Holier than Thou
October 23, 2022
- The Rev. Dr. Luke Lindon
- Communion of Sinners
- Luke 18:9-14
- Medina United Church of Christ Congregational
I have spent much of my life like the Pharisee in today’s scripture. I might not be perfect, but at least I’m not Hubert. A “Holier than Thou” attitude, a “I’m better than you” stance is no way to go through life.
Persistent

I like how philosopher Soren Kierkegaard thought about the act of praying. Praying doesn’t change God; it changes the one who prays. By naming what we need to name, by taking time and speaking to God, we are changed.

Have you felt out of place, like you are residing in a place that wasn’t created with you in mind? A place where you have to struggle just to get by?

I know that to be compassionate as God is compassionate means the dismantling of barriers that exclude. It means destroying that chasm that exists here and now between us.

Indeed, we are not whole. We continue to worship an idol of war and revenge and blood. We have yet to turn to God and seek peace for that is the harder path. We would rather God put people on crosses than die on one, but that is not the God we have.
Alive on the Square 2022
August 30, 2022
It’s good for us to remember the story we’re caught up in and we’re a part of. It’s good to remember what we are about and who and whose we are.
True Worship
August 21, 2022
When reading scripture, we often picture ourselves as the hero in every story. We’re Peter, but never Judas. We’re the Samaritan, never the guy in the ditch. We’re Jesus, healing… never the woman unable to stand up straight. We’re definitely not the religious leaders complaining that Jesus healed someone at a worship service… you know… ON THE SABBATH… which you just don’t do.
