Day 304 – Judge With Right Judgement
Day 304 – Judge With Right Judgement
By David Vermont
We all know the verse, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” (Matthew 7:1). Everyone can quote it, even the atheists. Most often, it is deployed to shut down any argument over the morality of some questionable conduct. The implication of its use is that we are not to make ANY judgments. However, to quote a famous movie, “I don’t think that means what you think it means.”

The Power of a Passion Play: Bringing the Crucifixion to Life
By Mark C. McCann
“It is finished!” (John 19:30) – Three of the most wonderful words in all of Scripture. Though we read them and rejoice, I sometimes wonder if we truly grasp the awesome significance they have for us. There is high theology in those words, and yet their message is as simple as the faith of a child.

Day 303 – The Bread of Life Discourse (Part 2)
By David Vermont
Today we continue with the Bread of Life Discourse. John explicitly identifies the problem the Jews had with what Jesus was saying: The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” John 6:41-42

The World Wasn't Made in Seven Days
The World Wasn't Made in Seven Days
By JP Nunez
The very first story in the Bible says that God made the world in seven days (Genesis 1:1-2:3). It tells us that God made different things on each of the first six days, and then on the seventh, after his work as completed, he rested.

Remember that together with the Resurrection the feeding of the 5,000 is the only miracle that is recounted in all four Gospels. John adds an important detail: Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. John 6:4

Remembering My "Father in Christ Jesus"
Remembering My "Father in Christ Jesus"
By Robert Atkinson, M.I.
As we lay William Franklin Graham Jr. to rest, my heart is overcome with fragrance of memories. This may seem strange to many of my readers, this being a Catholic site, but the fact is that conversion is a process, sometimes a life long process. That’s where my memories begin, at the beginning, as Saint Paul says in 1 Corinthians 4:15, (NABRE)

Day 300 – How Do You "Come To" the Lord?
Day 300 – How Do You "Come To" the Lord?
By David Vermont
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. John 5:39-40 It’s clear that in this verse Jesus is referring to the Old Testament scriptures. It’s a verse that’s a real problem for Protestant proponents of Sola Scriptura.

Day 299 – The Relationship of Jesus to the Father
By David Vermont
In today’s reading, it seems like Jesus is stating two conflicting things. First, he states: But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” John 5:17 The Jews are outraged because they see this as Jesus making himself equal to the Father.

Day 297 – The Woman at the Well
By David Vermont
This is fast becoming one of my favorite episodes of Scripture. It starts out with this little interesting tidbit: ... he left Judea and departed again to Galilee. He had to pass through Samaria. John 4:3-4 The fact is that the route for Judea to Galilee did not go through Samaria.
