Of Sow's Ears and Silk Purses
2010-06-27 05 Pentecost C, part 1
Being "fit" for the kingdom of God is not a matter of how straight one can plow. It's not a matter of plowing at all. The difference between sinner and saint, between the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of God, is qualitative not quantitative. There ain't gonna be no sinners on their best behavior in heaven!
Readings: 1 Kings 19:15--16, 19--21 Psalm 16 Galatians 5:1, 13--25 Luke 9:51--62

Lectionary Readings:
Isaiah 65:1--9

Galatians 3:23--29

2 Samuel 11:26—12:10, 13–15
Psalm 32
