    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 7, 2021
     | 2,123 views

    By choosing active receptivity to the divine Friend, we think and feel the same way about reality and the world.

    Contemporary friendship theorists suggest that within close friendships each party is receptive to being directed by the other. This includes friendship with Mom. E.g. According to the Knoxville News-Sentinel, Police Chief Phil Keith was in the middle of a televised city council meeting in ...read more

    Whatever Price Is Required Series

     | 1,153 views

    To get the joy of Christ, we have to be willing to imitate Him in His life and even in His death.

    What are the commandments of Jesus that we are supposed to keep, and why are they important? We have to start with the understanding that God is good, and never evil. He loves us, and wants only good for us. He is all-benevolent. St. John tells us: “In this is love, not that we loved God but that ...read more

    Peculiar People

     | 3,817 views

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    If you want to face the hardships it takes to have a life that matters for Christ, arm ourselves with His attitude, choose to abandon your sin, expect abuse, and anticipate God’s approval.

    George, age 92, and Jane, age 89, were all excited about their decision to get married. They went for a stroll to discuss wedding plans, and on the way, they passed a drugstore.

     | 3,162 views

    It has been said, “God didn’t call us to be successful, he called us to be faithful.” Yet in John 15, Jesus speaks of examination, inspection, and fruitfulness. He speaks of bearing fruit, more fruit, and much fruit that God maybe glorified.

    What is success? General view of success is defined as fulfilling your role in ministry. It is trusting that your employer has placed you in a position where can achieve the God-given goals for your life, and you work faithfully toward completing those individual duties as effectively as possible ...read more

    Jesus warned His disciples that they would be hated by the world. Why? And how do we respond?

    WHAT DOES THE WORLD THINK OF JESUS? It hates Him. - John 15:18, 21, 22, 23, 24. 1. It’s easy to think of Jesus as a Mr. Rogers’ kind of guy and not think about the fact that they killed Him. He was not eminently likeable. - He called His enemies “vipers” and the “blind leading the blind.” - ...read more

    Jesus says we are not of this world, this secular society, and so those who hear us and see us will at first despise us and everything we do and say.

    Saturday of the Fifth Week in Easter 2024 Today’s Scriptures give one of the best examples of stating a principle of evangelization in the Gospel and giving an example of application in the reading from the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus had given his farewell sermon and prayers during the Last ...read more

    Jesus teaches His Commandment that we must love one another. We cannot do this on our own, but only through abiding in Jesus.

    COMMANDMENT! I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS WORD ALONE WILL AUTOMATICALLY MAKE US THINK OF THE BOOK OF EXODUS AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH GOD GAVE TO MOSES ON MOUNT SINAI. JUST THAT WORD, ALONE, APPEARS 320 TIMES THROUGHOUT 42 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. COMMANDMENTS ARE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE POWERFUL ...read more

    Loving our enemies can be impossible, or so difficult to do, but not if you know why, and the process of love and how it can overcome; turning something impossible, to something I must do.

    “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14). Introduction.
