<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
Very Rev Daniel P Richards proclaims the gospel of John in Jesus’ encounter
with Pontius Pilate and Pilate’s confusion on the rule of God. Pilate makes a category
error. Richards points to the prologue of John to deeply explain the difference
of the rule of Jesus as the logos - the basis of all creation and relationship
of God. In the face of violence in the world today, we as Christians must take
a new way in love and forgiveness to stop the madness which we may lose our
lives over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Very Rev Daniel P Richards proclaims the story of Jesus as he and the disciples in Mark during the festival of Passover as Jesus is in the last week in his life. The disciples comment on the permanence of the Temple but Jesus points out that all the stones will be cast down. Things change and God doesn't. This moment will pass but God is always with us. Change is what happens, transitions is cooping with it. Make the commitment today.</span><br />

conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not
worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our
Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever.

according to Mark as Jesus tries to get away and teach his disciples the basics
of the live and the way of discipleship. Richards notes we need to “sharpen our
pencils” or get ready to deepen our study and faith preparing for the day our
neighbor needs us to help during a crisis.
We need live into a real God not one of our imagination or an idealized
faith but one deepened by preparation. Be a wise person and be prepared to
serve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

He starts with a pencil. He notes how our current view of the Word - the logos - Jesus has been relegated in this culture from true knowledge to faith being some other thing than knowledge. Peter makes the mistake of using the cultural view of Messiah as King rather than Jesus and the way of the Cross.</span></span><br />
