    Today, I'll be speaking on the topic of giving...

    The offering plate has been given a bad rap. If an offering plate could talk I wonder what it would say: * "Did you find that on the floor next to the bubble gum machine!" * "It's going to take hours to count all this change!" Perhaps the offering plate would say, ...read more

    The Habit of Fellowship - Participating in God's Family Why Don't We fellowship? Fellowship is one of the five purposes for the church, however, there is an obvious failure on many in the body of Christ to fellowship. Why then do we not fellowship? One reason is that the isolation ...read more

     | 5,035 views

    The sermon is based on real personal testimony against motivational speakers, personal development gurus and life coaches. All motivational speakers, personal development gurus and life coaches believe in God. But what kind of God? Learn more.....

    The 1990s period was an epoch period for me: I went to university, after four years of successful university studies began working. It was when I was working that I got exposed to a plethora of many ideas, or put it simply I came across self anointing ideas. To use the modern popular language I ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,813 views

    God wants to help us move away from the margins (edges) of His love and continue to grow as close to Jesus as possible.

    Overcoming Marginal Living -Several months ago Robin and I were sitting in the living room one night and all of a sudden there was a big thump! We went into Zoe’s room to check it out and she had fallen out of bed. She was fine. We helped her back in and she didn’t even remember it in ...read more

    The Horror Of Violence Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2009
     | 3,556 views

    Jesus was, in fact, nonviolent, even when he used force to expel the merchants who desecrated the Temple. Violence is incompatible with human development.

    Feast of Dedication of St. John Lateran November 9, 2009 Let’s confront a misconception about today’s Gospel, and that has to do with Jesus and violence. What Jesus did to the moneychangers and pigeon salesmen who had coopted the Court of the Gentiles was to clean them out. He used force to ...read more

     | 2,867 views

    We have a duty in charity to address issues of massive disparities in economic development and incomes.

    November 23, 2009 Bl Miguel Pro Caritas in Veritate The Old Testament had particular contempt for those who oppressed widows and orphans. In a male-dominated society, where women were almost like property rather than equal partners in a marriage, being a widow, particularly a childless one, was ...read more

    Inconveniencing Ourselves For The Kingdom Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 15, 2009
     | 3,366 views

    As the young man in the Gospel was challenged to be inconvenienced to follow Christ, so the challenge to facilitate human development may inconvenience us.

    August 17, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The sure path to eternal life, to enjoying the presence of God continually even before we die, is to imitate Jesus and Mary. They–and Jesus, the source of grace, first of all–are the great examples of bringing the Good that is God into contact with a world that ...read more

    Profit, A Means, Not An End Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 26, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,770 views

    The attitude of a child is the attitude of knowing you are incomplete, and need to grow, to change, to take the risk to be wrong.

    September 28, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The emphasis Jesus constantly puts on being childlike puzzled me until I read Carol Dweck’s great book Mindset. A child knows–perhaps without being able to articulate it–that she needs to change, learn and grow. A child knows his own incompleteness. As we ...read more

    As Christ gave Himself when we were still sinners, so we must give ourself over to the service of life and the protection of life as the key to authentic human development

    November 2, 2009 All Souls Day Caritas in Veritate When God, at the exactly perfect moment in human history, wanted to take man’s development to the final level, He did so, and continues to do so, by a selfless act of gift. While we were yet sinners he came to us, became one of us, and died for ...read more

    It's For Your Own Good

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 2, 2021
     | 3,799 views

    Last Sunday I used a phrase that you may have heard growing up: do as I say, not as I do. Today I have another that would be just as bothersome: this is for your own good. God will do things we won't like but will be for our own good.

    IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD Last Sunday I used a phrase that you may have heard growing up: do as I say, not as I do. That's a phrase we wouldn't have wanted to hear. Today I have another one that would be equally as bothersome: this is for your own good. We didn't like to hear that ...read more
