“Thy will be done” are the four scariest words in the Bible. 
I am fairly enamored with my own way of doing things, and yet, faith involves trust. Even when things look hopeless, I believe love will always win because of this and other things. But trusting in God’s will and not my own is essential – at least for a person of faith.
But what about the scariest words we might hear or repeat in church?
My nominations:
- Actually, that’s my pew.
- Our table is closed.
- We can’t afford it.
- You are not invited.
- God really hates you.
- But our policy says . . .
- God doesn’t call women.
And your nominations?
Happy Halloween to all!
