Christ is The Word of God and Saviour of the world. He is the Word that can save you. Yet there is a sense in which what Jesus taught can save you too - not by doing what he said, nor by believing what he taught and then nothing more - it involves doing what Jesus commanded and believing what...
Some acts are good, such as feeding the starving, housing the homeless, and showing kindness to the oppressed yet even good deeds can be done for corrupt reasons:
The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus, and they noticed that some of his disciples...
I am confident that God's name is not spelled "holy" but sometimes I almost think that it is. Mary's words when Elizabeth greets her make me think so.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my saviour, for He has looked with favour on His lowly servant.
From this...
Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis
To the People of God
“If one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the...
John 6:60-69 After hearing his doctrine many of the followers of Jesus said, ‘This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?’ Jesus was aware that his followers were complaining about it and said, ‘Does this upset you? What if you should see the Son of Man ascend to...
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Revelation of John 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit...
The holy scriptures instruct faithful Christians to guard what they say and to avoid calumny, gossip, and slanders as well as many other ungodly uses of spoken and written words. It is wise to take that message to heart. Guard your tongues and when typing guard your fingers. That is the advice...
In politics promises are given as if the one making the promise will really be able to fulfil it but the holy scriptures warn against placing one's trust in political leaders. That's sound advice for today.
Do not put your trust in princes, in any child of Adam, who has no power to save. When...
Jesus Christ
King
Of the Jews
So wrote Pontius Pilate on a board to be placed above the head of Jesus on the cross. It was mocking the Lord. But like Caiaphas who spoke prophetically concerning Jesus "it is better for one man to die than for the whole nation to perish" so here Pilate writes...
What is this fulfilment that the Lord Jesus Christ spoke about?
Matthew 5:17-20 17 Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfil. 18 Amen I say to you, certainly, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, not one dot shall pass...
Saint Matthew's gospel gives us the "sermon on the mount" which is a moral and spiritual fulcrum for Christians, but what does it all mean?
Matthew 5:3-16 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth. 5 Blessed...
Saint Paul wrote: 20 But no, Christ has been raised from the dead, and he comes before all those who have fallen asleep. 21 A human being brought death; a human being also brings resurrection of the dead. 22 For, as in Adam all die, so, in Christ, all will be made alive. 23 However, each one in...
1Corinthians 15:20 But no, Christ has been raised from the dead, and he comes before all those who have fallen asleep. 21 A human being brought death; a human being also brings resurrection of the dead. 22 For, as in Adam all die, so, in Christ, all will be made alive. 23 However, each one in...
I have a number of bibles and some of them have cross references. Among my KJV collection is one from the Trinitarian Bible Society that is packed full of cross references. But I rarely use them. Sometimes they are helpful when they refer to a passage from the old testament that is either quoted...
People are careful to preserve … themselves.
If theology is part of personal identity then it is likely that it will be carefully preserved too.
Acts 2:38 Peter answered: “Each of you must repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins may be forgiven. Then, you will...
Matthew 5:11-12 11 Blessed are you when they have slandered you, and persecuted you, and spoken all kinds of evil against you, falsely, for my sake: 12 be glad and exult, for your reward in heaven is plentiful. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
It's not so easy to know...

Hosanna in the Highest
Blessed is He, who comes in the name of the Lord

When Jesus entered Jerusalem the people said Hosanna in the highest ...
Which is better, iOS or Android?
And do you miss Windows Phone?
I thought it was really good that Windows Phones got updates for security for years after their purchase date. I think that those who still use them get security updates even now and it's been a year or more since Windows Phones...
Can we impeach Donald yet?
I mean, it's been nearly 20 months now, and he's tweeted so much rubbish and done so many mean spirited things and been such an agitator in trade, military alliances, and diplomacy.
So can we impeach him please; and I say "we" meaning Christians, and specifically...
