    There is a way that the church should look to the world. It should be a light that shines love through the darkness of seperation from God. It’s a light that does not judge, but brings conviction by itself.

    Being the Church Phi 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, Phi 2:13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

    Mild Mannered Man

    As we look at the life of Jesus Christ it helps us understand more about the nature and character of God. Jesus exhibited meekness, not weakness, for the higher cause of mankind’s salvation.

    Mild Mannered Man Mtt 16:13-17 Peter- standing in the physical presence of Jesus- but his understanding- did not come by- natural senses. His understanding- who Jesus was-came by revelation. Today, each person needs- same revelation of Christ. Much can be learned about Jesus by His ...read more

    Making a choice to serve Jesus (Luke 16:1-13)

    This is one of the more difficult passages of Luke’s Gospel, and the interpretation of it divides commentators and preachers. What are we to make of it? I think the key to it is, once again, to look at it in the context of the central theme of Luke’s Gospel – what does it mean to ...read more

     | 3,627 views

    Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts and clear our hearts of anything that hinders our relationship with him. Once he has done this, we can come before him with thankful hearts.

    How many of you have ever had a spotlight shined directly on you? Was it a comfortable experience? In 1 John 1:5-10 God is described as light, and sometimes that light is very uncomfortable when it’s shined on us. God is infinitely holy, utterly righteous and morally pure. He shines his light ...read more

    There is a special set of charisms and sufferings for those called to pastoral office in the Church.

    Christians, especially Catholics, should never be surprised by suffering and pain. If we are surprised, it ought to be if we do not suffer pain and disappointment and grief. Jesus told us that during His absence, we would weep and lament while the secular world rejoices. St. Teresa commented ...read more
