Psychology can ...read more

    “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.

    We get impatient with others who represent aspects of ourselves that we have pushed away

    Doctor Jesus is like an ophthalmologist and a psychologist in our Gospel today. He is speaking about projection.

    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?" That reminds of me two men who lived in a small town who got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So, they decided to talk to the wisest man in town. The ...read more

    The Atlantic began to come in; its mighty shoulders underneath the boats lifted—lifted until the derelict had to come. The youth had harnessed infinite energy to his task.

    Working in harmony with the processes of life in co-operation with God is how the Kingdom of God works, Jesus says. Its methods may be illustrated by the case of an old derelict ship that was to be lifted-up from the bottom of the sea. In one of the tidal rivers near New York, the building of a ...read more

    Love your enemies

    There is a sign in the Princeton University Store basement which cleverly suggests: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Jesus’ ethical teaching is higher than this example because love of enemies is not a consequentialist ethic, hoping that the other person will change. Love ...read more

     | 97 views

    The scene was set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the larger group.

    Jesus builds a shield around the law or Commandments in order to create more space and distance so that we won’t even bump up against the fence or sit on the fence but rather keep a healthy distance. For example, the Yodh rhymes with mode, is the smallest, most essential stroke letter in Hebrew, ...read more

    Without Christ we are just ordinary people, ordinary creation, who don’t experience the extraordinary hand of a living God. Without Christ we are without joy, peace, wisdom, self-control, patience, and the strength to live the life it was meant to be.

    The PraiseFest in Jerusalem Scripture References: Luke 19:35 – 40; Matthew 21:8 –11; Mark 11:8 - 10 Introduction The donkey awakened, his mind still savoring the afterglow of the most exciting day of his life.

    Title: An Amazing Christmas Introduction: When we think about Christmas there are a lot of things we can hardly believe, things we kind of place in fantasyland.

    Jesus chose twelve ordinary men to proclaim His Gospel message. It was not the Pharisees, rabbis, priest or scribes that He chose but ordinary men. If Jesus chose the weak of this world to shame the strong don't be surprised when He comes calling you!
