The power of God’s word, spoken to Peter and the others by the very Word of God, Son of the Father, was enough to kick in the adrenaline and motivate the fishermen to fish longer in the worst time of day in the part of the lake with the worst prospects.

Fifth Sunday in Course 2025 The first thing that strikes me as I read today’s Gospel is that Peter and his fishing crew had been working all night and then had cleaned their nets. These professionals had just worked at least ten hours and were ready to go home. Jesus came along with hundreds of ...read more

We are called to go about the business given to us by God and while we may be challenged by the parable of the sheep and goats we should not be fearful, having faith that as we love our Lord, he even more deeply loves us.

The Call

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Apr 3, 2006

I think we need to un-complicate the idea of being called, lest it become something people think they cannot attain or aspire to. We have all been called out...

I would say that one of the questions that people ask me most these days is this, “How can I know what my calling is? Or what am I supposed to be doing as a Christian?” I believe these questions come from two places: one is a sincere desire to begin doing what you and I were made for; the other is ...read more

God calls us to be holy as He is holy. Is this even possible? Consider these thoughts about how we are holy.
