Doing God's work
Doing God's work
By Catherine Garrett
It's a very lofty goal to accomplish all in this life God has in mind for us. I can't even make a list of all the things God wants for us here on earth. There are too many places to start and too many paths to cover! But how do we know when we're doing what God has in mind for us? God's mind is so vastly different from our own and we all know,

Gone Fishing
Gone Fishing
By John C Prejean Sr.
One of my favorite things to do that I don’t get to do much at all anymore is fishing. There is just something about being out at a lake, pond or river and casting my line out and waiting to see what happens. The anticipation of watching my line or bobber and waiting for that right moment to set the hook and reel it in.

Creators never follow
Creators never follow
By Tony Jesse
There is an overall idea in today’s modern culture that in order to define yourself you need to break away from standard restrictions, and be “free.” Once you break free from limitations and borders, you will begin to really know who you are. We can see a small example of this idea played out in a recent Adidas commercial with James Harden.

First Beginnings
First Beginnings
By David Torkington
My first recollections of prayer were of kneeling at my bedside repeating the same set of petitions night after night. God bless Mummy and Daddy, my brothers, and all my aunts and uncles who were mentioned by name. It was only after my cousins were prayed for in order of age that my turn came.

The Justification of Abraham
By De Maria
I want to walk you through Abraham’s justification in order to illustrate the difference between the Catholic Doctrine of justification by faith and works through the Sacraments and the Protestant doctrine of a one time proclamation of faith.

That's Mine - I Licked It
That's Mine - I Licked It
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
If you come from a large family, or have untrustworthy friends when it comes to the security of your food, you may at some point, have licked your food before walking away from it—you know, to make sure that no one would take it. If you haven’t done that, you’ve probably at least once in your life, used a sharpie to mark your plastic cup at a party,

Why Do Some People Hate God? Because God Has Rules.
Why Do Some People Hate God? Because God Has Rules.
By Larry Peterson
How did this principle of ethics and morality based on the Ten Commandments and Natural Law somehow become a pariah to so many? Why would anyone want to remove the words, "under God", from the Pledge of Allegiance or the name of God from our coins or government buildings? What has happened in America?

In the Bible, what is the difference between a Hebrew, an Israelite and a Jew?
By De Maria
As you know, I like to trace words through their etymologies. And these three words were a bit confusing to me. Most of the time, people use them interchangeably. And, I suppose, they have evolved in a way that they are interchangeable, depending on the context.

To Thine Own Selfishness Be True
To Thine Own Selfishness Be True
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
There’s nothing better than that moment when your kid learns about free will in Religion Class. Now, I’ve been teaching my kids their whole lives about it, but there’s something about them hearing it in school that makes it click in a different way. For weeks, everything I say has been, and will be, “I don’t have to do anything…I have free will.”
