Day 36 –the Parable of the Servants in the Vineyard
Day 36 –the Parable of the Servants in the Vineyard
By David Vermont
This is always one of the hardest parables for me. Jesus tells the parable of the workers hired to work in a vineyard. Some are hired early in the morning, others at noon; some others with only three hours left and some are even hired in the last hour of the day. Yet those who work only 1 hour get paid the same wages as those who worked all day.

Think You Can't Be Used By God? Think Again
Think You Can't Be Used By God? Think Again
By Katie Zalany
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the early apostles. They all were regular, average, and imperfect people commissioned to bring the good news. They were a lot like you and I. They had day jobs, families, and one day, Jesus threw a wrench in their plans and asked them to follow Him and make disciples of all nations. They accepted the tall order.

Day 35 – A Word on Works
Day 35 – A Word on Works
By David Vermont
Today we see Jesus asked directly, “What GOOD DEED must I DO, to have eternal life?” Jesus does NOT answer, “Don’t worry, you are saved by faith alone.” Jesus says you must keep the commandments and when you have done that you must do more. Thus, Jesus identifies salvation as a process. A process of perfecting yourself over the course of your life.

Ignorance Is Not Bliss
Ignorance Is Not Bliss
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
A priggish little old lady inquiring about a European tour was told by the travel agent that one particular tour included the famous Oberammergau Passion Play. Misconstruing the word "passion" she indignantly exclaimed, "I'm tired of all this sex stuff; and now it's even featured as a travel highlight! Shame on you!" With that, she stormed out of the office.

Hot Spot Where Fleas Freeze
Hot Spot Where Fleas Freeze
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
If you're hankering for an unusual vacation, visit Mount Raupehu, the loftiest rise on New Zealand's North Island. This nine thousand-foot mountain is a semi-active volcano with a sixty-acre crater lake nestled in its peak - a steaming lake of hot water surrounded by walls of solid ice and snow! Too hot to swim in, the lake is used by tourists for boating amid surrounding snow peaks.

Let us pray....

This is how Mrs. Melania Trump started her prayer on February 18, 2017, in Melbourne, Florida. No one noticed. On January 22, 2005, Ms. Melania Knauss was married to Mr. Donald Trump. As she walked up the aisle, a soprano sang, Ave Maria. And she wore on her person, her grandmother's rosary.

Have You Written Your Obituary?
Have You Written Your Obituary?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Instead of paying a fine for your next traffic violation, how would you like to write your own obituary? Or would you prefer to interview an undertaker, or perhaps view the bodies of traffic victims in the local morgue? An alternative might be to spend a few hours in a hospital emergency room, viewing injured patients.

Wait and See---Good Things Will Come to You---Wait and See
Wait and See---Good Things Will Come to You---Wait and See
By Elizabeth Thomas
In all the stories told in the Bible, I do not recount one where there were instant arrivals at the Promised Lands. You know, the places where the people of faith went from point A to point B in just a matter of days. One exception maybe—the Resurrection of Christ, but even that event was preceded by 33 years of Jesus walking that human life trusting in the Father’s plan.
