Because the congregation I serve is about to launch its new website, some have asked whether sermons or videos of our services could be posted on the site. Although this makes perfectly good sense and is commonly done, I quake and balk and drag my feet. It is one thing to stand before a gathering of folks that I have come to mostly know and deeply love and proclaim something to them on God's behalf within the context of worship. It seems like something else entirely to have those words or images available to ... whomever. whenever.
So while I wrestle with questions about the website, I thought I would challenge myself to explore something else during the season of Lent - an occasional blog. My hope would be to raise questions, to reflect on how faith, relationships and ordinary life are intertwined, and to point out how God is at work in and through the faithful people and lively ministries of Salem Lutheran Church.
"New every morning" is from Lamentations 3:22-24 - one of my favorite passages from scripture:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul,
'therefore I will hope in him.’
