Soul Food: Week of September 10, 2023

“Soul Food” is a regularly updated calendar of meditations sometimes questioning conventional wisdom & often suggesting eternal values …

Sunday: If life in God’s universe is as dangerous for us to navigate as it seems, don’t we need all the spiritual guidance our Free Wills can get?

Monday: Trust in the Lord with all your heart & lean not on your own understanding. Proverb

Tuesday: The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. Psalm 23

Wednesday: You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

Thursday: A suggested Augustinian theological bridge: With God’s gift of free will, we can certainly sin, but without it we could never do good.

Friday: People can achieve salvation or redemption only through God & can’t choose between good & evil through their own willpower. Martin Luther paraphrased

Saturday: Free at Last! God grant that right here in America & all over this world, we will choose the high way; a way in which men will live together as brothers. Martin Luther King, Jr.
