Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2025-594: Advent Calendar: Day 24, The Anticipation

Children may look at today as the last day before Santa Claus.  Okay.  They are children.  They are full of anticipation for the glorious morning tomorrow.  Wouldn’t it be great if adults could feel that way about the return of Christ?

I don’t expect Him to return this week.  One reason is He told His disciples that He would come when least expected and since everyone is excited about red heifers and all the parts of the temple being collected, my conclusion is, “Not now.”  I could be wrong.  I would love to be wrong.  I would also like to lose weight over the Christmas holidays.

What does that have to do with Christmas?  If Jesus had not come He could not be crucified.  If He was not crucified He could not be resurrected.  If He had not been resurrected and assended He could not come again.  All those happened.  The last is coming.

Count on it.  Live like it.

Merry Christmas
