat off his bottom side. A…
