Devotional on Ephesians 2:10

July 15th, 2003  |  by Helen  |  published in Christian, Writing before 2004

In 2003 my church put together a page-a-day devotional booklet for the month of September. Each entry was written by a member/regular attender of the church. Here’s the one I wrote.
Our workmanship takes many forms, from awe-inspiring buildings to individually made Pinewood Derby cars, carefully constructed for the day of the big race.

Caught Between Two Views of Jesus: A Modern Meditation

March 8th, 2002  |  by Helen  |  published in Christian, Writing before 2004

This was published in the Wednesday Journal 3/6/02.
This month I’ve been taking a course offered at Unity Temple called “Jesus for Unitarian Universalists and other Modern Persons”. I’m not a Unitarian so I guess I must be a Modern Person, whatever that is. It sounds flattering, anyway.

One Man’s Story (Paul the apostle)

September 20th, 2000  |  by Helen  |  published in Christian, Writing before 2004

There was once a man who loved God very much. He was a Bible expert. He loved to teach people about God’s laws. He wanted people to obey God. When he heard that some people were teaching against God he opposed them with all his effort.
But one day God turned his world upside down. [...]

The Bible Teaches That Jesus Is Jehovah

September 17th, 2000  |  by Helen  |  published in Christian, Writing before 2004

Dear [],
Please would you read the following verses and send comments to me if I have erred in what I have written, because I know I am fallible in my own understanding of the Word of God and it is my sincere prayer that I would not promote an erroneous understanding of God’s Word. [...]

Hidden Treasure: New Life

May 1st, 1999  |  by Helen  |  published in Christian, MOPS newsletter, Writing before 2004

This is a neat time of year; winter is almost over and even if Spring hasn’t quite arrived by Easter, we know it will be here soon. Spring and Easter both remind us of new life; Spring brings new life all around us and at Easter Christians remember that Jesus was raised to life and [...]
