Scripture: Exodus 18:13-27 My sister, Vicki, was a preschooler when, one day, my dad returned home from work to discover his darling daughter up to her elbows in “mud pies.” My dad was affectionately dubbed “Mr. Clean” by our family and, horrified, he said to my sister, “Vicki, there are germs in that mud” to which my sister very innocently replied, “It’s OK, daddy; when I’m done, I’ll put them back.”

Scripture: Psalm 139: 1, 13-18 Gnosticism was a heresy that threatened the early Church. I like to say that the easiest way to understand Gnosticism, in a nutshell, is this: “matter doesn’t matter.” For the Gnostics, the physical stuff of this world was viewed as being in opposition to the immortal and eternal soul and the soul needed to be liberated from the physical form. Now this belief was condemned as heresy by the Church. But, over my life, I have come to realize that a lot of Christians didn’t get that memo and that many Christians still maintain a strained and peculiar relationship with the physical world, particularly our own bodies. |
