    In marriage, we are going to encounter conflict at some point. And at some point, we're going to fight dirty. And we will be both on the receiving end and the giving end of these dirty tactics.

    Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Apr 19, 2020
     | 4,873 views

    What is Easter all about? What does Jesus' death and resurrection mean for our lives? These are the central questions of the seven-week Easter season. We may not be able to fully understand the meaning of these questions answers, but that does not stop us from bearing witness to those answers.

    What is Easter all about? What does Jesus’ death and resurrection mean for our lives? These are the questions that have been on my mind and heart this past week. Is Easter a one-day holiday in the spring where we simply gather with family for a nice meal, maybe exchange small gifts, hunting ...read more

    Sour Grapes

    From blame to shame. A call to repentance.

    SOUR GRAPES. Ezekiel 18:1-4; Ezekiel 18:25-32. It seems to be very much a part of fallen human nature that we want to blame someone else for the things that go wrong in our lives. This all began in the garden of Eden, after the first couple ate of the forbidden fruit. Adam blamed both his ...read more

    Party On! Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,747 views

    We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

    The Gospel Succeeds Even In An Age Of Fecklessness Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2020
     | 2,760 views

    We need to continue on the path we were set on by Jesus long ago–the path to holiness. That means giving up everything of this world that keeps us from imaging Jesus and Mary.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Course 2020 Saint Mark gets right to the point, just like the high priest Eli. But Saint Mark gets the whole picture, and Eli does not. Mark’s Gospel is designed to demonstrate to his Roman audience–and us–that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Messiah. Look how few ...read more

    AN ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. Matthew 19:13-30. 1. In today’s passage, we see the disciples forbidding those who would bring little children to Jesus (Matthew 19:13).

    Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2022
     | 1,722 views

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus. If I bet money, I’d lay odds that anyone age 65 or older in 2022 can at least give a general outline of the life of Christ, even if he or she didn’t think ...read more

    If the house, once cleaned of this demon, is not filled with goodness, the evil spirit will return with seven more vices and perversions and make our souls even worse, our souls and families even sicker.

    Third Sunday of Lent 2017 Extraordinary Form Today we find Christ, speaking through the Church’s liturgical texts, teaching us about the birds and the bees.
