    Daniel Taylor, in an article he calls Letters to My Children, writes: When I was a child, I was, like most children, afraid of things that go bump in the night.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 637 views

    Our thoughts can either bring us down or lift us up. Focusing on the negatives makes it hard to see the positives. We need to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

But we're not talking about algebra or history, we're talking about life and our relationship with God. Let's be real, there's a lot of stuff out there trying to grab ...read more

    The Extraordinary Goodness

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on May 2, 2024
     | 836 views

    We should not equate the Goodness of Jesus Christ, who is fully and truly God, with our ordinary understanding of what is good. As the Divine Shepherd, then, what made His Goodness extraordinary?

    “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees ...read more
