    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,935 views

    FIRE- brings light, warmth, love, gives direction, tests faith, represents wrath, is a holy calling, preparation for holy work, conveys truth and brings pardon.

    Jesus declared in Luke 12:49, “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” We think of the meek and mild Bethlehem Babe coming to bring peace on earth, good-will to men.

  • A Carpenter's Dream

    Contributed by Perry Anderson on Dec 4, 2014
     | 6,589 views

    Although we know little about Joseph’s life, we know quite a bit about his character from his actions. He demonstrated great faith. We can learn much from living Holy lives by following the example set by Joseph.

    Joseph is too often overlooked in the Christmas story. We must never fail to acknowledge the role he played in the life of Jesus. It wasn't just a coincidence that he was engaged to be married to Mary. He was chosen by God for this special calling...to be the earthly father of Jesus. God in His ...read more

    Joseph was a man who sort of had it made and life was pretty good, from his perspective. Then one day God shows up and asked Joseph to go out on limb.

    I used to be a man that was comfortable with life like it was and had no intentions of taking any risk. I had a job, a wife and two children. We had food on the table and a roof over our heads. Then God called me to follow Him in pastoral ministry and my whole world changed. I had to go back to ...read more

  • Integrity

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 23, 2011
     | 10,099 views

    A lot of people use this word, but don't know the meaning.

    A good way to define integrity is to examine one’s public versus his/her private personality. In other words, are one the same person in the light as well as in the dark? Consistency and inconsistency are therefore the key factors that determine integrity. "In the Greek original of the New ...read more

    In the Christian life, with suffering, God gives us wordless and imageless insights that strengthen and confirm faith.

    Thursday of 32nd Week in Course Lumen Fidei To get a clearer understanding of today’s Gospel, we have to take it in context. First, Jesus is addressing the Pharisees, who wanted to know when the kingdom of God would come. Remember that this sect–really a kind of political party as ...read more

    Jesus learned in his human nature that for God, all things are possible, through the words and example of his mother, Mary.

    Monday of 7th Week in Course Verbum Domini I find myself in today’s Gospel; perhaps many of us do. Perhaps it’s because so many of us have been parents of teenagers, that human pupa stage that seems designed to enrage adults. In today’s Gospel, the youngster is seen as actually ...read more

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life. As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more
