“Unity —> Life Forevermore”
Love is not abstract. Love is more than something to analyze and study. Love is patient and kind and tender and giving. Love is compelling…. it makes sense. It’s more than “punching my holiness card each day …. oh yes, I love God and I love my neighbor; hey, I completed my acts of love… I pray, I give … Continue reading “Unity —> Life Forevermore”
“Serving Till The End”
I love the story of Joshua, a faithful follower of the Lord and a faithful lieutenant of Moses. He was a strong man of God who encouraged the Israelites to take the promised land despite the size and strength of the enemy: ”do not rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of … Continue reading “Serving Till The End”
“Death Shall be No More”
My brothers were born on August 17th, a year apart the same date. My mother once mentioned that she could have been induced and I would may have also been born on August 17th…..one birthday party for all three boys. Even after many years, she almost fainted at the thought. So I was born 6 days … Continue reading “Death Shall be No More”
“Hunger For God’s Will”
Sometimes I can quickly profess agreement to the words of scripture …. “oh yes, that’s very true…I agree with that… I certainly believe and follow that”. While this is a good thing, at times I may be “kidding myself”. Today I read where Jesus said, “My food is to do the will of the one who … Continue reading “Hunger For God’s Will”
“I Can Only Give Away What I Have”
Believe it or not, at times I can find myself being critical. It can range from the trivial to the significant…… “ why is that guy driving so slowly, speed it up Bub, ……. can you imagine anyone painting a house that color, they must be color-blind, bla,bla,bla.” Even if the critical thought doesn’t escape my … Continue reading “I Can Only Give Away What I Have”
“We Need To Be Encouraged”
Originally Posted Jan. 27, 2022 Have you ever been “discouraged, or down”, or even depressed” ? Well, probably a better question would be “has anyone ever NOT been discouraged or down? Most of us have to battle these negative thoughts from time to time. Yet hopefully we spend most of our time victorious over these thoughts and … Continue reading “We Need To Be Encouraged”
“The Cancer of Resentment”
Originally Posted Jan. 26, 2022 Resentment and jealousy are cancers that can destroy. In it’s most complete form it can lead to actual murder…in its lesser form it can bring about broken relationships, stilted spiritual growth, the crushing of potential in the person involved, anxiety, etc. It often spreads from one relationships to another. It’s … Continue reading “The Cancer of Resentment”
“A Happy Ending”
In today’s mass reading (Deut. 34:1-12) Moses is denied entry into the Promised land. At first glance it seems that Moses is getting a “raw deal”. After all the trials and tribulations he endured in leading the Israelites out of Egypt, and now this. God himself had praised Moses in the highest ways: “no prophet has … Continue reading “A Happy Ending”
“What’s God Thinking”
The mind of God is so far beyond our imagining. Just when I think I’ve got a few things down pat, I realize I’ve hardly begun. Yet, there are other times when I experience the Holy Spirit shining light on a passage and I feel like I’m getting a glimpse of some further meanings …. … Continue reading “What’s God Thinking”
