A question of hope

Our hope is not in this life or this world, but do we all have the same measure of hope in our future promise?  Do the circumstances of this life guide our measure of hope?  Do they change how willing we are to let go of this life?  Should they?

A sad but beautiful refinement

Before the return of Christ, a great apostasy will occur.  Unpleasant but necessary, this is a stage of the Church's purification that we cannot ignore or dispel as some future event too removed in time from us.  The warning is there for all that great deception is ahead and that all are vulnerable.

Times and seasons

Eras, seasons, and times. That is what we expect to experience in this life.  Or perhaps life is just one long yet brief season.  Or perhaps it is both.

Running for the Lord

Each of us is in a race, and it should be our desire to finish and finish well. God sets the course, but we must do the running. Let us seek not only the ability to run but the discernment to see the course ahead because each has his own race.

The weeds of the fields

As the Lord plants good seed, the enemy plants his weeds.  While we must navigate life today with this infiltration of evil, we can rest on the promise that the future day of harvest will banish those weeds forever.

A life well lived

The value of a life

They got it right.  The shedding of innocent blood cannot stand.

Relatively speaking, truth is truth

Pilate asked the Lord, "What is truth?"  Only the word of God reveals the answer.

Commit your ways

The word is clear. If you commit your ways to the Lord, He will establish your plans. He did it for me. He can do it for you. The book that has been on my heart to write is now complete because of him. Just like that, He made a way. You can check it out at the link below.

Mosaic: a man in pieces

Simon says

What do we say when asked the simple, foundational, yet controversial truths of our faith?  The answers will tell us what we really believe and who we really follow.
