I think I'm going to go in the direction of fishing with nets, not a fishing pole. It isn't about the bait we use to fish for specific fish, but like the Sower who sows seed wildly, the great fisher casts with the same wild abandon-getting all kinds of fish, not necessarily the specific fish that one would want or be of more benefit. We are then also called to catch people with a net, not a fishing pole. We are not called to only fish for specific fish, but to cast the net and we will catch what we catch. Being a witness to Jesus is to tell everyone the story of Jesus, not only those we find compatible--to those who know it best and to those who have never heard--and maybe even those who have been told the story but witnessed it in a horrific manner and with abuse. It is fun when our nets come back full, but we also know Jesus is going to come up again and say, let's take those nets out again tonight. It is also noted that they fish by night, meaning there is a torch and the fish are drawn to the light. Are we not called to let our lights shine for others to see God in us, to glorify God in what people see in us. When we live like Jesus, let our light shine, we will catch people. It isn't all up to us, and as in the soil in the parable Jesus will tell, the seed is spread.--Pr. Julie Bailey

look at how well he is living of off taxpaying people It is sick! IM sure there is starving and homeless in the street near him, but he does not care its about his income from people

Thank you, Bishop! Blessed Sabbath and Christmas to you!

Beautiful, Appropriate and Much Appreciated!

Happy belated Birthday 🎉🎂

This was a great message.

Happy Birthday on Wednesday Bishop Craig

Glad it was a great gathering. Donna Scott-Hober. Past member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church when you were there Bishop Craig and now I belong to St Michael Lutheran Church in Greenville, SC. I look forward to your weekly posts. Donna

What a great memory! Thanks

Hi Craig, your aunt was my mum's cousin, sincere condolences to you and all the family from your cousins in Ireland XXX ❤

Jesus is in the boat. Thank you Bishop.

Welcome back! You have been missed.

Welcome back, Bishop!

Merry Christmas and happy sabbatical! I will miss "Take One" but hope you have a wonderful time away.

That's a good word. Thank you.

You speak of "we" and then oppositionally "the world". Who is the "we"? You say "we have two wars..." What?

Okay. Show me "engagement"...without misappropriating the name of Jesus using it as a disfluency. The current crisis of antisemitism needs to be engaged. We've had Holocaust 2.0 on October 7, 2023...a date which will abide forever in Jewish memory. Who do we see about this? Something needs to be done. So, engage. What will you do as community to push antisemitism back? The word "community" is crucial. It denotes that people in the pew will be called upon to push back on antisemitism. It also denotes that the general culture of the pew must change in regard to attitudes about Jews today....which unfortunately is informed by historic attitudes of the Church toward Jews. The problem of historic Christian antisemitism bleeding out into wider culture needs to be "engaged." The ELCA has given minimal lip service to all this...a few statements from Higgins Road every once in a while. Or, the formal renunciation of Luther's antisemitic writings that Lutheran lay folk don't know about...even now. Consider how Norman Beck's book (Texas Lutheran University) "Mature Christianity: The Recognition and Repudiation of the Anti-Jewish Polemic in the New Testament...doesn't get much "engagement" from ELCA leadership. Beck's scholarship is historical-criticism at its most useful application. The problem of antisemitism in the west does originate with the NT texts and its historic communities. Yet, how many ELCA pastors preached the Matthew vineyard replacement theology pericope on Sunday, October 8 with no positive engagement with the fact that for centuries that text has been used to defend and promote antisemitism which ends up in atrocities as happened the day before?

Great

Happy Birthday! We share a September birthday.

Thanks as always!

A true man of God would never wear a symbol of evil on his shirt so boldly

The conversation on Friday was wonderful! Thank you!!

Congratulations Bishop. I see you are wearing decent clothes for a change. Thank you. You are wearing the green for Pastor Haley Vay. MA

I’ll be praying you have a blessed restful time on the dock at your cabin.

Our prayers are with you and your family as you grieve your brother Don. May Jesus wrap you and your family in His loving arms. Lois & Tom

Thanks Bishop Satterlee. I appreciate your weekly take on the gospel. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this accessible way!

The dialogs in John are exciting to read and study, to teach and to preach. It is obvious that you get excited about them, too.

Craig, I am enjoying your book. Even though I am retired now. Hopefully one day you might sign it for me! Pres Hoffman (2006 LSTC preaching class)

Joy to you, bishop.

Where do I sign up for Dr.Taylor’s Zoom classes?

Don't worry too much about another test -- the antibodies mean that you can test positive even if you're no longer contagious. Go by symptoms, and it's probably best to wear a mask in public for a while. I had a cough that lingered, so while I felt fine and went back to work, I was super careful about masking.

No. Uvalde et al are not events to search and find comfort about. Clergy, especially bishops have no place or call to frame atrocity into a loss/recovery paradigm. It's not about your comfort. It should be about your "Never Again."

Provocative and appreciated.

Thank you, Bishop. We need to hear and heed this message.

Someone lost a bet!

Happy Ordination Day, Bishop! Thank you for your long service to Christ's church!

I hope your friend Ana is not a “ woman” pastor, that is as sinful as plagiarism

Thank you, Bishop Satterlee.

Thank you for this video Bishop. Ascension did make the decision to move to online worship and we are much better prepared than we were the last time. For love of God and neighbor!--Pastor Julie Bailey

Whose image is on you? We are created in the image of God.

I😇 wear it ad a couteesy. But in our connunity of 165000 citizens only 60 have the virus. So, I wash my hands, sibg praises to God, and forget through mask. Studies I have read say that the cloth mask is ineffective. Only the material of vacuumcleaner bags works. That they must be changed more frequently. That N 95 masks are not meant to be on eight hours of physical labour. Studies of 2013 clnicalky done. So, as a courtesy at work, yes. I also change them. Otherwise.... With care to distance, no.

Thanks for the scriptural reflection. Just what I needed to hear today.

Virtual hymn sing was nice.

Happy to hear that about bishop Eatons sermon

Thank you for this, Bp. Satterlee.

We discovered on our own since end of last year that our pastor was plagiarizing sermons. I’ve actually google search title/book/chapter he said and read along with him during his sermon. We will confront him soon about it because Im tired of it and its wrong. Its stealing and lying.

Thank you, Bishop, for the time and effort you are doing for us and for the church.

Especially wonderful video this week; thanks for doing these.

I liked this. Must have supported some my own biases.

Jesus will call us out of the tomb of the covid-19 mandated quarantine to new life! LOVE IT!
