Easter Worship
As I started living with this portion of Scripture a number of weeks ago, I realized that in 15 Easter Sundays at Emmanuel, I have NEVER spoken on this text. In contrast, I've spoken 5 times on different parts of the Easter story in the gospel of John chapter 20. Of course, John's version is considerably longer, but still it was about time Matthew's version received some attention!

Reflecting on Lent
I’ve read through the Psalms many times before—one time I read them taking special note of all the different names for God. All the names are jotted down here and there in my old journals, scattered across the many weeks and months it took me to read the psalms that time. One day I’ll compile the entire list, but for now, it’s interesting to note some of the names for God that appear: “Lord” “my God” “my king” might be expected, but what about “my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold” (Psalm 18:2), “the God who girded me with strength and made my way safe” (Psalm 18:32), or the one that surprised me again during my current re-reading “a God who has indignation every day” (Psalm 7:11).
I’m reading through the psalms quite slowly this time—so slowly that I might not get through them all by the time Easter arrives. But getting through them all in record time is not really the point. Instead, I’m letting them sink in and take root, I hope. Did you give up something for Lent, or add a spiritual discipline? How is it going for you?
