The doctor said, "There’s only “one thing” that will save you. “A brain transplant.” - It’s an experimental operation. And it’s very expensive." The wealthy guy said, - ...read more

    We live in a "me centered" world and that creeps into the church and I try to make spiritual things about what I want.

    Allow me to begin with a little test. (I did an illusion called "What Next" where the dots on a card change and the audience is fooled.) Isn't it true that our eyes play tricks on us and we can be easily deceived? Here are some Bible passages that warn us of this. 2 Corinthians 11:2-4 2I am ...read more

    Even when confronted they were abrasive and uncooperative, malevolent. It took some time to EVICT them, and there was always the danger that they would RETURN.

    When people see you coming, do they say, "Praise the Lord, here comes Sunshine?" or do they regret your entrance by saying, "Oh no, here comes Mr. Cloud!"

    Text: (Jude 1:12 KJV) These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; >(Jude 1:13 KJV) Raging waves of the ...read more

    Creativity--The Opposite Of Liturgy Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 21, 2011
     | 3,129 views

    Our profession of faith in Christ is guided not only by Scripture, but by the Fathers of the Church, the historic creeds, and our liturgical tradition.

    Monday of the 5th Week of Easter Spirit of the Liturgy Mistaken identity. It’s an embarrassment, and occasionally a lethal inconvenience. Consider poor Jude here. No wonder he appears to have preferred the name “Thaddeus,” and became patron saint of hopeless causes. Even the ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,607 views

    This world is not our home,. However, the Lord is not taking His disciples immediately out of this world. Instead, He equips us with a model of love and humility for our continuing sojourn here.

    WASHING THE DISCIPLES’ FEET. John 13:1-17. John concludes his account of Jesus’ public ministry with one last urgent appeal in which our Lord “cried out” (John 12:44) with a vehemence not unlike His cry at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:43). Jesus does not cease to call the spiritually dead to new ...read more
