He's got me thinking...

In a recent blog post, the pastor at the church we are currently "investigating" says this:
"There is NOTHING, nada, not one-single-thing, not one-single-action, no intention, no inclination or smallest glimmer of our most minute desire that recommends us to God.  I’ll even up the ante one further: I actually believe that the very BEST things we’ve ever done – the most pious, most religious, most holy, most selfless act of obedience, with the purest motives we could possibly muster on the best days, if rightly accounted for, would be in the debit column of our lives, NOT the credit column."

Death of the husbands

Jean F. Larroux III, Senior Pastor at Southwood Pres made the following comment about Ephesians 5 admonition to husbands and wives

I paraphrase here

When the Bible says 'husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church, and wives submit' - the culture hears 'the death of the wife', but what Christ intended was the 'death of the husband'
Hmmm...sobering, and true, because Christ loved the church, and sacrificed for her even to the point of death.
