I’ve got a barn on my property. It’s red - which I believe is a law. But since I’m not a farmer, it’s not filled with cows and hay. It’s filled with lots of boxes which are filled with lots of stuff, all the stuff that I don’t have room for in my house. Lately I’ve been taking advantage of the lovely spring weather to do some spring cleaning. I’ve been going through barn box after barn box, and I’ve been left with a single thought - Why in the world did I keep all this stuff?

There’s a famous quote, sometimes attributed to Dr. Martin Luther King, that goes like this - “11:00 on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of the week”. That’s more than just an opinion, statistics bear it out. This Sunday morning, 80% of church members will attend a church where their race is in the overwhelming majority. Most likely you’re one of them.

Lately there’s been a lot in the news about religious leaders speaking out to political leaders. It reminded me of a dramatic encounter found in 2 Samuel, an encounter between a political leader named David and a religious leader named Nathan.

There’s a word that shows up often in the Word, but not so often anymore in our modern culture. It’s the word “redeem.” I first encountered this word, as a boy, not in a church, but in a grocery store. When my mother bought her groceries, along with her change, she would get stamps - S & H Green Stamps. Maybe you’re old enough to remember those too.

Do you recognize the name Elizabeth Holmes? Well, on this day in 2015, Time Magazine named her one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World”.
