Forgiveness
Are you struggling to find joy, or living in pain or grief? Do you find yourself still feeling detached from the life you wish you had, even though you have called on Christ for help? If so, you are not alone, as many struggle to find the inner peace they are searching for, not recognizing…

Faith to live by
Faith is the founding principle we are to live by throughout every experience we walk through, as children of God and followers of his Son, Jesus Christ. “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “‘The righteous shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17, ESV, 2001, Crossway).…

A Father’s Love
As children we long for the affection, care, encouragement, love and protection that a father provides. We long for connection and quality time spent together that allows for deep bonding and the opportunity to grow into the person that emulates those quality traits we hold so dear in the father we desire to see.

Reclaiming Joy
Scripture says, “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways” (1 Corinthians 13:11, ESV, 2001, Crossway). Unfortunately, along with giving up childish ways we often leave behind the joy we once had, not…

Faith to make you well
The faith to make you well that we will be discussing here is not the depictions you may have seen from a televangelist performing sensationalized healings while bringing attention to him or herself; nor from praying the Rosary, or to Mary, or any of the Saints, in whom all lack the power and authority behind…

Seed, Soil and Weeds
As we set the stage for our discussion, we must each wrestle with a question about the afterlife that most will dodge or flippantly answer with a nonsensical response, rather than taking necessary time to ponder and work out for themselves the mystery of what comes next after this life we are living. We hope…

Following Jesus
If we examine the choices we make each day then a pattern will become apparent in where our time, energy, devotion, attention, and loyalty is directed and where it is not. The purpose behind this discussion points to the foundation in which our lives are built and supported, and where we invest our resources mentioned…
