  • Your Child Will Live Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 9, 2013
     | 3,660 views

    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

    Jesus sees us in our plight, naked and left for dead by the ravishes of sin in our lives. He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    THE NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS OF THE HATED SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37. This well-known parable is best understood within the framework of the question-and-answer narrative between “a certain lawyer” (an expert in the Scripture), and Jesus (Luke 10:25). The motives of the would-be student may well be ...read more

    Gossip the gospel.

    BUSY WAITING. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. 1 Thessalonians 1:1 - “The church of the Thessalonians” came into being as a result of Paul’s second missionary journey. After Paul’s vision (Acts 16:9) Paul, Silas and Timothy were joined by Luke and crossed the Aegean Sea into Europe (Acts 16:10-12). After ...read more

  • Trouble At Philippi.

    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

    Even the devils believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and tremble.

    A LEGION CAST OUT. Mark 5:1-20. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds, and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

  • Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,767 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

    An alternate interpretation of the sower and seed parable is offered.

    Binding the Strong Man – A Political Reading of Mark's Story of Jesus authored by Ched Myers is a fascinating look at Jesus' life and His words. It is an entirely different method than the usual Christian commentaries. The story of the sower of the seed is always seen as a spiritual ...read more

    Who was I that I could withstand God?

    PETER’S EXPLANATION. Acts 11:1-18. The turning point in Luke’s Gospel was when Jesus ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). The turning point of Luke’s second volume, the Book of Acts, is found in the breaking down of objections to the inclusion of Gentiles in the church, ...read more

  • Sheep, Wolves, Sheepdogs

    We are not called to apply the superficial wisdom of American culture to reshape our Catholic identity. We are called to alert Americans to the wisdom of Catholic culture that is given to us by Our Lord.

    Fourth Sunday of Easter 2018 The Good Shepherd In a popular movie from a few years back, the main character, a gung-ho SEAL from Odessa, tells his listeners that there are three kinds of people: wolves, sheep, and sheepdogs. The wolves prey on the sheep, the sheep cower in fear, and the sheepdogs ...read more

  • Genesis: Authentic History From An Awesome God

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 14, 2023
     | 1,135 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
