Throwing Out the Worms


Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, “A proper sermon should be like holding out to a child a shining red apple and asking: ‘Wouldn’t you like it?’” When people look at our lives – specifically our lives as we follow Jesus – do they see something they would want? Do we allow the forgiveness, love, grace, truth and peace of Jesus to overwhelm us? Are we shining apples – or are there a few worms we need to evict?

Yes but don't worms have their purpose too? Eviction seems improper.
