1 Cor 7: Singleness and Marriage (pt2 of 4)

February 14, 2012 By ray

How does the world view or encourage singleness? I want to be single because I want to be ultimately free. I don’t want to get married because my spouse may cramp my style. I want to be able to do whatever I want, when I want. This is the world’s view of singleness.… Read more

Quotes on The Wounded Healer (Henry Nouwen)

August 23, 2011 By ray

A minster is not a doctor whose primary task is to take away pain. Rather, he deepens the pain to a level where it can be shared. When someone comes with his loneliness to the minister, he can only expect that his loneliness will be understood and felt, so that he no longer has to run away from it but can accept it as an expression of his basic human condition.… Read more

Sometimes it seems as if we do everything possible to avoid the painful confrontation with our basic human loneliness, and allow ourselves to be trapped by false gods promising immediate satisfaction and quick relief… The awareness of loneliness might be a gift we must protect and guard, because our loneliness reveals to us an inner emptiness that can be destructive when misunderstood, but filled with promise for him who can tolerate its sweet pain.… Read more

Find Your Elisha: Reflection from 1 Kings 19:1-21

October 21, 2010 By ray

I have heard many sermons on this text, specifically how God comes not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire, but in a gentle whisper. Elijah had experienced an amazing victory over the prophets of Baal, but the experience had left him exhausted and alone. And in his fatigue and loneliness, God came to Elijah tenderly.… Read more
