Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

From today's Lectionary

John 18:33-37

18:33  Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"


18:34  Jesus answered, "Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?


18:35  Pilate
replied, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests
have handed you over to me. What have you done?"


18:36  Jesus
answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom
belonged to this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from
being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from
here."


18:37  Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus
answered, "You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I
came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to
the truth listens to my voice."

German Lutheran Church bans AfD members from committees, calls party ‘anti-human’

QUOTE:
And over the summer, the Magdeburg Catholic bishopric made it clear that AfD members cannot work in church bodies.

Lutheranism reminds of used car systems where you can get what you want but you have agree to terms that might see userious, by here, pay here.

In contrast, I think of Methodistws and Methodism to similar what Walmart might offer were they in the business of religion.

Leaning to walk in faith begins with faith. God's word is HIS word and does not require a compiler program to understand. Prayer is the answer but faith unlocks the key.
