     | 481 views

Maughmer, Jr PRAYER SCRIPTURE: - Matthew 22:37-40 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

    based on 54 ratings
     | 3,541 views

    We all need to treat our own dreams and the hopes of those around us with respect, because it is easier to crush someone’s hope than to be with them as they look towards a difficult future.

    Hopes and Dreams- Langdon Christmas Service (A Secure Forensic Hospital for patients with psychiatric and/or learning disabilities) Christmas is quite a strange time, full of contradictions. For many, it is a time of happiness and excitement- for others, a time carrying many sad memories. But ...read more

    Have you ever noticed a child can help you realize how dirty a place is? My youngest daughter Ashley is a human vacuum. No matter how clean we have the house she can discover the tiniest things. I suppose what I should do is get down on all fours and crawl around the house to get close to ...read more

    Monday After Trinity You Will Be My Witnesses 5/31/10 The Church is always celebrating the presence of the Lord Jesus in Her midst.

     | 4,003 views

    Jesus feeding the 5,000 is not only about sharing, but added value. All you can eat means: you can get all life has to offer

    "By the breaking of the bread, he makes it into a seedbed of food--for if the bread had been left intact and not pulled apart and broken into pieces, they would have been unable to feed the great crowds of men, women, and children....Mysteries are made manifest, so that what did not feed the ...read more

    I Am The Bread Of Life

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 24, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,418 views

    The real content of hope is the immortality of the self in eternal life. Spiritual hunger is a hunger within that nothing physical will ever fill. It is a longing to be connected to our Creator.

    18B There is a folk saying about food that we’ve all heard, “You are what you eat,” by which what is usually meant is that your body takes on the characteristics of the food you consume. In ancient times, it was basically thought of in reverse, ‘You eat what you are.” We are immortal beings. The ...read more

    Monday of 7th Week of Easter Gaudium et Spes Paul’s first visit to Ephesus, which was destined to be the most influential early Christian community in the area we now call Turkey, did not fit the pattern of his other entries into towns.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 5, 2021
     | 3,214 views

    Jesus is doing disruptive even violent actions here, shocking me out of my consumerist mentality. No wonder my Savior hangs on a Cross.

    Whipping us into shape? “He made a whip out of cords.” John 2:15 Jesus made a whip. Making something with your hands can be therapeutic. Making a whip shows his anger did not impair his judgement. Writing an angry letter is a good way of bringing our feelings out so that we can see them. ...read more

    Saturday of the 9th week in Course 2024 There are only a few precious stories in Scripture about the childhood of Christ, mostly like this one in Luke’s Gospel.
