Words that Matter - Shame - Sermo Humilis

Shame is man's ability to feel and express his humiliation for guilt. As a general rule, where there is no guilt, there is no shame. However, it is also possible to be so debased, so far gone, that you no longer feel your shame. Shame, where it exists, is powerful and … [Read more...] about Shame

The Tender Heart - Sermo Humilis

In John chapter 11, we come to the last and most monumental public miracle that Jesus did. The raising of Lazarus from the dead. There is one later miracle, but it’s in the dark and very private because of how it happened. That miracle occurred on the night of the Lord's … [Read more...] about The Tender Heart

Comparisons are inevitable. The fact is, there are some seats over here, and there are some seats over there.

There’s a Lion in the Streets

There's a Lion in the Streets - Sermo Humilis

I've been banging on about courage and risk for some time now, and this will continue to be necessary so long as the world keeps banging on about fear and safety. It is no burden to repeat myself, and it is good for you (cf. Philippians 3:1). Alongside the godless … [Read more...] about There’s a Lion in the Streets
