What is our Mission and our Message?

In light of the violence that took place in our Capitol on January 6th, I feel that the Church really needs to ask itself how shall we respond - what is our mission and our message? We are to preach the Gospel... The message of God's love for humankind made manifest in Jesus Christ. Let's live our lives as letters read by everyone, preach the Gospel... use words if necessary.

 

 

Peace, Love and Light!

Who Are We Talking About

I think that it's time for the Church to get back to the Gospel message.

Whatever happened to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment? I'm afraid that we have lost our prophetic voice and our moral standing.

I'm not saying that we can't speak out about injustice, no... I'll be the first one to speak out. But the Church has carried the water for far too many politicians for far too long.

We're supposed to be the separate, called out ones of God but we've become enmeshed with the political system and have lost our uniqueness.

"For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2)

The inspiration for creating "Rock Mass" came from the Rock Mass at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena California back in the early 1970’s. On the first Friday night of each month All Saints held a Rock Mass which was a mix of traditional Episcopalian Mass and rock concert. A live band would play popular rock music which couldn’t necessarily be called “Christian” but contained spiritual phrases and references to God or Jesus. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s there was an explosion of these songs coming out of the "secular" music industry way before there was “Contemporary Christian Music”, in a way, it could be called "The Gospel According To Billboard's Top 10".

Happy New Year - 2021

 

Happy New Year! Not sure how "new" this year will look but we sure could use a bit of the advertising magic of "New and Improved" right about now.

Our mission as followers of Jesus has been and will always be to spread a little light around the darkness, add some spice and keep peoples lives from decaying.

I'm looking forward to a re-energized focus for 2021.

As always,

Peace, Love and Light!
