    Mary and Elizabeth offer us some insights into the disciplines and practices of the interior life.

    Our Gospel on this Fourth Sunday of Advent begins with: “Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste.” This reminds me of a sign I saw outside a church this morning, “Hurry in this Sunday to beat the Christmas rush.” Mary’s visit to Elizabeth recalls the importance of spiritual ...read more

     | 423 views

    Just as many of us travel during December, Advent reminds us of Jesus' "travel plans" to serve as our Savior. We'll use the Apostle Paul's travel plans to visit the Thessalonians as our guide.

    It’s estimated that a record 80 million Americans traveled 50 miles or more over the Thanksgiving Holiday this year. Of course, the majority (a record 71.7 million) of those traveled by car. But today they anticipate that a record-breaking 3 million people will travel by air. Yes, travel plans ...read more

    On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we pause to reflect on the theme of Love—not a vague, sentimental emotion, not the love the world markets in song or commerce—but the love of God that changes everything.

    Love Came Down: Experiencing God’s Heart This Christmas (Advent Love) 1 John 4:7–12 (NLT): "Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God ...read more

    Jesus Christ is the living Word---God’s Word made flesh giving to us the words of life through His learned tongue to help us from our weariness. Jesus was also given the ability to know how it is that we listen and obey or ignore and rebel (Isaiah 50:4- 5).
