Righteousness Inside Out – Lord, Have Mercy

Over 30 years ago, new to America, I was both surprised and moved by the sight of homeless here.

I remember an occasion when I asked my husband if we could share our leftovers with them.

It was Springtime in San Francisco. We were newly married and enjoying our honeymoon.

An old lady was rummaging for food at a public trash bin.

Without fanfare or announcement, he walked over to her and asked gen

Quotes by Ron Oltmanns (?)

“When John realized that a lot of Pharisees and Sadducees were showing up for a baptismal experience because it was becoming the popular thing to do, he exploded: “Brood of snakes! What do you think you’re doing slithering down here to the river? Do you think a little water on your snakeskins is going to make any difference? It’s your life that must change, not your skin!”
― Ron Oltmanns, Starting a Journey with Jesus: Fourteen Days of Praying with Matthew

“Jesus’ baptism is not a nice ceremony, a religious formality. It was a radical declaration of Gods kingdom, His righteousness, and the upside-down order of things.”
― Ron Oltmanns, Starting a Journey with Jesus: Fourteen Days of Praying with Matthew

“The Magi bring treasures and gifts fitting for a king. Hearts that are seeking, that are open will be overjoyed at finding, will fall down and worship. Deceptive and scheming minds will be frustrated, left out of the divine communication. Worship leaves us more open and receptive to God,”
― Ron Oltmanns, Starting a Journey with Jesus: Fourteen Days of Praying with Matthew
