    A tactical preview of how we have to change our strategy for fighting our battles.

    Fighting the Enemy from Far off Part II The battle of Elah: -- While the Philistines were posted on the stony hills covered with brushwood which bounded the valley on the south, Saul and his army were posted on a similar stony ridge on its northern side. The valley, one of the most ...read more

    What St Gregory Teaches Us About Evangelization Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 1, 2012
     | 3,038 views

    Prayer is pre-eminent; the Word must inform our music; evangelization must be done, especially with the help of women.

    September 3 2012 St. Gregory the Great Verbum Domini The Book of Genesis envisions the creation of the world as more of a birthing than a creatio ex nihilo. We know that God created everything, and created it from nothing. But when the author of Genesis began his narrative, he picks up at a ...read more

    A homily regarding the miraculous healing of the Paralytic by Christ. Given on the Fourth Sunday of Paschal (Sunday of the Paralytic) at the Monastery of the Glorious Ascension.

    Dear brothers and sisters, today's Gospel reading in chapter five of the testimony of St. John tells us a wonderful story about love and forgiveness and profound healing. It is not a mushy type of story. It is not one that everyone will understand either. It is the story of a humble man who has ...read more

    Your Child Will Live Series

    Wisdom gently attracts the mind of humans to a quest and a love for what is true and good through the beautiful. The modern mind no less than the ancient mind needs God.

    Monday of 4th Week in Lent 2013 Gaudium et Spes Most commentators–even those who wrote in the first millennium–believe that John’s Gospel was the last one written. The historian Eusebius quotes Clement of Alexandria as saying that John, aware of the other three Gospels, wrote a ...read more

    People were honoring Jesus Christ as they laid down their cloaks and palm branches; what are we honoring Jesus with on a daily basis?

    Today is known as Palm Sunday. Why do we celebrate Palm Sunday? Got questions? Got answers!! - The Word of God! Palm Sunday is described in all the 4 Gospels. The narrative in Mark 11 is abbreviated but similar to the one in Matthew. So let us read Matthew 21:1-11……. Let us note a few things ...read more

    Mixed reactions to the miracles of Jesus.

    Luke 7: 11 – 17 / Seized With Fear While Glorifying God Intro: Throughout our lifetime we ask “why?” As children we ask, “why is the sky blue and the grass green?” As we grow older the “why-questions” become more difficult to answer. “Why do bad ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,747 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

    Do You Want Earthly Or Heavenly Treasures?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 21, 2021
     | 2,110 views

    Did Jesus say that we receive Earthly treasures by following Him? The answer is no. We do receive treasures in Heaven. You will want to look at my Hebraic Analysis of Mark 10:28-31 to see why the Greek and English translation of verse 30 may not be exactly what Jesus said.

    Do you want Earthly or Heavenly Treasures? Mark 10:28-31 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father ...read more

    The Antichrist And The Last Days.

     | 2,757 views

    What then does the Bible teaches concerning the coming of the Antichrist and the system that shall be in place during his rule and reign over the nations.  To answer these question one must refer to the Bible making sure all the biblical references be contextual and accurately used

    These are interesting times as nothing can compare to the charged and pregnant atmosphere that surrounds us daily with the uncertainty of what might occur next in the scheme of things. The fluidity of the situation is so fearful that many are unhinged at the end of the age happening any time soon. ...read more

    Is anything too hard for the LORD?

    THE SON OF LAUGHTER. Genesis 18:1-15, Genesis 21:1-7. 1. The promise (Genesis 18:1-15).

    Genesis: Authentic History From An Awesome God

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 14, 2023
     | 1,110 views

    This is the introduction to a series on the historical foundations of the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis. These chapters present authentic events and real people. Without them, nothing else makes sense.

    To try and comprehend the majesty and power of the Sovereign LORD God Almighty is like trying to place the entirety of the oceans inside a thimble. To hear skeptics and infidels crow that God does not exist or does not care for what is happening in this world is to hear the finite, limited, and ...read more

    Diabolical opposition to the gospel.

    TROUBLE AT PHILIPPI. Acts 16:16-34. One of the hazards of church planting is a problem of space: where and when to gather for worship. Of course, small groups can meet in our homes: but the very beginning of gospel work might, in suitable climates, take place outdoors (cf. Acts 16:13). But ...read more
