 Economics. Not something that we can ever seem to understand with all of its twists and turns. Yet we try. And most of the time, something has been left out in our trying. Whose work is compensated? What about generational wealth? Does the Good News support certain economies? Here’s a real button pusher: Does God desire us to be wealthy? What does it mean to be “rich toward God?” Does it mean we are greedy (‘which is idolatry’ Col. 3:5) when we make choices that will increase our wealth while possibly also decreasing others who are barely getting by? It may be too hot (literally and figuratively) for us to wrestle with this, but I trust the Holy Spirit will find a way. Let us come together on the Lord’s Day to give praise and thanksgiving to our Triune God and discover the Good News offered to us on this day. Sunday Readings: Hosea 11:1-11 • Psalm 49:1-12 • Colossians 3:1-11 • Luke 12:13-21

 From the intimacy of a meal and conversation… He entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary… to the vastness and mysteries of the cosmos… He is the image of the invisible God, The firstborn of all creation…He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Let us come together and ponder these things. Come, let us worship.

 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!”. ~Luke 10:17 These seventy nameless followers are sent out with nothing but the authority that love, good will, and self-giving provides for them—and the benefit of clear boundaries. And they do things that astonish even themselves: healings of all sorts, the building of new friends, relationships, and partnerships. A good society. The powerful, suffering chieftan Naaman goes looking for healing with guns blazing, with all the firepower of someone who is used to means and the use of them for his own purposes. It takes the humble insights of servants, children, and wise counsel for Naaman to be healed—of his sickness, and of being a big deal. What does it take for us to receive the blessings of Spirit?
