Liturgy: “Walter White — God of Money and Power”
In this week’s liturgy, a deadly serious Paul warns Timothy of the dangers in the pursuit of Money. In a puzzling parable, Jesus utterly redefines the very meanings of Money and Power in view of himself—from Him comes power, He is the riches.

Liturgy: “Tattoos A-Go-Go and Other Things Worth Repeating”
That man, that scoundrel on that cursed tree, died to save people like me from myself, and people like you from me.
