You Cannot Sneak into Heaven
As Christians we admit there is just one way into heaven. We can only ‘get into’ heaven through Jesus Christ. That is one reason I often speak about the importance of the truth of Who Christ is. There is another truth to accept. Since Jesus is the only way in, no other way will work.…
Read MoreThe Importance of BEING Orthodox
Whether you agree with recent statistics or not, you cannot deny the plentitude of groups calling themselves Christians. One recent statistic counts Christian denominations at more than 43,000 separate governing bodies of ‘churches’, all claiming to the be the ‘true’ Church of Christ.

Read MoreWhat is Love?
There is a saying that you can’t define love. The reason for this isn’t that we can’t love, but that we don’t love the way we are supposed to love. There is another saying. “God is love,” so if we want to know what love is, then we must know God. At that time, the…

When we think of the Holy Canons of the Church, we most often think of them as ‘laws’ to be followed. They should be followed but not because they are laws. In the story of the women bent over for eighteen years, Christ reveals the true purpose of the Law. Following the laws and Canons…

Read MoreMaking Everything about God
Every now and then I’m asked how I can make everything about God. Is it required that Christians think of God every second of the day, even when we’re enjoying that morning cup of coffee? Today I have some practical advice on how to ‘practice’ making everything about God. Today is the Feast of the…
Read MoreThanks for What?
We are told as Christians to be thankful. Even the act of communing with God is called Divine Thanksgiving, or Holy Eucharist.
