A Matter Of Trust (Rev. David R. Heise)
Jesus still summon us to a way of living in a world that does not understand. And we must decide whom we shall hear and whom we shall follow. Shall we trust the voices of this world? Shall we give over our consciences to those who tell us that an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is the only moral belief possible? Shall we heed those voices which demand that if we hope to survive we will hit back twice as hard as we are hit, or find a bigger gun? Or shall we listen to another voice which tells us that for some things — the most important questions of life and death — Herod cannot be trusted? Perhaps wise men and women will hear that other voice which calls them to the back roads of life, roads which lead to peace on earth, good will among the world’s people.
Going Home for Christmas! (Rev. David R. Heise)
I wonder how many folks on Christmas Day, have ripped off all the ribbon and tore wrapping paper from holiday gifts, and still find an emptiness in their soul and spirit that no material gift can ever fill to the brim. When the last Christmas card fades away, how many will discover that while the business of the Christmas season disguises their loneliness for a moment, it is not for long. All the Christmas gifts and presents cannot make up for the lack of God’s presence in your journey of life.
