Accepting the Invitations of Life
When we choose to refuse a personal invitation of God, there are consequences.
Using Bad Consequences
All of us have said words and made choices we regret. But we can use them to move to a better place.
The First and the Last
The parable of the workers in the vineyard tells us something about a national policy on immigration.
Windstorms and Violins
Life is difficult! The hope that comes from the Gospel is this: that which is difficult can also be good.
The Day Jesus Was Wrong
In his humanity with its limitations, Jesus makes the wrong decision in dealing with the Canaanite woman.
Why Walk on Water?
It is frightening to cling to a little boat in the midst of the storm. But isn’t stepping out of that boat onto the waves complete madness?
Bridges
“Bridges” discusses the importance of repairing all that is broken in our world. Christians are called to cooperate with all people of good will to build a better society.
Living with Little Faith
Matthew’s famous teaching on the lilies of the field contains the first occurrence of a phrase he uses to describe the Christian Life. It is a life of “little faith.”
Air
This is a new video on the Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit moves in us and through us–as close to us as the air we take in and breathe out.
Searching for Pearls
The scandal of Jesus’ parable of the pearl of great price is that God is the merchant, and God is searching for us.
The Non-Violent Farmer
To absorb the attack, to deflect the insult is not a sign of weakness. It is the way of Christ.
What God Is Not
God is not anything which keeps you from God. Any image of God which alienates us from God is wrong.
