The study of angels is a complex and controversial area of theology. Catholics, Lutherans, Jewish, Muslim, Pentecostals and Orthodox all have differing views of angels. I find all of them intriguing.  But the hands-down best book on Angels that I have read on the subject is “Angels” by Billy Graham.  This book is simplified, straight-forward, humble and helpful, plus it has stood the test of time. Angels are technically a separate being from humans. But they are literally messengers of God. And so many times in Scripture they are not unlike humans. When Phillip is guided by an angel to go south it seems almost a human messenger of God. When Abraham is visited by three angels, they appear as human. And all of us have stories of babies or seniors or strangers or loved ones who serve as messengers from God to our lives.

Of course, in this way good moms are messengers from God. Every time my mom speaks to me it is as a prophet speaking truth and grace into my life. Many of you know exactly what I am talking about. Why don’t you invite your mom or your family to watch our worship this Sunday at 10:30? My mom will be watching, and God is going to bless us.

Your friend always,
