Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

As we enter the 3rd full week of Lent, have you ever wondered if the Lord is among you and your loved ones? Most of us have, especially when times are tough, and it is a telltale sign that the answer we expect to hear is, "he is not!" Many of us don't really believe God is available to his people or cares for us or has the power to really help us. But that is a false god and not the God of the Bible. It is not the God Paul talks about in our epistle lesson today with its wondrous Good News of life, healing, redemption, hope, and power. Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about all this and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Exodus 17.1-7; Psalm 95.1-11; Romans 5.1-11; John 4.5-42.
