    Time To Get Back To Work

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 2, 2023
     | 1,701 views

    It appears like everybody needs something from us, family members, friends, bosses at work, the schools that we may attend, our churches, clubs, etc. We wind up racing through life, taking care of the necessary, the immediate, and the urgent.

    Repeatedly the important is abandoned. Our problem is not the volume of requests or lack of organizational skills, but values - what is really important to us. Our values and our priorities are reflected in how we use our assets/resources. Frequently our activities give a false representation of ...read more

    Not Without Blood

     | 4,550 views

    The ratification of the old covenant did not take place without blood. But it took the blood of Christ to bear away our sins, once and forever!

    NOT WITHOUT BLOOD. Hebrews 9:15-28. In continuing to compare and contrast the old covenant and the new, we have seen how the high priest would enter the ‘Holiest of All’ (Hebrews 9:3), alone, once a year (on the Day of Atonement) ‘not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ...read more

    The First Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Not Very Christmasy.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 12, 2024
     | 1,435 views

    The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end of the world, and when Christ comes for us at the end of our individual worlds, at death.

    Our Gospel from St. Luke today is a little unsettling. Not very Christmasy. Unseasonal thoughts about the end of the world. Yet, the word Advent from the Latin, adventus, means “coming.” The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end ...read more
