Orion The Hunter


We had a very interesting visitor today: a young man, named Orion, who looked to be in his early twenties wanted to warn us of the coming apocalypse. He shared that he had been summoned to the throne of God where he saw Jesus at the right hand of God and Mary at the left hand and Trayvon Martin crying out for justice because of George Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict. God told Orion to pick up a golden bow and shoot a fiery arrow setting loose the first disaster of the tribulation that would destroy a large portion of the Eastern seaboard.

Orion claimed to only know about the beginning and ending of scripture, but he continued to ask questions about who we thought certain characters really were supposed to be. He told us that Echidna was the serpent that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. He said that Adam spoke Latin first and shared what were supposed to be the last words that he spoke directly to Orion. He explained that the Greek gods and Norse gods are real and that they sit just below God in Heaven and that when God speaks they listen to Him. He told us that he knew it would be difficult for us to believe that he had been sent by God to warn churches to wake up before it is too late.

We explained that as Christians we do not believe anything that is contrary to God’s written Word. I encouraged this young man to read the Bible, but he kept saying that the Bible was written by men and was not reliable. When we explained that the Bible is God’s Word written down by men, he said that man in the equation makes it unreliable. He ended by letting us know that he looks really young for his age, because he is actually 23,000 years old and is THE Orion the Hunter.

Some days reality is more unbelievable than fantasy.

Dirty Feet

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news.” Isaiah 52:7 (NIV) I have never been very comfortable in shoes. It really doesn’t matter whether they have great arch support, ultra extreme amounts of cushioning, or how much they cost. The first thing I do when I arrive home is take off my shoes and stretch my once imprisoned feet by bending them at the arches and wiggling my toes. I then remove my socks and begin to feel my feet relax as the fresh air washes over my tingling, sometimes sweaty, toes. Pretty picture, I know. It must be the right thing to do. A billion Chinese could not be wrong. My mother could not be wrong. After all, she was the one who always told me to, “Take off your dirty shoes before you come in here. I just finished mopping this floor and I don’t want mud tracked all over my clean house.” It became a normal ritual around our house to put the dozen or so shoes away before company was expected. My mother didn’t want dirty f

Pampered and Pacified

Author J.M. Barrie created the character that never wanted to grow up. Peter Pan, also the title of his famous book, did not want to become an adult and be forced to deal with all of the stress and struggles that came with the transformation. So Peter found his way to Neverland where, along with his lost boys, he could remain a carefree child forever. But those who know the story also know that carefree was not all that it promised for villainous Captain Hook constantly lurked around the corners, and then there was that tantalizing Wendy who stole Peter’s heart before he even knew what hit him. Millions of Americans have seemed to follow in the footsteps of Peter Pan. We have become a nation that no longer values the virtues of adulthood: especially responsibility, strong work ethic, self-dependence, selflessness, and community awareness. You don’t have far to look in our American society before you see lost boys, and girls, running around everywhere. Grown men and women who want

Silent Lord's Supper

I planned this service in 1995. ====== Please enter into tonight’s service humbly in silence and meditation. There will be no words spoken, so you need to follow the bulletin closely. We pray that this service will be a meaningful one for you. Come in …be seated …be still for a season …pray …and reflect with us upon the matchless love and grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Not a word will be spoken during this entire service. The only sound will be that of the piano as some familiar hymns of Christmas and Calvary are played. “Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord.” (Zechariah 2:13 KJV) Prelude “Kings of Orient” Removal of the Cloth “What Child Is This” Scripture Meditation “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” (John 8:12 NIV) “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people li
