Repent or Perish | March 23, 2025—Lent 3C

The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the third Sunday in Lent. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God's invitation to attentiveness: "Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live." The landowner's ultimatum is forestalled by the gardener's readiness to till the ground one more year. That is good news for all of us. Thanks be to God! Special thanks to Pastor Andy Pull, pianist David Ackerman, and reader Jane Dettman!
