"Carbon Offsetting" by elizaIO is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
By the Reverend Dr. Warren Crews
One of my favorite op-ed columnists is Tom Friedman of the New York Times. He usually writes very serious articles about political topics. However, I remember a number of years ago, when he wrote about a serious topic—carbon emission offsets—in a very humorous fashion. Now, carbon emission offsets are mostly an effort to enable companies to make up for their own excessive carbon emissions by funding green projects elsewhere. Friedman and some dinner companions had thought of a great idea to promote even more green projects: offsets for the Ten Commandments!

Get Behind Me, Satan!, Ilya Repin / Public domain By the Reverend Kevin McGrane, Sr. If today’s Gospel passage had a title, it could be, “I’m not the Messiah you were expecting.” Let me explain that. The passage we read a bit ago starts with the words “From that time on…”, telling us that, with this incident, the ministry of Jesus and his apostles changes. It changes because this is the first time in Matthew that Jesus predicts his death and resurrection. Peter and his fellow apostles are shocked. At this time, they don’t know a thing about this. Peter says, “God forbid!”, and Jesus immediately turns on him and chastises Peter, calling him “Satan” for saying such a thing. Jesus’s death and resurrection is the very reason why he is here. Peter is challenging the very reason-of-being for Jesus’ incarnation.
