2004.
 | "However I feel about Jesus’
reply to the Sadducees concerning the poor woman with seven
consecutive husbands, I am glad that Jesus cited Exodus to
demonstrate to his opponents why he believed that God 'is God not of
the dead, but of the living, for they are all alive to him.' This is
certainly my experience." |

Michael Pasquarello III,

The Blog of The Christian Century, 2007.
|
"When we “use” God, the church, and ministry to appease religious
curiosity and demand, determine winners and losers, gain an upper
hand or prove we are better than our competitors, we become
participants in death: life without God." |

| "Fearful
over-reaction has often let to a suppression of truth that was a greater
evil and error than the original 'heresy.'
A much more positive approach would be to open up to people the rich
Christian tradition for deeper prayer and spirituality." |

function by their supporters among the people." |

Exegetical Notes
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
| "Proclaiming that God is the God of the
living, I think, has to mean more than just something positive for those
who have died or for our future life. It should affect our lives on this
planet, in this age, today." |

Came to Him,"
Jerry Goebel, One

and activities.
| "Am I closing in on the cross or
clinging to the comforts of Galilee? Am I stretched further but
blessed deeper each day that I awake on this earth? As I look at
the day ahead of me and say, 'there came to Jerry,' will it be the
comforts of Galilee or the cross of Jerusalem that I expect to
encounter?" |

questions that ought not to be asked except by those who are famished for

not really hungry for an answer. They've gone to Jesus for a little
theological Ping-Pong." |
