The Miraculous Catch
almost always interpreted as church growth
Banging your head
attention captured by Simon and the fishermen.
They’ve been working all night, with no reward.
Have you ever felt like that?
The Dead End
Anti-Vax, racism, the argument you can never win because the rules keep changing
Big dead end looming
The Other Side
Can be hard to see.
What does it even look like?
Still in the same boat, but not being dragged down by the circumstances.
You’ll know it when you see it
Fruit of the Spirit,
Faith, Hope & Love
Colbert - Death is not the end
Let’s be a 1 Corinthians church
I'm a Christian and a Catholic, … and death is not defeat.
Sadness is like a little bit of an emotional death, but not a defeat.
If you can find a way to laugh about it, because that laughter keeps you from having fear of it.
And [laughter] is the thing that keeps you from turning to evil devices to save you from the sadness.
As Robert Hayden said, we must not be frightened or controlled into accepting evil as our deliverance from evil.
We must keep struggling to maintain our humanity, though monsters of abstraction threaten and police us.
You must understand and see this in the light of eternity and find some way to love and laugh with each other.
- Stephen Colbert
