Last Sunday we heard selections from the Messiah sung and played by our musicians, and hence no blog question arose. I could not find a question that matched the beauty of our worship experience.
This week George Minot is preaching from John 15:1-11. Read this passage three times, and imagine Jesus saying these words to you sitting at the dinner table.

Some passages invite something more than intellectual wrestling or emotional reflection. They take us . . .
