You Have the Strength
I hear it all the time. I experienced it often throughout my life. We all have moments of doubt. Do we have enough strength to do what we have to do to be healed by God? I’m here to tell you, YES, you have the strength. You will always have the strength to reach God.…
Read MoreWalk the Walk and Talk the Talk
You see it every day, around every turn. You see people that don’t live the way they talk. We all do it at some level. We say one thing and then do another. For Christians this can drive others away from Christ. That’s because all others see is our hypocrisy. Brethren, our boast is this,…
Read MoreStrength in Trials
I get this question often. “Why do Christians have to struggle?” I get it. Nobody likes to struggle, but without struggle, we don’t grow. If everything was always easy, we would grow weak instead of strong. Without trials, our faith would fade rather than burn with passion. I was reminded about this today, because it…

Read MoreEpisode 474 – Obstacles to God
There are many obstacles between us and God. Some obstacles are from the world trying to stop us from reaching God. Other obstacles are from God to protect us from ourselves. The most dangerous obstacles are from our own making, our sins that separate us from God. No obstacle can keep us from God if…
Read MoreRepetition Leads to Faith
We should take notice when the Church repeats something. In the Liturgy, we repeat ‘Lord have mercy’ many times, along with other prayers. In the Scriptures, even the Holy Authors repeat stories within the text. So, when the Church repeats the same story over and over, we notice. Today is the Fifth Day of Christmas…
Read MoreUnderstanding Sin
A popular trend in Christianity is to argue about sin. We argue about what it is, and what it is not. The funny thing is we fight about it to control the behavior of others and to justify our behavior. They sin, but we do not. If you have every been ‘there’ today’s blog is…
Read MoreWhose Side are You On?
Nobody knows the struggle of the Christian better than those who have endured in the past. Countless martyrs and witnesses of the Faith in Christ have stood against demons and the world for their faith in Christ. Every one of them endured the fight and so can you. I meet a lot of people who…
Read MoreBeware of Temptation
It is so easy we tend to forget the fight. It is so easy to think we have conquered sin because we don’t have any ‘big’ sins to confess. “Father, you know what I mean. I struggle just like everyone else. I don’t have any big sins to confess.” These are the words of someone…
Read MoreNot Your Call
It’s hard for everyone. We see behavior we don’t agree with, and we are tempted to judge someone. We think because we don’t ‘do what they do’ that somehow makes us the judge. Well, I have news for you. It’s not your call. It’s God’s. Brethren, it is not as though the word of God…
