Second Sunday After Epiphany. Pastor Jeff Ruby leaves us with two questions to ponder, ‘Are the decisions in your life based on personal comfort and convenience? Or are they based on GOD’s word?’ in the message titled “Checking for Cracks in the Foundation”
Matthew 7:24-29 NIV
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.”

My son was baptised in the church and we have been coming the last few months by his request. He is now 14. We were in mass on Sunday at 9:15am with my mom. At the peace/meet your neighbor portion of the mass, I offered peace verbally to a parish member instead of offering my hand. She commented to me, “So you are one of those.” I am not 100% sure what she meant by that but I was offended in church and my son was very put off. I did not think devisiveness carried over to the church but was incorrect. I had to come forward as being very disappointed.
