    Spiritual endowments priority

    Do you long to be a blessing to others? Then give some thought to this: Be ambitious for the higher gifts. And I am going to show you a way that is better than any of them. If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal...

    Faith without good works is dead.

    My only glory is the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, which crucifies the world to me and me to the world. Take the case, my brothers, of someone who has never done a single good act but claims that he has faith. Will that faith save him? If one of the brothers or one of the sisters is in need...

    Pray for me and pray for oneanother.

    We could pray for one another. I pray for nearly all of you, I admit to forgetting some occasionally. I appreciate it when any of you prays for me. Some of my prayers are meditative. Some spoken. Some read and recited. I imagine that each of you has various approaches that suit your beliefs and...

    Reasons For General Judgement

    I read this just before going to bed. It looks interesting. It is necessary to show why, besides the particular judgement of each individual, a general one should also be passed upon all men. Those who depart this life sometimes leave behind them children who imitate their conduct, dependants...

    Window into the past.

    Technology marches on and on. People speculated about job losses in 1968 as computers made inroads into accounting, banking, insurance, and government. Most of their speculations about job losses were conservative but some were excessive. We live in an age where computer technology has not...

    What do you make of Exodus 34?

    I did a little bit of checking and discovered that the only places that ten commandments are mentioned are: Exodus 34:28 Deuteronomy 4:13 Deuteronomy 10:4 The commandments given in Exodus 34 are different Exodus 34:10-28 10 And he said, Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I...

    The last judgement.

    Seems like some people do not think that what the Lord, Jesus Christ, says in Matthew 25:31-46 is the last judgement for everybody. But when the passage is read with some care it cannot be about anything else. At least that is what I think. Matthew 25:1-46 1 Then the kingdom of heaven will be...

    Should abortion be illegal?

    This is a moral question as well as a legal one and it has theological roots as well as civil liberties roots so do not be hasty in answering the question. The holy scriptures teach that taking a human life by murder is a sin. One of the commandments given by God is you shall not kill - some...

    What does it mean?

    Be holy 1 Peter 1:13 So, then, let your spirit be ready. Be alert, with confident trust, in the grace you will receive, when Jesus Christ appears. 14 Like obedient children, do not return to your former life, given over to ignorance and passions. 15 Imitate the one who called you. As he is holy...

    Ten Commandments.

    In the Law God gave Israel commandments. The first giving of the commandments is recorded in Exodus 20 and a second giving of them is recorded in Deuteronomy 5. Here they are, numbered in the traditional Catholic enumeration suggested by saint Augustine: Exodus 20: 1 God spoke all these words...

    This made me chuckle, but it does have a bleeped out naughty word in it.

    Who is Jesus for you?

    Last Sunday the liturgy of the Word was about the Sixth Chapter of the Gospel of John which concludes with the discourse on the Bread of Life. The great enthusiasm of the previous day of the multiplication of the loaves and fish had dissipated, for Jesus said that he was the Bread which...

    Theosis and humanity.

    In the holy scriptures there is one passage that explicitly mentions that Christians will come to share the nature of Christ. There's another passage that says Christians have the mind of Christ. These are hints, not a lot more than hints, that true humanity is found only in Jesus Christ and...

    Goodness is not enough.

    There may be a few good people in history and possibly some are with us today. Goodness is - in essence - absence of sin. Jesus was good, absolutely so, men like Enoch were good but not absolutely so or at least so it seems to me. Job was good, Blessed Mary too, but neither absolutely so because...

    There shall arise.

    In the ages following the Lord's crucifixion and resurrection it was predicted that there would be false Christs and false prophets. People who would offer miracles and would, if it were possible, mislead the elect of God. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew...

    Innocence.

    What would it be like to meet a truly innocent man, one who tells no lies, uses not deceit, is not subtle or sneaky, speaks truth without admixture. A man who does not know what evil is, cannot even begin to act wickedly, will always keep his promises. A man who will give generously because he...

    Chosen by God.

    Predestination is a word for a concept - or maybe a set of concepts - about being chosen by God for some purpose or purposes. Most of the time people us the word to discuss being chosen by God for eternal life by the saving work of Jesus Christ the Lord. The discussions about predestination are...

    An old road to life.

    God gave Moses Laws for the people of God and the Laws contained a way, an old way from our perspective, of life that leads to eternal life. Moses said to the people: ‘Now, Israel, take notice of the laws and customs that I teach you today, and observe them, that you may have life and may enter...

    Simile and Spirit.

    A simile is a comparison used to make an unfamiliar (or a strange) concept easier to understand by comparing the concept to something that is commonplace and readily grasped. The parables that the Lord Jesus Christ spoke to the crowds were similes that offered commonplace acts and objects as a...
