    A different look at the story of creation...reflecting on how the creation story mirrors how God operates in our lives today.

    If we were to all truly evaluate ourselves, check our credentials and sum up our value and true worth and then from that subtract God from the equation the truth of the matter is we would come up with NOTHING We would be left with something that is void, empty, formless, and without light. Yet, ...read more

    Zeal And Jealousy And Envy--O My!

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 13, 2022
     | 1,265 views

    We learn from this story a lot about jealousy. It can be confused with righteous behavior, as in this story. It is essentially self-centered.

    Saturday 4th Week of Easter Jealousy. Envy. These are two attitudes that literally can tear a community apart–a church, a political body, a family. We can learn a great deal about these sins from the Scripture. Here we see two results of the preaching and healing done by Paul and Barnabas on their ...read more

    We're all familiar with the story of Mary and Joseph and the baby in the manger... but where does God fit into the story?

    “i Do”

    Contributed by David Roth on Jan 13, 2015
     | 5,894 views

    Proper 23 (A), 18th Sunday after Pentecost. We enter into the wedding feast of the Lamb when we believe His word of promise and come in faith, to praise and honor Him. Those who did not enter were centered on themselves instead of Christ.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “I Do” “I do.” Two small little words with big impact. While they can be used on many occasions, we immediately associate them ...read more

    Way Back Into Love

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Feb 15, 2021
     | 5,245 views

    Relationship can be very complicated. Family members hate each other, siblings rival, friends unfriend each other, lovers quarrel. Christians are not exempted of these realities.  In any relationships, the key is to find your way back into love.

    # LOVE IS A PRIORITY, NOT AN ACCESSORY 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 1 If I speak (our words) in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers (when you operate in what God has given you), and understand all mysteries and all ...read more

    Attaining True Human Dignity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 18, 2021
     | 1,657 views

    During this Christmas season, it makes sense that we should follow Mary’s prophetic declaration, “all generations will call me blessed”, by praying her prayer, the Magnificat, and asking God to give us the same spirit of obedience she had.

    December 22 The Magnificat Today's vesper antiphon speaks to Jesus as the "King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart." One of the now "traditional" movies lots of people see each Christmas is one set in the middle of the last century. It's called ...read more
