    “feet shod with the kind of shoe created for the Gospel of peace.”

    General Douglas MacArthur wrote that there are 4 things necessary to win any battle. One is strength-- We hear Mark 3:27 in our Gospel, “no one can enter a strong man's house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder the house.” Jesus explains that ...read more

    A man was out on the golf course. He spotted another man who seemingly had four caddies. “Why so many caddies?” the first man asked the second. The second golfer replied, “It’s my wife’s idea. She thinks I should spend more time with the kids.” I suspect he’s the same Dad who was asked by his ...read more

    “Gift” is only gift if we give all the pieces.

    Percent means “parts per hundred,” from the Latin, per centum. Edward Denison, in 1060, thought of a neat phrase, “Three percent is greater than two percent by fifty percent.

    Transformation by an alternative Eucharistic consciousness in Jesus Christ.

    We just heard John 6:52, “The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

    based on 156 ratings
     | 29,978 views

    The call of Abraham is addressed in three elements contained in the following statement: ’God calls ordinary people.’

    There’s a children’s Bible song called “Father Abraham.” The words speak of Abraham having many children, and also speaks of you and I being Abraham’s children.

     | 27,070 views

    It was no ordinary seed. It was a seed of destiny, a seed of promise, a seed of kingdom significance, the seed of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

    Matthew 13:31-32 - SMALL SEED, INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL - Part 13. When I read the Parable of the Mustard seed I am left with some serious questions. Jesus just tells the story in two sentences and leaves it at that. No explanation. He just says "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in ...read more
