This Week at Clyde Park

A Note from Pastor Ryan

Since last week's blog was so long, lets go short this week. This Sunday we will read from Matthew 25:1-13. It is a story about keeping lamps lit. We can boil it down to: Stay faithful even in the darkest days. Stanley Hauerwas says, "In the dark you must keep the lamps ready even if they are not able to overcome the darkness." 

When things are difficult we have a temptation to slink away. Perhaps there are times when we are angry with God we will put our practices in "time-out" and come back later. This parable says that the women who did not take the time to be ready in advance were left out. We know that Jesus is coming. We know that God wins the day, let us be faithful- even when it is hard.
