    Do Not Fear; Only Believe

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 27, 2024
     | 687 views

    God made man and woman in His image, with the plan that they would act and become more and more good, more and more like Himself. That was the divine order.

    Thirteenth Sunday in Course 2024 In his great Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas wrote “the order of the Divine government is wholly directed to good. . .no one acts intending evil.” (ST I Q 104 Art 1) Those words are an appropriate commentary on the words from the post-exile writing Book of ...read more

    Specks, Logs And Improving Our Vision

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 26, 2025
     | 375 views

    We all know that the Internet has given us lots of opportunities to be tempted to sin, hasn’t it? Is the temptation itself sinful?

    Eighth Sunday in Course 2025 Some people don’t have the deuterocanonical book of Sirach in their Bibles, so I’ll read some of the first reading. Sirach was written in Hebrew, but over the years those versions were mostly lost, but survive in Greek. The book is mostly a compilation of proverbs, ...read more

    based on 77 ratings
     | 9,224 views

    Many people view Christianity as dry and lifeless. It doesn’t have to be that way it is a life changing experience and should be viewed with zest and exuberance because we have that assurance of Eternal Life.

    “Salvation and Assurance” Ephesians 2:1-9 There was a man named Thomas Johnson. During a week of meetings at his corps in St. Joseph, MO, he was the center of attention, laughing, smiling, joking, never a serious moment. After the final meeting given by the speaker, Major David Thomas, he gripped ...read more

    based on 71 ratings
     | 11,916 views

    Patience is more than the ability to wait in line without getting frustrated. Patience is much deeper than waiting in the doctor’s office without getting irritated. Patience is an active endurance of opposition, not a passive resignation.

    A man’s car stalled in the heavy traffic as the light turned green. All his efforts to start the engine failed, and a chorus of honking behind him made matters worse. He finally got out of his car and walked back to the first driver and said, "I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to get my car started. If ...read more

    Reminder that God is holy and a call to change our posture/attitude toward a holy and righteous God in light of that knowledge.

    I want to turn our thoughts towards the holiness of God…. and in particular, how we as human beings engage a holy God… how we can rediscover a healthy and holy fear of God.

    See The Good Shepherd Care For His Sheep

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 6, 2004
    based on 48 ratings
     | 11,739 views

    When Jesus reinstated Peter he revealed Himself as the Good Shepherd. He showed His love for one of His sheep by forgiving Peter for the three times he denied Jesus. And He showed His love for His flock by commanding Peter to feed and care for His lambs

    He has a lamb draped over his shoulders. In his hand is the unmistakable shepherd’s staff. A flock of sheep surrounds him. His eyes seem to be looking for danger or searching for a safe place to give his sheep food and water. I imagine that many of you have seen a picture or painting of the ...read more
