A man dies and goes to heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets him at the pearly gates. St. Peter says, "Here’s how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you’ve done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was.

Once there was this man who was the "picture perfect Christian".
Tithes, attendance, participation in activities you name it, he
was it!
One day as he was praying, he asked the Lord, "Lord I wonder if I
have been an obedient enough child that I might ask one favor when
I die?"
Well the Lord thought

Matthew, in recording a section of the Lord’s Prayer, “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,” used the word ‘aphiemi’ for ‘forgive’. It means to “send away”. This is the same word used in Luke 4:39 when Jesus rebuked the fever in Peter’s mother-in-law. That is the kind of forgiveness

POP-CORK GUN
Although we are the clay when compared to God’s power, we are not passive. We cannot successfully wage a war against God, but God leaves us with a choice.
Remember the story of Peter and the Wolf, how he tries to hunt a wolf with a pop-cork gun? The wolf corners him, but he is

THE BLOOD OF CHRIST- COMMUNION MEDITATION
If you’ve seen Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” you probably remember the scene of Jesus’ scourging. It’s rather hard to forget the whip with steel and bone and glass knotted in its leather striking Jesus over and over again.
There is a part

FOOD SAFETY QUIZ
In our Scripture this morning, we see that Peter has a vision where a blanket full of different kinds of food and a voice announces, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replies. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."

Mom’s Bible
Mom’s Bible was old and worn,
The pages yellowed with time;
Adorned with handwritten notes
Mom penned while in her prime.
Eagerly I scanned each page,
Hanging on to her every word.
My eyes became all misty,
As within my spirit stirred.
It was like Mom was speaking
Into my troubled
