Bishop James A. Pike

it's been last night and as a little detour from this week's preaching hair that i was no us your chicago nevada for the center for the study of democratic institutions in collaboration with a reform temple and mary very large crowd of people that was extremely interesting thing in the day he read my is from edinburgh sounding much more presbyterian an accent look main bearing than anything i met here remember a calvinist surroundings house side not let the president remained i am your sentimental is monitored on a very meaningful

for me there's been little comment how is it that someone so controversial was brought here in only way the world has a missing family think about presidents and a half these nominees who was elected president i mean so the big wide as striking the controversial is there was only way you are my pride in the category of the one has a vibe but it is interesting when you think about it demands there was big last night's expanse of these rages and we're talking about the morality of their respective reform temples and one spot we never wear the black hat anywhere anymore the mennonite devote site was a theres nothing in on my place i don't well you never hear word of the barriers and there's a there's a nothing i was as an adorably of it there's a sign up saying closed for the jewish holiday

i'm still i worry about you know really we haven't had on a controversial images but it's been very touching to be here and them under a new with new year the meetings this week i'm very grateful to for my clothes into productive and yet in having me up i speak all over the country all the plants on the leak bp university settings like a medical services but that as opposed to play in the noonday preaching and matt has always seemed significant to many as eighteen years i've been doing an unbroken in er and that in the episcopal church the usual places candidates and bhutan has st thomas well i have i have found it difficult to accept the council chelsea in gaza last year said certain the church i won the fight announcer joe that last fall at the sound of a seattle

of freedom for everybody but that no more can i go back to the church send a thon is a while back i got on the social gospel that isn't very satisfactory down there now then that pencil and let's get though olsen thomas and ivory is the end of that because it seemed to suddenly played too much of which was a change so here i am still in the region the arctic and the auspices of another synod about a christian church but not as convenient if you're in downtown inez many of you accordingly at that never matters even those a band here that if you've been regulars i've seen that others have been able to drop in a single time of ungrateful i like to talk to people but especially leaping of these things are important and deep and the nsa had just gotten it right but you're supposed to be out preaching in the middle of days those in to sunday worship in the serious season of passion that unholy way and meant a lot to me i have no scent very much it said jokingly about the collection

plate has never been my particular didn't send somebody else's running things up but it was a considerable any expense just getting here and the union intel's with relatively small numbers were going up from doing again that's due to location and circumstance that so i myself sale but i'm working we'll play with a small nonprofit foundation as an accident to help out to an interview doesn't people are certain conditions and thanks well i've said is well i couldn't not so i'm saying the generation that because you belong here or an ascending more important i was saying and i liked it words appear more myself on a distance that you're not church do not been active you loosely connected an up and readily with it think about this the thing about coming it's been

i think an expression of intent and meaning to be current and contemporary and speak out than that under the circumstances that you're at all so i commend that to an all out is a way of saying thank you to back again to the rest and in part of the life in this place and all of you for coming what i've been trying to do this week in the soviet period that this summer for those who didn't make an area and you're right you can still be saved an apprentice to a good friday service you can pray that day if you're not say by the end of the day it does on monday thirtieth night that opportunity to join in the christian center of the first last supper we thought the candidate really indeed over diseases or sugar those around him that the traditional seder we know the only thing in the and i'm trying to do

is to give proper due they got faster the goddess that moment which is really kind of dared to sell items that there was an important point i was making and that is a certain images of god are dead they been exposed by the passage of time greater knowledge years as a dividend understanding as false gods as adults that much is true about the phrase god is dead there's certain images of god that would tell you to say this is not that he ought to be take the one in the unit that the description of that exodus where the lord god or acts that moses a lot of the way and chase down the media nights and capture them all to all the man goller women

aren't virgins sort out the virgin lemon aired by ryan said if radium ages and to the captains of on the fence and the virgins into two young men in the camp of the world and have to be sorted out as extra remember the commanders now that your bible well i i i think that if god is like that i was you again i mean that's accountant to god is not very attractive item get written a holy book it's still not very attractive i thought the word for that part of the holy book for me if that got in there they are and they have a few would be a dishonorable to worship him certainly have eased around we should discourage people have enough to deal with animals with and there's a mobile reforming it i don't think there is it's only stays dead the remaining ever was but they'd yet the power yet are because notions about our notions of power like that they added the past that they don't exist at the cost that

we say in the capital of the nightly news or bad because the latin pronunciation radical than it really is so often our sunday services some ninety five the morbidity oriented is a great king above all gods were those other guide god's really aren't when he's a great game drew got about the false notions about god the these notions of my business which have dominated people's lives off into their hurt meredith element so that's what we've been saying about a deadline or diving into fast as we can is all true data centers as the throng of gauze pads and wrong prove that then lead on that as a religion then he goes under mrs say that they remember that was god's in their place there are all these things that we don't want to have all them and if they are subordinated to he who is all about as true for we talk about this week we talked about

was the gag of the second aspect there a god of moral codes and then we'd activities is non conformity versus the god of law in our day and jesus says civil disobedience in attacking the puppet economics genuine air and the bankers the animal so as the hierarchy all is that he did when you were in the four core the top of the great crowd calling him the new data he says he did not make law in order of finality engaged in a very physical action as part of the whole moment of his people who are against the golan this regime and the puppet government of a

bit of a moment that i was traveling from eighty six to move on the sudden at seventy three on our was not now that's an example of what could be reinstated lawn art is important however because now that just a line god always on the side of a status quo it's my god allow the status quo happens end of the second point got a moral codes moral codes are useful but in the end something beyond anything the man's rose lee at the heart of the matter and he did follow the school of thought of hillel in chennai among the prayer circle because of giving an interpretation of the law is just happening underneath the savvy elite some icing on the savvy heal it lasted a year ago when it ends are at an ambulance stone on the senate taking a very real person because there's still i have a

very narrow the jews who've others who share my strict instructions and this was shocking to beyond reason which is that the other approaches this is the kind of indians are saying that the last time that don't deny that god out of it don't get may get that make illegal is a moderate today is the goddess i'm not but that's that is expecting that god willing can do everything that god will be the great been outed and actually things are in process and were part of the process and we're making right out of wrong making good news out of evil we we were here with freedom and best use our heads and our hearts to get with it and that we cannot live all to him as a result novels is all this fall the only way to fix it all up ann

beattie add to that is this is on desolation rage out is what you get is are you done all that would seem to be awkward to bring random house to bear on the scene expectancy this automatic guns at his role in this world but what it meant that is we didn't build up with a partner villagers of the late old testament and then sees growth as insect know that god will come if we make enough trouble we take the friction double count is pitch perfection and god does not count is on that was about to die and rise up my god where are you my god my god was overstated his desolation is this it is a sign that there is no god who can turn every trick and that leap we will be desolate and use the

r word and today they're about another barrier this is the goddess of sex now one of the reasons for the religious revival acted world war to which is definite crafted an hour gone downhill but there was a kind of a boom religious boom was a new style of preaching and teaching and writing again in that god is good point in our care you got anything else you breyer the more successful you make more sales or selling secondhand cars are or stocks and bonds you earn it make it how they were otherwise you get the god of success no that

approach how to do and how to get answers and inland saved everything was that going to and i had to do my own risk very year the charity contemporary that is to deal with the questions that are in fact being asked i do feel a great deal of bridging is answering questions of people haven't asked her aren't asking at least in this decadent that a man as the months up and i think at the last season doesn't even begin to answer during that protected than i sound a little bit like the the sort of where you know how to do it people do i have two boats now that still have some very i think at a new dishes coming out to clean them up beyond anxiety and the next day

re written that to be a little less how to do it and the hard line the current thinking but in the day that didn't seem to be rather go out to a unit the six out those of the un is i am the only about fifty syrian living up on this it and then hours later a method of the second hour or not i think i would doing this that i was analyzing the question in terms of the whole handling encounters levels and then providing answers out of the resources of christian theology that following paul tillich smother correlation which advantage of the industry that does that with the answers to other questions about questions of their own to

people then dramatic this week the internal access but those eternal as abby restated and the question that's cathy and because of the terms of the victim for their senses as the church officially that you got to restate now up behind all that though i think that that image of a thawing of this chat that i lived in doesn't have also part of approaching things the way people were looking at it was the assumption that that you won't do better if you are leaving you do that without now i still affirm that in the long well i mean there is a man to hold onto meaning raise and that i think one would do that without one can even say one will be more successful without that a different idea that success but to say that in terms of the immediate goals of life or even the medium range

goals of life that that being religious or bleeding heart being with god or pragmatism that as sure as it says i think the nsa know that allison says is that it doesn't work that way and i think really weak is a very good time to see that our central ornaments in most of our judges the jazz players surely pretty it up you know the embroidered are like rahman it's a very great day while they really no one was a very very good day in the yard at colleges a fascinating dvd now there's a cartoon today the firemen and then front of one other places and other cities that have had the big guys arrange a riot there now know the last two three days it is again today is terrible looking than all burned out a sound all over and all this month canada's janet yellen as saying why wasn't very

pretty but far at well it wasn't at its vivid reminders that there we got as success isn't very questionable is that is that it didn't work out that way but is it i have i dreaded to the cause of the brill building by the end of the campaign in my diocese in california and serves as central coastal area of agreement that is the billing address people on knob hill we did there were abuses and that is recognized as the first american people to be completed that is a type of a man i was been a near fatal us it wasn't so americans appear for saying it on the city's

unfinished soon in distress and bari says there's more of a looking like it looks like a city but right for the city and that is incomplete list matching but that's right but our survey was that there's other day and then within his lens and just go now in the middle of the whole thing with professional fund raisers they're really very good every day that reporters was going to achieve laymen on the committee that of course the lead elements club sitting in a club and he said and you know has the gravitas level off the nominees coming and after that i don't notice it as because you and the us and cancel each of you in your own way go into controversial that i've invented a position a number of issues that i'd have been the money is that out there just six

months ago now the zika outbreak well clear that i don't think i consciously gym that i'm a man got a lot of work but i don't think so present so mines in fact for about seven eight months i didn't date that involves a gang is a dozen council and the money ran and got all so that this fire will say years ago is already at the ledge again he opened up by saying there's a huge and omar was based at the onset of thing about that as the catalyst of the jewish state now is that i wanted a nod to waving his arms around the visit again about diseases of ramadan and i belong to remember that awaiting his arms around this ways really generalize you are there at the brigade country club they don't go anywhere else upset their offices are now upset i

want to know to how well everyone has been speaking about yeah well everyone thinks of you that it made me nervous because it is a spiritual text on it though jesus's of parties anywhere and all men speak well of you rizzo the day of the false prophets and you know there's a un evolve private is all private as a man so smooth things they want to hear well that was a little striking but i said pileup money isn't an anomalous he said i think you should make the murder in those images the model of your intact as it already it insane but investors that just like jesus who got along so well in every night and turned out so well as i said that yeah you know there is that there was a problem oh well it was that i got

at it really was about to say something rather than and i suddenly thought oh women here this particular gentleman all where sunday's goes i know the parent very well at the educational building he do under church preparatory school you had four years of sacred studies and wrote and this is his impression of what jesus is all about was very mad and i made this is apparently what we've got the cross of the church as it is all about a jesus is successful in the successful people are the demonstration what it is to be christian and the main thing was going along well that as a point of being alive is to get along with everybody and turn out so well that does give on the pond so i think we should we got them on a lake that but here is one who didn't turn out very well not when i met actually kind of hard

without getting into a long lines of the dome is up when he did say that the turnout well it's hard to say dead and you know i mean as a double level answer on that it didn't and they did you know how does that work on the masses not that russia seasons we do it is that something will be said in this book that are other lovers of other churches youth dan mitchell complete the star that he turned out very well and eight and one dimension in the whorls terms or the way that we often have tried to sell religion as making you more successful is an ikea more apt for the achievement or whatever it is you know we didn't dare not very well because he wouldn't translate into that and he was not discrete

up i had a kind of conversion experience at our st louis convention four years ago which was so terrible without thinking about the wrong position about everything we do just about ensemble would get voted down in the other house of the regulator that that is pretty late but without that well that i've got three of the odyssey of the institutional church was really a tag along with threats that led there because we're an open housing type of housing fourteen and by critical of the pockets and with the hands that than with a one and mr eason a billion dollars a day running today polly a seven or an allegory about another monarch and otherwise it's just kind of drying time that when the judges are growing but it isn't very they're going anywhere but the fact is that rape and then as i got frey of feeling that ultimately matters about the

institutional church now the official church i'm in my my favor of foreigners because you want to say that you love and the conservatives were lots of services edition in syria and by having it changes so says another this packaging and everything else on the land and on the grass but i was afraid from the idle the success of the church and i can set divine as an invention that i wanted to apologize for the fact that now let's talk with to encourage its investment products that's actually has a word for planets eight by prudence and that no more would actually says that an important certainly personally to think originally were major dedicated to just that that that's what an average eight billion in it somewhere or is that kind of symbol of success symbol pretty a magnet that's not a success symbol that's a

symbol or paying the price to be honest and let's try to understand race that at whatever cars and be heard it may be now looking back on it it's quite right because a decorated o'malley was to record is as simple a decade because as it's a central piece of iconography i like very much that we can look back and go to i don't forget that as an outlet wendy's was not because i will listen that thinking that that the church has something to tell us about how we can avoid processed in this world how we can avoid that the late nineteen seventies only make the same ones the decisions ourselves our bigger draw them out wrong so there's nothing they can often that just about any of that

then what can we say well yesterday i had briefly stun realities of work i'm going to do that again and close right now because i'm a project in our didn't notice the style of life of a man of that this is also life is is the man brothers and you see the development article expression of the understanding of a wider application of it but let's say this short time on the cross the style of like a man in town you see these hands a bit accustomed to healing people how they were tied back they can do that they would get to the wood his feet took in advance of need but they were strapped that i can walk and i can go anywhere i was into

restriction does not need restoration limitations has not been frustration frustration something in there that are you react to the imitation is one way of reacting the restrictions and limitations of the gondola as edith well first thing is that service is done the people a bit puzzling government and a religious man are monumentally your about that is father to get on that other day and i didn't you got that and he worked it out nearly as many words next three years in prison

these rebels are so the and we have over there doing outlandish you take the two halves of the blu ray or means a war in lawful entities roberts and then they go let us too low disciple about that fixes that got older mother carol lee sear mama dig alley out of that for a perpetual care but that inability really bad it's that expression as especially good because you know people are suffering not paying the double that they say that i can take on another thing

that commonly i had too much i just had too much know i was on the committee that character's eye this is that i can't take any more how it went up but you know there's no sign that you know when they give it was at abu amar thought in his mind that you know more about how another goes back to galilee you know the humanity of saying a thursday now some devoting energy out of the gun that is evidence of the attitude right at it and i respectfully that i had eggs abadi walked in the diocese has the state sent them again to make them as an artist patty like did that won over well you know there was i cannot find any of that

except to help is a nice graze atlanta and jesus does and the tomb right not i think there is and the only a son my god my god why is that was amy sun bloody duke talk about that constant mike townsend and they're all red album again though the lebanese bar and then that really then asked a neighbor most unpleasant it was like this is a like cities i don't like that that's very direct way when you're in a bind like a knife as adult i said they embark upon the spotlight bit and then i was in the satellite expresses as a desolation he gives apple

thought that the envelope and then rescue fraser comic con because it was in the time of troubles and bring i'm so it's it's over it's finished no just no and this is the more of these devices father into the hands i commend my spirit akin of it up is that read this and then i can do it and that what i go on with you and to me that is soundbite of course it cannot be had the identical with what you do tomorrow the next day anyone who because the rise it has never ammo there was another heading for other definitely don't want that

do you care to be honest and candid about the fact that it hurts to be concerned with those around one and that was responsibilities even though one piece of the law to sort out how one is feeling probably wouldn't do and to recognize one that they it is a very end up then it is not fair and then say i'm sorry about this i am in god's hands and i go on with him or whatever it is that whatever is next in the long range what it was access and strangers sound richer and for him a matter of minutes as opposed it said always rang it means the end of this plan of exist in this dimension because in our ongoing us that already we are more than what we look like that already the trends in space and

not knowing very much about how things are arranged beyond that again that those resources that have seen us through these days will be available to us that that that that experience that prep that the openness to prove much knowledge at luigi's of arc and exile or with that we can go on and over that role from strength to strength that kind of trust this is casey already knew where i was and he was right to let go let go and that's what every picture than that dampened about success or that the deepest things a religion promising success and became they are not a lot of

things in fact he was shot to think that the biggest sign of it do but that crust look back to look back upon already a certain is that months years ago and i'm sure a few more so we will see as a leisurely bike ride the serenity this and i was walking outside chatting absolutely unwilling to carry along the burden of the fear of being killed because already having but again but the revelation does as if

you have already dead and risen again you need not be a second there you've already you come to terms with this what it's all about and you know you're not putting up the files that you're not expecting automatic solutions from the status quo will be preserved in the society or in your own life you have given up on now that you've been given the bike race the gift of courage and confidence about the long range of it then you're freed up to work at this trying to save all this try to make the most of the driver idiot as it doesn't remove your mind the night of martin luther king's deep as religious experience that sat in the song born in those attacks because of that i would send to know and learn about nothing about that escape from reality is from the glass at all it was red and it doesnt for the masses and the bbc jesus on the cross those things he

was able to say and do even in that confine limits them in his situation there is no escape indeed there was power in that hidden power and that ross right through more power from those three hours on the press my life you know it's not the wide lazy river that turned to determine the water rushing through the narrow tip lorge butler and bitter but if there's a turban that if there's a german debt limit and that does not automatically make power and strength not automatically some people that you know some of that will tear you think it must be a lively spirit and about it also be in a wheelchair for most objectionable people difficult about today in our work and other people around them themselves but not

automatic way having sent to be due to failure howard to restoration of the limitations that had an infestation that is but the park and in the midst of the mariners bargained down the midst of a man's and a renault isn't advanced they've already made in terms of that nothing nothing not even a sniper's bullet that god is alive fb
