    We look at the fall of King Saul. We see how he rationalized his sins by selective obedience, shifting blame, and subterfuge. Then we study the true nature of obedience and end with an enlightening story.

    Unlike any other nation, the Hebrews had a conviction, seared into their collective consciousness by the mighty deeds of God, that the one God, ruler of heaven and earth, had picked them out to be His special people.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Course 1 Sam 15: 16-23; Mark 2: 18-22 One of my friends who can’t attend daily Mass but devoutly reads the lessons each day was commenting on “how boring” the recent readings from Samuel are.

    You’ll be like the Christmas tree that you remove from your house after the holidays. It is planted in a metal tree holder, the needles will fall off the moment you try to pick it up. The person who hasn’t experienced the love of Christ is nicely decorated but falls apart when handled.

Ron was born in Ada, Oklahoma to hard working parents. His father had served in the Vietnam War and neither parent felt church was ...read more

    The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 Samuel 15. The man who stood head and shoulders above all the people is imploding like a skyscraper building with the walls blown out.

    The bigger they are the harder they fall. It is dramatic to see a skyscraper building brought to the ground. Dynamite blows out the walls and the building collapses to the ground. What once filled the skyline becomes reduced to a pile of rubble. The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 ...read more

    Better That Christ Go To The Father

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 28, 2022

    As we enter this week before Pentecost, we are reminded today why Jesus told us it’s better for us that He go to the Father.

    Monday of 7th week in Easter Acts 19: 1-8/John 16: 29-33 I suspect that we are all like the early Christians, like Mary Magdalene, wanting to cling to Jesus, wanting to be able to touch him and see him and hear his voice speaking words of love and tenderness and reassurance. Especially now when ...read more

    Many of the exiles thought they were being punished for the sins of their ancestors.

    Saturday of the 19th week in course Human beings sure like to whine, don’t we? Something bad happens and we look around for someone to take responsibility, somebody to blame for our misfortunes. Ezekiel faced that during his long exile in Babylon. He was constantly asked why by the Israelites who ...read more

    No doubt the young Samuel, like the Child Jesus, ‘became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him’ (cf. Luke 2:40).

    GROWING BETTER IN BAD TIMES. 1 Samuel 2:18-20; 1 Samuel 2:26.

    When we are faced with someone who thinks they are better than we are we try to rise above this through the reassurance that we would never treat anyone else the way they treat us. But with that kind of attitude, are we really any better?

    At one point in our lives, I am sure that we have all have come across someone that has an “I am better than everyone else, especially you” mentality. I myself have encountered this kind of attitude at multiple points throughout my life. I have experience it in the food service industry in which I ...read more

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 20, 2017
     | 12,093 views

    If we trace God’s hand back to the book of Genesis and follow it through the OT we see God as the creator of two institutions. (1) The family and (2) the church. And we quickly realize that the two are very closely related.

    FAMILY MATTERS “God’s Family….Better Together” Acts 2:42-47 “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God, I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood, joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this side; I’m a part of the family, the family of God.” Have you heard that before?
