Arguably the greatest Reformed theologian of the 20th century, Karl Barth, once wrote:
"A preacher lives with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other."
This Sunday's sermon will very obviously be a product of my taking Barth's advice: Luke 5:27-32 in one hand and this story (originally in the Huffington Post, reframed for The Washington Post.)
I wonder if you can draw the connection for yourselves in advance of Sunday?
Have always loved that K.B. quote.
