“Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls.” (Psalm 42:7)

Deep calls to deep, and not just at the roar of God’s waterfalls. The gospel message penetrates into the deepest part of your being. 

I believe that people don’t actually live out of their heads, but rather out of their hearts. We are all so full of hurt and disappointment and inner conflict, however deeply or successfully buried, that most of what we do in life is cry for help and a plea for love and acceptance. Theology is not just a head game, but a heart game. Which is why we need to hear about the forgiveness of sins and the cattywampus love and grace of God every single day, several times a day. That is what people need, almost exclusively.

“O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Third Sunday of Easter – BCP)
