RevMerle: Musings and Mutterings on what I see God up to in this world.: RevMerle

“Who to You say that I Am?” Mark 8:27-38

This is the age of the Opinion Poll. There isn’t a week that goes by where we aren’t bombarded by either a request for our opinion, or information about one. I can’t get a Latte or a burger without being handed an opportunity to respond to a survey. “Tell us how we’re doing….” “This […]

“No Business Being There” Mark 7:24-37

“You really had no business being there in the first place…” I remember that stinging assessment from my parents on more than one occasion when I had managed to get myself into some kind of trouble. “What were you doing there in the first place?” my father would scold. It is a familiar story, finding […]

“Pot, Meet Kettle” Mark 7:1-8;14-15;21-22

“Oho!” said the pot to the kettle; “You are dirty and ugly and black! Sure no one would think you were metal, Except when you’re given a crack.” “Not so! not so!” kettle said to the pot; “‘Tis your own dirty image you see; For I am so clean – without blemish or blot – […]

“What Armor?” Ephesians 6:10-20

We come to the end of our look at the book of Ephesians with this well known metaphor of putting on “the full armor of God.” Somehow this image “rings” with us. Maybe you, (like me) remember a Sunday School lesson where the craft activity was a cut out paper doll and we got to […]

“Be Careful How You Live.” Ephesians 5:15-20

“Be careful how you live…. because the days are Evil.” That’s the phrase that lept from the page for me this past week as I read Ephesians. That could have been written about our time, and not a time 2000 years ago. The days are indeed evil or they seem to be. There is so […]

Narthex Enhancements

The last piece of Narthex Enhancements has been put on temporary hold while we secure funding for the project. Life is what happens when you are planning other things. When we started this project we did not foresee the death of an Air Conditioning Unit nor the opportunity to become involved in the Internship … Continue reading Narthex Enhancements

The Currency of Gracious Leadership

Continuing our look at Dr. Eric H.F. Law’s book, “Holy Currencies” Six Blessings for Sustainable Missional Ministries we turn our attention to currency of Relationship. This is based on the “Three Degrees of Influence” theories from modern research. You might remember the old “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” where people tried to make connections to a celebrity? … Continue reading The Currency of Gracious Leadership

A Public Witness

Sometimes what we do speaks more loudly than we intend. That certainly is the case in the central event of our history as Lutherans. When Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the Bulletin Board of his day (the academic church door in Wittenburg) his intention was to draw the attention of a few of … Continue reading A Public Witness

MLM Northland Little Library

Read a good book lately and want to share it with others? Have your kids outgrown their books and need room for new ones? MLM has a “Little Library” at their downtown location that has been lacking for some new reads and the program has been so popular that they are starting a new “Little … Continue reading MLM Northland Little Library
