    We need to subject all our political opinions an conversation to the continuing need for repentance called to us by Scripture.

    25th Sunday in Course 2020 It’s seems like the political yard signs this election cycle have been cropping up for two years, like the rain lilies that sprout overnight after a heavy downpour. If your convictions about the relevance of your faith to society have made you politically aware and ...read more

  • The Prayer Of The Humble Pierces The Clouds

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2022
     | 698 views

    Paul had prayed all his life, as we should. “The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds.” God always hears our prayers.

    Thirtieth Sunday in Course 2022 It’s helpful for us, two thousand years since the events, to consider some background on this story, this parable, of Jesus about the Pharisee and the tax-collector, sometimes called the “publican.” The word “Pharisee” comes directly from the Greek. It means ...read more

    Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2022 Today’s Gospel might whipsaw our brains a little, particularly if you read the whole chapter. Right before this passage, Jesus has been warning His disciples, and therefore us, against teaching others to sin. That’s called scandal. Here He speaks about the ...read more

     | 572 views

    Abraham did not have to show his faith by slaying his only Son, Isaac. God the Father, however, did not hold onto His only Son, Christ Jesus, but accepted His sacrifice.

    Second Sunday in Lent 2024 St. Mark’s Gospel tells us today that “after six days” Jesus and His three lead apostles went up a high mountain. Why is “six days” important to remember? We need to go back to the previous chapter to see. The story line follows St. Matthew’s Gospel very closely, which ...read more

    He loves us, even though He has been injured in the loving.

    Christmas 2022 Why did God save us, anyway? In the beginning, He created man and woman as the summit of His work of bringing everything into being out of nothing.

     | 1,391 views

    God is a master at plot twists, isn’t He?

    Solemnity of the Incarnation 2023 The prophet Isaiah was, in my opinion, a master of irony.

    You know what happens whenever you point out some evil in the culture. The next words somebody will say are, “Jesus taught you not to judge.”

    Friday of the 22nd Week in Course Today’s Gospel is so straightforward and goes to the heart of Christ’s teaching that we can be forgiven for ignoring all the other Scriptures we have heard.

     | 83 views

    God, the Most High, has given us everything we own, so generosity in His service is only just.

    Tuesday of the Eighth Week in Course 2025 The wisdom book we have in Greek called Sirach, or Ecclesiasticus (since the early churches used it so often) reads like the book of Proverbs.
