What does it mean to be a Temple of God? Do you know the real wonderful blessing that is yours because God has chosen you to be His dwelling place?
Too often we live lives that are full of the wrong things because we seek the pleasures of the world and forget the God who made everything. He seeks our love, our cooperation. And, if we will give Him our love and cooperation our lives will be much more than we can imagine.

Sanctified Righteous

One of the more confusing parts of our redemption is how we are made righteous by Christ. Many want to call Christians a bunch of hypocrites, but such a charge misses the fact that we are sinners saved by grace.

Being a New Creation
Wednesday Feb 06, 2019
Wednesday Feb 06, 2019
At the heart of the gospel proclamation is the message that we are new creatures. There is a new birth of our souls that is the seed of redemption for our complete human nature. If we can grasp this it will cause us to see how we relate to each other in a communion of fellowship with God.

Redeemed Body and Soul

Tuesday Feb 05, 2019
Too often people limit the grace of God to only a spiritual redemption. They end up seeing their struggle with temptation as a fight they cannot win because their nature is corrupted and they are too weak to overcome sinful desires. Or they only see ailments in their bodies as a hindrance that they will never overcome. But, redemption is something that has been acquired for our entire being, body and soul. This was the message found behind the Theology of the Body message of St. John Paul II. And if we will understand this, we too can become saints and overcomers in the world through the redemption we inherit as part of the communion of saints.

Integrity of the Word

What makes faith more definite than a firm adherence to the truths that God has revealed? If we truly do not add to, nor take away from the message of the gospel we will have the word that God spoke for us to live by.

Blessed By Love

Jesus did not have honor in his home town. There they knew of his history. They knew him as a little boy that did no miraculous deeds. And, when he came home as a celebrity they wanted him to amaze them. But, when he told them that they would not see the miraculous because of how they perceived him, they got mad. They wanted to kill him. They acted in a very unloving manner.
But, God calls us to love. To be merciful. And this is the lesson for today.

Light of the World

Saturday Feb 02, 2019
Today is the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, otherwise known as "Candlemas." This day recalls the presentation of Christ in the Temple according to the Old Testament Laws. It is a day that reminds us of the good works that we are to be doing, not as a means of earning salvation, but rather as a way to reveal or present Christ to others.

True Prosperity
Friday Feb 01, 2019
Friday Feb 01, 2019
In recent decades there has been a great confusion over whether or not one can have mansions and money and things and be a righteous person. This is due in part to a war that has been ongoing between those of the prosperity gospel message and those who see poverty as a sign of humility.
But, the answer to which of these perspectives is truly proper is something that the catechism informs us is based on our detactment from the things of this world and our stewardship of them before God. Because in Christianity our relationship with God is paramount. We must love the Lord our God above all things and not have a love of money or some other gain.
