    If we take a close look at the state of the traditional family as we enter the twenty-first century, it would not be far from the mark to ask ourselves, "Who's minding the store?"

    If It Can’t Save Us, Why Did God Give The Law?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 31, 2017
     | 4,206 views

    This sermon answers two big questions: 1. Why do I need the Law to make me aware of my sin? 2. Why would I want the Law to make me aware of my sin?

    A Question: “If it can’t save us, why did God give the Law?” - Romans 3:19-20. - To clarify as we begin: when Paul here speaks of the Law, he has in mind the Mosaic Law given to Israel by God. - By extension, we could make similar point about the truth of God generally. - The Law does not save ...read more

    based on 2 ratings

    "Why does the Bible make unbelievers uncomfortable?" This discomfort isn't a new phenomenon. Throughout history, the message of the Bible has often been met with resistance and unease.

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C -- The Word Nonviolent Can Be An Adjective, It Modifies How

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2025
     | 401 views

    Jesus is asking us today not so much as “how can I find a gracious God? But “How can I find God in my enemy?” And, how can we be children of God in real life without loving our enemies?

    The fictional Klingon language from Star Trek has no words for love. Of course, the Klingons were creatures of pure logic, not emotion. So, the closest words for “love” in their language were “honor” or “unhate.” That would be easy for us if we could define love simply as “unhating” others. ...read more
