    They say "To err is human and to forgive divine"...a lot of truth in this statement. It really takes the power of The Lord to help us truly forgive one another.

    Mark 2:7-11 (Wey) "Why does this man use such words?" they said; "He is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One--that is, God?"... Jesus asked them, "Which is easier?--to say to this paralytic, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your mat, and walk?' But that you may know that the ...read more

But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Luke ...read more

    Loving God. I can do. Loving your neighbor. I will try, especially if they are fellow Christians. Loving your enemy. I don't if I can do that. How does a person love their enemy?

    Love Them? (Matt. 5:43-48) Intro: A. I want to start this lesson with a word found at the end of our reading. It’s the word “perfect.” “You therefore must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That calling seems to be impossible, so how could Jesus call upon us to be at the level ...read more

    So many people have decided they've messed up too many times for God to ever love them. But what does God have to say about that? Check out these thoughts from Family Minister Scott Jewell

    Knowing I was headed to inner city ministry, I decided it could be useful to have my ear pierced as a conversation starter. How'd that work? I'd go to the local park to play basketball, often getting picked first so I could go home and tell my friends about how I got to hoop with ...read more

    We must work and pray, as St. Benedict told us to do. Work for the spread of the kingdom in our families and communities, and vote as a Christian must, for godly men and women who will resist the culture of death and legislate for life, peace, and goodness.
