    A sermon about humbling ourselves.

    Something We Are All Guilty Of Luke 18:9-14 “God, I thank you that I am not like other people. Really, thank you, God.” Wow, does this passage ever convict! And if we are not all found guilty in hearing this parable, we are deluding ourselves. We all pray this way too often. It starts ...read more

    Two Ways To Pray, One Effective, The Other Not So Much

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2025
     | 311 views

    Our Gospel from St. Luke is the only place in the NT where we can find this parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, or tax-collector. Both go up to the Temple to pray.

    Thirtieth Sunday Integral 2025 The deuterocanonical book of Sirach, a late work in Hebrew that survived only in Gk, is kind of a long reflection on the entire OT.

    If you want to impress God with your prayers, stop trusting yourself and start trusting the Lord. Reject any self-righteous pride and recognize your own sinful, spiritual poverty.

    For years, Mike Atkinson has published a daily email humor list, which I enjoy reading. He calls it “Mikey’s Funnies,” and several years ago, he wrote: If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if ...read more

    Having A Contrite Heart

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 23, 2025
     | 308 views

    The parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector show us the importance of having a contrite heart that is aware of one's own sinfulness and lives in appreciation of God's mercy.

    ONE OF THE CHURCH’S ANCIENT LITURGIES IS WHEN THE PRIEST STARTED MASS WITH THE PRAYER “LORD, YOU WERE SENT TO HEAL THE CONTRITE OF HEART.” THE RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE WAS TO SAY, “LORD, HAVE MERCY.” WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART AND TO SEEK GOD’S MERCY? TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART MEANS ...read more

I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' Jesus indicates ...read more

    True worship begins when performance ends; Jesus frees us from religion’s stage to live honestly before the Father who sees in secret.

And you don’t need a theater to feel it. The biggest stage ever built fits in our pockets. Every post, every selfie, every opinion ...read more
