A True Christmas Story

Sun 25 Dec 2011

Merry Christmas!

May your celebration of Christ’s birth help you to probe the unfathomable depths of His love.

The video below comes from a church in Texas. I think you will find it well worth five minutes of your time.

Surprised by YouTube

Fri 23 Dec 2011
One of the blessings of my retired life is that gracious people occasionally invite me to preach. The gracious pastor and people of Portland Avenue Evangelical Free Church did that a couple of months ago. I was surprised to discover the evidence of that visit on YouTube. So should you be wondering what Malcolm might have been preaching a couple of months ago....

Enjoy! Happy

The Mountain

Sun 25 Jul 2010
There is a four-word phrase for days like this in Western Washington: The mountain is out. At 14,000+ feet, Mount Rainier dominates the landscape - when it can be seen. Of course around here, there are plenty of days when the mountain can’t be seen. Clouds, overcast, or rain often hide it. But its visibility - or lack thereof - doesn’t seem to bother the mountain. Whether I can see it or not, it is there.

I was reminded of both its impressive beauty and its constancy listening to an old Dottie Rambo song that asks the question, Where do I go when the storms of life are threatening? The faith-affirming answer in the title of the song says I go to the rock of my salvation, I go to the stone that the builders rejected; I run to the mountain, and the mountain stands by me. When the earth all around me is sinking sand, on Christ the solid Rock I stand....

When it’s stormy around here (which it isn’t today), the mountain may seem to go into hiding, but it is there whether I see it or not. And if I get close enough, I’ll see it. The mountain is out, and I’m going to the Rock.

I Go the the Rock

Preaching at Kenmore

Sun 16 May 2010
I enjoyed preaching this morning at Kenmore Community Church. Their pastor, Mark Rogers, used to be my mother’s pastor in Southern California and has come to be a good friend, Visiting this congregation is a blessing. You can click on the picture of the church for a link to listen to this morning’s sermon at the KCC website.
