What Jesus Has Done
In the Gospel lesson for the 6th Sunday of Luke, we hear how Jesus cast out many demons from a man who had been tormented for years. The demons were so fierce, they “had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was…

With the war in Israel on everyone’s minds these past few days, many are wondering why God allows such violence. If God is all powerful, He could (and should) stop such horrific events from taking place. Since God doesn’t stop all violence, then we must accept there is a different perspective through which we should…
Read MoreEpisode 407 – What We Need, Not What We Want
We all ask God for things, but God does not always give us what we want. Having wants is not necessarily a bad thing. When what we want is not what we need, we need to trust God more than we know. God may not give us what we want, but He will always give…

Christ is Risen! Our society spends countless dollars on healthcare. We pride ourselves on a system that has the capacity to heal just about any illness that affects us, save a few. It is no wonder then that when a member of our family approaches death, we become frantic that ‘something’ must be done. We…
Read MoreEpisode 395 – Don’t Turn Your Back on God
When the Paralytic admitted to Christ that he didn’t have anyone to help him enter the water and be healed, Christ healed him. When we entered the waters of our Baptism, Christ healed us. The Paralytic went and praised God after he was healed. Most of the time we go through life and ignore God.…

After Christ was raised from the dead He appeared to the Apostles. Since Thomas wasn’t present, he did not believe the witness of his fellow Apostles.
