    Our hands are gifts from God to used for His glory and purposes.

    Whose Hands? Psalm 8:3-6 About a year ago I received an email entitled "Whose Hands". This is how it read: A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. In Michael Jordan’s hands it’s worth about $33 million. It depends upon whose hands it’s in. A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. In Mark ...read more

  • Divorce And Remarriage

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 10, 2018
     | 2,853 views

    A divorce is a legal matter. God is against it, but in some grave circumstances, it may be necessary. A Church annulment is saying that the marriage consent was substantially defective.

    27B Jesus is comparing and contrasting divorce and remarriage from what Moses allowed to his teaching. The same can be done today. e.g. We are aware of King Henry VIII of England who could not divorce Catherine of Aragon, with whom he had been unable to conceive a son, and since he could not ...read more

    There was a group of mountain climbers and one guy was on his first high climb. The climb was strenuous but at last they reached the top.

  • Giving

    Contributed by Paul Kallan on Jan 4, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 6,340 views

    When life does not flow to others through us, there is no giving. When we begin to give as God gives Himself, God fills us with more of His life. God is God because He gives Himself.

    A story that Theodor Schnitzler, an erstwhile parish priest of Cologne, narrates, explains the nature of a gift. Those were the days of hunger and misery soon after the World War II.

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 29, 2018
     | 1,339 views

    Anything that causes us to turn our backs on the two great commandments–love God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves–is sin, and needs the healing power, the forgiving power of Christ.

    January 3, 2019 Tenth Day of Christmas According to one interpretation of the overused carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, this tenth day is the one which adds “ten lords a leaping” to the list of gifts given us by our true love, Jesus Christ, who is the “partridge in a pear tree.” The ten lords, ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2022
     | 757 views

    Dorotheos said that the Pharisee was doing the right thing when he thanked God for giving him the ability to do good—as should they (the monks) themselves. The Pharisee only did one thing wrong: he passed judgment on the tax collector.

    Our Gospel today begins with some challenging words, “to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.” There’s an old joke about a psychiatrist who is seeing a new patient for the first time. The psychiatrist says, “I’m not aware of your issue, so maybe you ...read more
