2026 Daily Lenten Journey Day 3
One of the most common conversations I have with people is how much, or how little, God is willing to help us. Expressions like ‘God placed me,’ or ‘God chose for me,’ reflect the idea that God is actively reaching down and manipulating people. I don’t see it. What strikes me in today’s reading is…

Yesterday I wrote to you about how strongly I felt the Prophet’s warning and call to repentance. Today I’m still pondering Genesis. I decided to continue where it started for me yesterday. Here’s are today’s readings. Thus says the Lord: “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good things of the land.…

Today begins another Great Lent Journey, a journey to Pascha and the Kingdom of Heaven. Today begins another way for us to learn to love and live like God. Today begins another opportunity for us to change the way we think of life and death, heaven and hell. Each year I endeavor to offer our…

Our Lord was smeared, lied about, and ultimately executed based upon…

Read MoreYou Can’t Keep the Gospel Down
Try as anyone might, the Gospel of Jesus Christ will never be limited, nor will it be subdued. Throughout the centuries many have tried and failed to keep the Gospel of Christ down. Every time the Gospel shines for all to see the glory of God. Timothy, my son, be strong in the grace that…
Read MoreIgnoring Authority
As ‘good Americans’ we love our independence. Freedom is the backbone of our society. We do what we want. We believe what we want. We say what we want. We condemn anyone who tries to limit us. This might be the ‘American way’ but it is not the Christian way. The elder to the beloved…
Read MoreEpisode 472 – Doing Nothing is not an Option
On Judgment Sunday we are reminded that God will judge us based on our inaction, not necessarily the sins we commit. We spend so much time avoiding sins, we forget the good things we are called to do by God. We forget to allow the love we say we have for God to translate into…
