Come Back Tomorrow Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 25, 2009

The problem of hunger in our world is mostly a matter of people like the synagogue official who would turn away the blind and lame from the healing power of Jesus.

October 26, 2009 Caritas in Veritate There are many meanings to what St. Paul calls “living by the flesh,” and some tie in most wonderfully with today’s Gospel and the Pope’s latest encyclical.

Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 21, 2009

In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more

Like Father, Like Son Series

The Common Grace Of God

Contributed by Jerry Bridges on Apr 23, 2014

God’s common grace is an expression of His constant care for all His creation—His temporal blessings given to all humanity, saved and unsaved alike.

An instance of uncommon grace: In Exodus 16 we encounter the people of Israel in an attitude with which we are all too familiar. They were grumbling. Because they were hungry. How did God respond? With grace. He sent them quail for protein and manna for carbs. And the manna never ceased, day after ...read more

No Greater Love Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Feb 7, 2023

To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more
