    Father Dave’s sermon on spiritual training... "I do not box as though beating the air," says St. Paul, and all the boxers in the congregation say ... Amen!

    Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it.

    The King’s New Clothes Series

     | 4,520 views

    If we clothe ourselves only in the name of Jesus, the world will see right through it - and through us. We have to put on his life, death and resurrection as well.

    If you change the word “Gentiles” in the first verse of today’s passage to “Americans” the whole lesson moves right into our own situation. They are practically a mirror of contemporary society. Listen to this: “[Americans] are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God ...read more

So, it is my prayer ...read more

And then there are moral evils - evils that people commit, for example mental, ...read more

    This is a Lenten meditation examining the relevance of the Exodus event for Christians.

    The term “fear” has two important connotations: it expresses a reverential respect for God in matters both moral and spiritual, and it also implies cowardice and timidity. On this period of Lent, as we ponder the significance of the Exodus event, we encounter an interesting dynamic between fear (in ...read more
