Knowing God
Knowing God
He loved me first. That’s a remarkable statement considering I’m a sinner. God loved me first. He chose me first before I even knew Him. I know this to be true because my soul affirms it and scripture attests to it: “We love because he first loved us,” (1 John 4:19). I was known by God before I knew about Him. He chose me as His child to love and to care for.

God is Faithful
God is Faithful
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Sharing Our Faith
Sharing Our Faith
Ever get together with other Christian siblings that you haven’t seen in a while and when you come together it’s like your faith is completely renewed simply by being in their company? I swear, it’s true! This past holiday, I spend the weekend with fellow college students from several years back. We went to seminary together and eventually became good friends.

On Justification
On Justification
Justification is important to me, because I know with great certainty that I did not earn my salvation but it was given to me strictly by grace. As a result, I was moved to research justification by grace. These are my findings:

The Sacred Heart of Christ
The Sacred Heart of Christ
Did you know we’re celebrating the sacred heart of Christ? I sure didn’t! I ran across a wonderful article that moved me to do a little research to become acquainted with the nine month celebration.

On Fear
On Fear
Fear is evil. It paralyses us and renders us ineffective. Generally defined, fear is an apprehension of something or someone. In Christian terms, fear is a distrust of God with what’s going on in our lives. For example, if something out of the ordinary is happening we may fear it because we did not welcome it - but that is exactly where trust in God is truly tested.

On Grace
On Grace
“Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and underserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and eternal life,” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1996).I think of grace as a place. It’s that place where in spite of me I am accepted exactly as I am.

On Praying to the Saints
On Praying to the Saints
I pray to the saints for divine intercession. I’ve had miraculous results praying to the saints. I’ve heard criticism from being idolatrous to being unChristian for doing so. Scripture indeed declares that we are to honor God as our single source of adoration; however, praying to the saints doesn’t negate this commandment.

Don't Be a Clanging Cymbal
Don't Be a Clanging Cymbal
Walk the talk. Wishing someone well and offering them prayer is not enough. obviously, well wishing is preferred over having ill will toward someone, but it’s still not enough. Scripture says that faith without works is dead: “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

Don't Judge
Don't Judge
We don't talk about suicide, we whisper about it. Suicide is the ultimate of sins committed against God. While no doubt taking our life which is not our own to begin with is an affront towards God, it is the process that leads to suicide that is not sinful.

50 Shades of Messed Up
50 Shades of Messed Up
The leading actor even says it himself, “I’m messed up” (with much more colorful language.) This movie is dangerous on several levels. It tells its story with a Cinderella undertone that the behaviors portrayed are desirable and sexy. The leading actress is a “commoner” who is swept away by the allure of a billionaire’s attention.

On Fellowship
On Fellowship
One of the greatest resources we have as Christians is fellowship with one another. Whether it's prayer, company, or a visit - we are filled with joy to be in each other's company. It really does make a difference when we fellowship directly with one another because God promises to be there: “For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them" (Matthew 18:20).
