    Are You Authorized

    Contributed by Douglas Kinney on Jul 28, 2004
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,182 views

    Even if churches, ministers, or ministries cast out demons in Jesus name, they can miss heaven. How? By not being authorized to do the things they are doing.

    Are you Authorized? Matthew 7:21-23 21 "Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as `Lord,’ but they still won’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven. 22 On judgment day many will tell me, `Lord, Lord, we ...read more

    We must see ourselves as branches connected to Jesus rather than Jesus being connected to us.

    John 15: 1 – 8 Fruitful Lives Intro: When we lived in Nederland, Texas, we had some shrubs in our front flower beds that seemed to grow 6 inches overnight. I cut and cut those shrubs. The more I cut; the more they grew. Finally, I cut them to within 6 inches of the ground hoping they would ...read more

    Godly Forgetfulness

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 12, 2014
     | 3,879 views

    If not left behind us, our pasts, our mistakes and sins are ever in front of us, and we spend our time tripping over or dodging them. God wants us future- focused, not past-ensnared.

    The following is a brief homily given during a weekly mid-week event called: "The Feast" at Yonge Street Mission in Toronto, Canada. The future is a big mystery. One thing that we all share in this room is a lack of knowledge about what’s going to happen in the future. Often we think of the ...read more

     | 1,982 views

    Like Abraham, Jacob and David, and like all of our individual ancestors, we fall short of the mark too often–committing venial sins of omission and commission, and perhaps even total turn-aways from God’s plan.

    Tuesday of the 3rd Week in Advent 2019 Our Confession of Sin I have to admit that this is one of my favorite weekday Masses in the whole Lectionary, because we hear the genealogy of Our Lord Jesus. These old Hebrew names don’t necessarily roll off the tongue, but the list is important, because ...read more

    A Pig’s Tale – Luke 8: 27 - 39 Intro: This is the longest demon possession story in the New Testament. It is considered to be a “healing” story because Jesus heals the man from his possession by many demons. This is not exactly what we expect to read in a “healing ...read more
