Go to the Ant, You Sluggard

30 January 2019 By David Trounce

Ants for the Sluggard - sermo humilis

The bible is not a scientific book, it is argued. And I agree. It is way more than that. It is the final and only infallible authority on all science. It tells us how the world is made, how it is sustained, what it requires to flourish and how a lion kills its prey. Nothing … [Read more...] about Go to the Ant, You Sluggard

Weakness is the Way

30 January 2019 By David Trounce

When Weakness is the Way - Luger - sermo humilis

Nobody wants to be called weak, at least, not by the world's definition. The world despises the weak and has a habit of crushing them. There is a weakness that can get you crushed. But it is a weakness that's worth having. When God visited His people on the mountain at Horeb, … [Read more...] about Weakness is the Way

Feasting with Laughter

28 January 2019 By David Trounce

Feast for Laughter - sermo humilis

The hospitality of encouraging words does not always have to be grey or dull. Take communion as but one example of the many feasts we celebrate. What does the Lord's supper look like in your church?

Meet the Fool

28 January 2019 By David Trounce

The Wise and The Fool Proverbs 9.10 - sermo humilis

The fool despises wisdom and discipline. But this not what made him a fool. This is just the evidence. What made him a fool happened way back when he decided God would not be his starting point. The fool is a fool because God is not axiomatic. The fear of the Lord is the … [Read more...] about Meet the Fool

She Lied Like a Trooper

26 January 2019 By David Trounce

Rahab Lied Like a Trooper - sermo humilis

There is no getting around the fact. Rahab, a prostitute, had a choice to make. She could tell the truth and send two godly men to their death or she could lie like a trooper. Rahab chose to lie like a trooper because she was one. Rahab was prepared to go up against her own … [Read more...] about She Lied Like a Trooper
