Both Saint And A Sinner

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 30, 2024

In the beginning of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul refers to these quarrelsome and divisive members of the Church of Corinth as "Saints." Can I be both Just and a Sinner, at the same time?

Thank you to Tullian Tchividjian, a Lutheran pastor from whom much of the message theme is borrowed. There’s something wonderful our Epistle lesson today that can be overlooked, in that Paul calls the Christians living in Corinth “saints.” In fact, “Saint” is a term he uses to describe all of us ...read more

Little Chunks Of Doubt

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2022

Often what we perceive as doubt is not really that severe. We experience times in which faith in Christ seems overwhelmingly demanding.

We may cluck our tongues and roll our eyes at Thomas in this snippet from John’s Gospel. “How can the unanimous testimony,” we wonder, “of those who saw Jesus that Easter evening still leave Thomas, absent without leave then, in doubt of the Resurrection?” At first glance he just looks irreparably ...read more

Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 31, 2022

I can’t help but think it was Mother Teresa’s having to suffer the loss of her father, who was murdered when she was a child, that directed her to a life of mercy.

Jesus is asked 183 questions of which he only answers 3. The expert asked a question wanting to test Jesus and he got an answer. But in the story about the Good Samaritan, Jesus is testing him—and us. The man beaten and robbed was going from Jerusalem to Jericho. So were the priest and Levite, ...read more
