Good Enough for Jesus and Us!

Good Enough for Jesus and Us!

As the gospels tell the story of Jesus living out the acts of our salvation, two great lessons emerge we all need to take to heart. First, Jesus lived the life he calls us to live. Second, Jesus did not say we get to pick and choose what to follow, ignore or be lukewarm on. These are examples of leadership and discipleship we all need to take to heart.

The Cheerio and the Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Cheerio and the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I cleaned up the mess of a 15 month old boy's self instruction in the art of eating, only to find an hour later I missed one more little crumb maker in a corner of the kitchen. I used to get mad at messes like this, but over the last year I've chilled out a lot.

Was this a Test of Faith?

Was this a Test of Faith?

Fear of God at foot of the Mountain

Do not let fear of God make you tremble like a child who touched the cookie jar, or the Israelites at the foot of Mount Sinai. Such fear keeps you from internalizing a healthy Fear of God.

Christ the Judge in a World of Noise

Christ the Judge in a World of Noise

The world is full of man-made noise. Noise, sounds and vibrations with no Godly organization, only serve to distract us from our ingrained mission of finding and loving the Lord. This means if we want to draw ourselves to the Lord, we must through force of will, ignore the world's noise so our souls can make music in harmony with God's intended design for the world.

We Must Preach With Words

We Must Preach With Words

A common phase we hear today is the St Francis saying of "Preach the gospel at all times, if necessary use words." In our overly politically correct culture, we get bombarded with messages saying words of evangelization offend people and turn them off to the faith.
