Reflecting on the previous sermon series on Revelation. Why the lectionary is used for most services rather than exploring other parts of the Bible. Doing the daily office with readings and psalms from the lectionary. Fewer churches have evening services now, and we are poorer for it Certain Bible passages and hymns conjure up thoughts about God. Recalling a confirmation class discussion about hymns portraying God. One student said a hymn portrayed God like an almighty corset. Today's Romans passage reminds us of a previous sermon on not thinking too highly of yourself. Relating this to the unattractive character of Uriah Heep from David Copperfield. Does emphasizing humility makes some people think even less of themselves. Does stressing humility leads some people to think even less of themselves when they already face challenges to their self-esteem from lack of education, employment, or respect from others.
