March 9, 2014 - Give Up on Being Good Enough

Understanding what makes you tick can be very insightful. You can take the DISC personality assessment online to learn more about yourself.

Matthew 5:48, which tells us to be perfect, doesn't really mean that we should be perfect.

Good to Great really is a great book. Jim Collins rightfully describes it as an organizational book, not a business book, making it a great tool for just about anyone.

This sermon is not about the death penalty, but for the record I am opposed. One reason is simply that we will make mistakes.

Dr. Brene Brown has several videos that talk about her findings and beliefs on worthiness, shame, vulnerability, and imperfection. Here's the full version of her TED talk from worship today.

When I talked about Adam and Eve I mentioned that Adam is drawn to Eve more because of similarity than difference. This is important in the ongoing debate on homosexuality because some opponents will cite this very story as the basis for their opinion. God created man and woman different from each other and that's the way it should be. The most banal form of this argument is the "God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" bumper sticker. This argument completely misreads the logic of the text. Eve is a companion for Adam precisely because of their similarity. Their differences are inconsequential.
