Miracles? Still?

There is something about the very notion of the miraculous that offends most modern sensibilities. We think that a miracle is something from another, ruder, more credulous, age. Or we try to get around it by saying that “everything” is a miracle, thus, nothing is.

I’m not going to try to explain everything here, but if you listen to one or the other of these sermons I hope you will be convinced that there are miracles yet.

St. Mark’s Presbyterian 130609_StMarks

Oh by the way, when I was looking at the raw files for this week’s sermons it looked like they were the same size and my first thought was that I had somehow copied the same file twice. As it turned out, one sermon is 19:06 and the other is 19:12. I don’t think I could be that close even if I had written them out.

Thanks for reading and listening,

    Christmas!

    Christmas is one of the more evocative words in the English language. I don’t want to suggest that everyone’s immediate response to the word is warm and fuzzy but I’m pretty sure there aren’t too many people who don’t feel something when they hear it. For me, the word is a very pleasant one with…

    Who was that?

    Psychology has taught us all sorts of interesting things and one of the ones at the top of my mind at the moment is the concept of “priming.” This is the reason after you buy a new/different car you seem to see the same make and model “everywhere” when you never saw them before. It…
