For apart from the law, sin lies dead. I ...read more

    Being quiet before God is as important as being busy for him.

We read then how Jesus sent out the twelve disciples in ministry for the first time. Today ...read more

    Jesus calls us to be fishers of men, to follow him. He doesn't call us to lives of safety, but of salvation.

    This story that we have in the gospel reading for today is one that makes me smile because I feel like I know exactly what Simon is thinking here in this moment. I have had days like this fishing. Days where I’ve been out for hours and hours and there’s just nothing. And we tried everything, ...read more
