Repeat These Words

Repetition is the foundation of knowledge. A student repeats vocabulary. An athlete repeats a physical movement. An apprentice repeats a task. A reporter repeats what someone else said so that it can be heard. Whether memorizing, practicing, recounting, drilling, or mastering, repetition is a common denominator of all forms of education. More than this, in Scripture, repetition represents an attention to detail intent on telling a story as it unfolds, literally, with no allowance for assumptions.

Scripture does not talk about a story; Scripture is the story!

Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Matthew 25:34-40.

There Will Be No Flags in the Kingdom

Whatever term we use to describe it, be it “worldly,” “earthly,” “materialistic,” or the more precise biblical phrase, “of the flesh,” the fact is, the way we think and speak is dominated and controlled by our fears and desires. We fear judgment, so our hands bend the commandment into a cultural bludgeon. We desire comfort, so our minds twist the written gospel into an amorphous oral tradition, accessible over a cup of coffee without disciplined study or memorization. As such, we find ourselves safe and sound inside our borders, under our flags, while others burn. The exact opposite of St. Paul in 1 Corinthians, we are comfortable and cozy while others hunger and thirst. In light of Matthew 25, it’s no wonder we believe that wrought memorization is a waste of time.

Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Matthew 25:41-46.
