Associate Pastor

Among the riches of the reformed tradition are the various catechisms, statements of faith, and confessions that in different times and places have given voice to our faith in times of crisis or need. This page will explore these riches with an eye toward their meaning for our life of faith today. Each week I will briefly comment on one or more questions from the catechism and add some scripture and questions for reflection.

This is intended to be a daily devotional guide and will be updated weekly and there will be enough in each week’s installment to spread out over the week. If you have never established a daily devotional time in your life, or just don’t know where to start, consider the following routine:

Set a regular time and place.
Center yourself with a few deep breaths.
Pray with the Lord’s Prayer.
Read the commentary.
Read the question and answer from the catechism slowly and reflectively; allow its words or images to speak to you and go with any that grab you asking meditatively what the LORD might BE SAYING to you THROUGH THEM.
Read the suggested scripture the same way.
Ponder one or more of the reflection questions EACH DAY.
Repeat each day of the week expecting to see and hear different truths and insights each day.
Close with your own prayer of adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.This week’s devotions.
