As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Interrupting God

Interrupting God


Life is full of interruptions. Sometimes we do the interrupting, instead of listening. Some people talk too much. Some people don't talk enough. However, when it comes to listening, those who don't talk enough have the advantage. Peter interrupted events on the mount of transfiguration with what seemed to be an inane and pointless suggestion. I think that we all can relate to that. At this point, God interrupted Peter, not immediately with words, but first of all with an event. Luke 9:28-43 reveals how fog clouded his ability to see what was going on and then God told him to listen to Jesus. Do we have a tendency to interrupt God, telling him how we think things ought to be run, rather than just listening to him? Has God seemed to place our lives in a fog trying to teach us to listen more to him and talk less?
