Do You Need Signs to Believe?
As Christians we ask God for all sorts of things. We ask Him for health, peace, even a good job when we want a change. Sometimes we are even blessed by Him with greater blessings than what we ask Him. He does everything we need, but we still demand more. At that time, there was…
Read MoreThe Bible Leads to Communion
We are taught by the Church to read the Scriptures daily. The Church has helped us by creating a lectionary of ‘daily readings’ to guide us. This blog is even dedicated to posting as often as we can on the Scriptures. All the reading of the Bible is of no value if we are not…
Read MoreBold Truth is Hard Truth
Truth is not relative. Truth does not change. There is no such thing as ‘your truth’ and ‘my truth’ ever. We either accept the truth or we do not. How we hear the truth is what matters for our salvation. If we hear the truth with joy, we rejoice. If not, we turn away from…
Read MoreWhom do you Desire to Please?
We all like to be liked. There is no pleasure in being disliked, that’s for sure. As Christians though, we find ourselves between a rock and hard place. We are either liked by people or we are liked by God. There is a difference. About that time, Herod the king laid violent hands upon some…
Read MoreFamiliar but Different
Have you ever wanted to read the Bible in its entirety? A very popular Christian desire is to read the entire Bible. It is almost as if Christians as a rule don’t read the entire Book on a regular basis. The Church thought about that a long time ago when it established the Lectionary. Today’s…
Read MoreLife is Greater with Jesus Christ
You might be wondering why you would want to leave the wealth and glory of the world behind ‘just’ to follow Jesus whom you have never seen with your eyes. The world has great things to offer, but all the money and prestige is nothing compared to the glory that comes with Christ. At that…
Read MoreEpisode 449 – Eyewitnesses of the Resurrection
When Christ first appeared alive with His Apostles after his resurrection, Thomas was absent. The Apostles said, “We have seen the Lord,” but Thomas needed to see for himself. Eight days later Thomas saw Christ with his own eyes and believe. Christ said, “You believe because you have seen. Blessed are those who believe but…
Read MoreEaster is Over…What now?
On Bright Saturday, also called Renewal Saturday, we glance back at last week and Pascha seems so long ago. It was just last week we were preparing our lamb and leaving for Church to light our candles and celebrate the Resurrection. Now what do we do? We don’t deny that Holy Week and Pascha is…
Read MoreAre We Listening to God?
It happens to all of us. When it comes to our relationship with God, we all like to make things harder than they ‘need’ to be. We put obstacles in front of ourselves and others that God never put Himself. God already told us what we needed to do, but are we listening? At that…
Read MoreOur Work Must Go On
Shortly after the Resurrection ‘experience’ of the Apostles, it was clear there was more work to be done. Instead of ‘just’ sitting around celebrating the Lord’s Resurrection, they realized their purpose. Judas had killed himself, so the Apostles replaced him with Matthias. There was more work to accomplish. I feel the same way today. We…
