    To share that we need to unload un-needed weight from our lives and hand it over to Jesus.

    I Believe in life we have many things that weigh us down and more times than not, they are things that we can easily let go of but we tend to hold on to them with dear life, weighing ourselves down so much that moving forward is non-existent and almost unachievable in our minds. Today I want to ...read more

    Almost certainly in our lifetime we will also have to follow Christ to our own cross. Probably not a bloody martyrdom, but the culture hates the Church and all who follow Christ.

    Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024

     | 789 views

    Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

    THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN CREATE FEAR AND POSSIBLY DISTRESS DUE TO THEIR BLUNT, BUT HIDDEN MEANING. IN LUKE 14:26, WE ARE TOLD THAT “IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS—YES, EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE—SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE MY ...read more

    Simon of Cyrene came to offer a lamb and carried the cross for the Lamb of God. One-half mile separated the Temple from the Cross; Simon saw both covenants in operation and sided with the grace of Jesus!

Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there; so, he said to his mother, “He is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “She is your mother.” From that ...read more
