Salted with Fire

Sep 29, 2024  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Jesus' hard words about millstones, severed hands, and Gehenna are a call to Christian integrity, a life aligned in every part around his name. John's complaint about an outsider casting out demons, like the Advent police scolding a new Episcopalian, exposes tribal thinking. A son's remark after a sermon on the Good Samaritan, that his father was the priest who walked by, shows how closely others watch, and why no compartment of life can be kept from God.
