    In one sense, God gives us the freedom and option to serve Him or not. We know the outcomes of that choice, so it is not really an option to reject Him.

    Serving God Is Not Optional Patriots have their eyes open to the destruction of our republic. Even the people who are asleep or are not patriotic know something is wrong. Our forefathers knew that having God as the basis of our society was essential, not optional. They knew that when people know ...read more

    Hell has gotten a bad rap these days. Dante wrote about its amusement park, but that’s fallen into disrepair. It’s no longer on the list of any popular tourist destinations.

     | 4,859 views

    Who are the "poor in spirit"? Are they rich people with a poverty mentality? Are they poor people who are discouraged? Are they people who don’t have the strength of mind to make it in the world and Jesus wants to take them out?

    Matthew 5 - Part 2 - So all of a sudden Bankruptsy is OK? When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one ...read more

    True love sees the need, feels the need and meets the need.

    In nearly 27 years of pastoral ministry, I have been asked some tough questions about the Christian faith. One of the toughest questions regards the problem of evil and why a good and all-powerful God allows people to suffer in this world. Peter Kreeft, a Christian apologist and philosopher, has ...read more

    Nobody can be like Christ and attract others to the community of faith without being filled with His compassion.

    Thursday of 6th Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei "Get behind me, you adversary! For you are not on the side of God, but of men." I suppose St. Peter, who was just plain Simon Peter at the time, was confused by what Jesus had just said to him. After all, he was supposed to be the ...read more

    We have seen the signs. "Will Work For Food". Would it be unreasonable to suggest "Must Work For Food"?

    Some have suggested that the able bodied poor should perform some sort of work or community service to receive benefits. Of course, others have opposed it.
