    Sing To The Lord And Bless His Name

    How does our singing in Church advance our mission and witness?

    Feast of St. Cecilia 2013 “Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.” Over and over, we read in the psalms, that our response to the saving power of God is to sing to Him. St. Augustine wrote that to sing praise to God is to pray twice. That’s so ...read more

    Leftist Factions Co-opt Rather Than Abolish Holidays

    For about the past two decades, those to the left side of the sociopolitical spectrum have made such a fuss over their hostility towards traditional American holidays and celebrations that the arising disputations have themselves become an anticipated aspect of the close of each year. It was ...read more

    In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.

    This has been called “the most troubling parable” in the Bible. Why does Jesus say we are like unworthy servants? I know I must have read this before, but somehow I glossed over it. I've got a lot of books on the parables of Jesus and most omit this one. A year ago an article in ...read more

    Dependence Day

    We like to think of ourselves as "independent." We should never want or desire independence from God. Even in our independence, we must rely on Him for many things.

    DEPENDENCE DAY (Isaiah 64:8; Jeremiah 18:5-10) Each year, on July 4th, America celebrates its “birthday.” On the 4th of July in the year 1776 – some 242 years ago, a group of colonists (who were technically Englishmen themselves) drafted a document called the Declaration of Independence – ...read more

    Have you ever considered how improbably it is that Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies made about Him in the Old Testament? (He did, of course.) We'll take a look at Psalm 2, as well as other OT passages and discover more reasons to put our faith in Him.

    We've followed our leader from the Jordan to a tomb. Now what?

    Our series’ focus this quarter has been on “following our leader.” We’ve watched and experienced through his disciples’ eyes and ears what He did and said.
