    BIG IDEA: We can point people to God, but we can also stand in their way. - Matthew 23:13. - The idea here is blocking the door or pointing someone in the wrong direction. - This is something we should pause and consider how heartbreaking the image is: someone seeking spiritual truth, someone ...read more

I get worked up at umpiring and refereeing decisions – perhaps not as much as St. George supporters, but worked up nonetheless. I get worked up when Damien takes the last ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 14, 2014

    Teaching Christian values without bringing our children to faith in the Risen Son of God, condemns them to eternal death. The Pharisees stand as a beacon warning Christians not to succumb to the lure of presenting Christian values.

    “Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s ...read more
