The mission of Tom Peterson and Catholics Come Home to bring souls home to Jesus and the church is critically important during this challenging time in our history. I fully support this New Evangelization project.
You can't grow strong without resistance.
Those that innovate the future understand history the best.
Then Jesus changed the situation. When he paid for our sins on the cross, the veil in the temple that symbolized our separation from God was split from top to bottom, indicating that direct access to God was once again available.
The only way to always be relevant is to focus on what's eternal. Everything in style will soon be out of style.
I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.
It's easy to explain away evil. We have a free choice, and our greatest blessing is also our greatest curse, because I don't always make good choices. Other people make bad choices. I make bad choices. And sometimes we hurt other people. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.
So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.
The Bible says that evil cannot be negotiated with. It has to just be stopped.
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you're not.
Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God's face.
Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
There is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.
