The command to become poor for the Gospel’s sake is really a liberation to preach the Gospel.
Tuesday of Second Week in Easter John 3 Today’s reading from Acts is a little scary. We always worry about the preaching of the Gospel, lest it impact on our lifestyle. It looks today as if Luke is telling us to sell our property and give it to the poor or to the community for the poor. A ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 10:7-15
Jesus tells us that he will not miss the pain and suffering, because that is an integral part of our fallen human nature, and he was like us in all things except sin.
Monday of 11th Week in Course Church from Eucharist Today’s reading from Matthew makes me squirm a bit. Maybe you, too. In modern English, we might say, if someone takes your shirt, go to your closet and give him your sport coat as well. That’s not to mention the radical call to nonviolence we ...read more

Are we called to be Peacekeepers or Peacemakers, some do not know the difference. We are weapons of Peace, givers of Peace, and makers of Peace.
Peacekeeper or Peacemaker Matt 5:9 When looking up Peacekeeper in an Encyclopedia one would find some of the following; various weapons like the Colt 45 called by Sam Colt “the peacekeeper” you would also find a missile system built during Ronald Reagan’s administration by the same name.

Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13
God gives us abundant consolations in our ministry, but does not grant us the privilege to be comfortable.
The God of Consolation Monday of Tenth Week in Course 2013 St. Paul seems almost obsessed in today’s reading with the word paraklesis. In seven verses he uses some form of the word at least nine times. Paul is certainly trying to tell the Corinthians, and us, something ...read more
