    A culture obsessed by sensory suggestion refuses to admit categories of transformation. But that is what Jesus Christ intends to do, and we desperately need Him to do it.

    Monday of 15th week in course For Catholics raised on family values, Matthew’s transmission of Jesus’ words today are something shocking. No peace—sword—a man’s foes will be those of his own household: these are profoundly disturbing images. But in the world of Matthew, who wrote for a ...read more

    This is a desperate call from a loving Father to come to him. There is a deep love in that call to get right with him and find him while he is still near.

    We do not have the time to go through all the verses this morning but please join me as we look at a couple of them. Vs.1 says: “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” That is like a call from ...read more

    The body of Christ is being built up until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

    We come today to the core issue of the letter: If we're to fulfil our destiny as a church, if we're to demonstrate the manifold wisdom of God then we must be united in heart and mind. Here in ch 4, Paul begins to outline how being the new people of God is to be worked out in the down-to-earth, ...read more

    Sickening to watch people wear surplus of gold on their neck, yardstick to measure success should be exemplary character and strong mind rather than gold and wealth.

    TRUST GOD NOT GOLD Job 31:24 “If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’…..then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.” There is a kind of obsession for gold these days, in places like South India gold and diamonds ...read more
