Who Would Jesus Bomb? |
In the shadow of expanding Middle East conflict, we need to evaluate our stance as followers of the Prince of Peace. As the English Baptist minister Charles H. Spurgeon stated back in 1858...
Our job is to pray that world leaders would make decisions leading to peace rather than war...
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (Timothy 2:1-2)
"Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God"
~Jesus (Matthew 5:9)
Peace, Love and Light!

Rock Mass for Sunday April 7, 2024 - Earth Day Edition
We have been entrusted by the Father to be custodians of his Creation, it is our
responsibility to care for and protect the Earth. The Earth is God's primary revelation of himself, his ever present means of revealing his great creative power and his loving provision of the life giving miracle that we call home - Earth. What a powerful witness it would be if those who claim to love God and who want to evangelize the world would actually protect and care for God's Creation.
Peace, Love and Light!

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".

Rock Mass - Easter Edition 2024
When I see politicians peddling Bibles I can't help but think of this illustration by David Hayward titled "Jesus Overturning".
Jesus wasn't very tolerant of financial and political power mingling with the religious system of his day.
We would do well to keep in mind whose tables Jesus flipped over and whose tables he ate at.
Peace, Love and Light!
