Four Ways to Stymie Grace
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
In 1 Thessalonians 5:19 St. Paul reminds us, “Do not quench the Spirit.” Jesus does not want his spirit to be quenched but to spread: “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing” (Lk 12:49). Jesus wants this spiritual energy – this fire of love – to be activated and enkindled in us.

Dreading the Confessional
By Tess Shore
During my normal day of operations, someone left on my desk a piece of paper. On the paper, it stated, “NEWS FLASH: Confession is not when God found out about it; it's when YOU got RID of it!” It is a few weeks into Lent. My heart sank a little bit about the words on the paper.

Billy Graham: Servant of God
By Bill Dunn
When the Rev. Billy Graham died, my first thought was, “Now, there was a guy who devoted his whole life to preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ.” Well, to be honest, my actual first thought was, “Billy Graham was still alive? Huh, I thought he died a long time ago.”

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

By David Torkington
I said in the first part of the lecture to launch my book, that the famous moral philosopher Professor Joad insisted that the teaching of the Gospels was absolutely impossible.
