“We do not live in the twilight of human evolution. On the contrary, this is the sunrise, the true start of human experience, as different from anything that has gone before….Before us lie millenniums of never-ending unfoldment.”

— Patriarch Herman Adrian Spruit, One Giant Leap Forward, 1969.

Us – Them is not loving!

2021-09-06T20:58:55+00:00September 6, 2021|

  In James 2:1-5, we see how similar we are to the ancient people! Seems like they discriminated against people, just as happens now. They, too, looked at outward appearances to create an Us-Them situation. They favored the rich, and the same occurs today, along with [...]

Live in Love

2021-08-09T01:42:22+00:00August 9, 2021|

  Many Scripture readings tell us how we are to live, as does today's reading: Ephesians 4:25-5:2.   We are to be kind. We are to forgive.  We are to live in Love.   So may it be.

Do We Grumble?

2021-08-01T23:14:20+00:00August 1, 2021|

  In Exodus 16:2-4, 12-15, we read about the grumbling of the Israelites. They have escaped their lives as slaves in Egypt and are now wandering in the desert. They are hungry, so now those days in Egypt look pretty good – they had food there, [...]

We are Called

2021-07-25T03:03:32+00:00July 25, 2021|

  In Ephesians 4:1-6, we read how Paul wanted his people to live. He used the words humility, gentleness, patience, love and unity. He also used the word call. We’re all called to something. We have received skills, talents, and other gifts to share with others [...]

On the Sacraments

2021-07-20T02:51:46+00:00July 20, 2021|

Having freely received the Sacraments from Jesus, the Christ, the Church is morally bound to give them freely to the world to anyone who asks ….  Any organization that shuts members or would be members out because they decline to enter a restricted theological cage is [...]

The 23rd Psalm

2021-07-18T21:50:22+00:00July 18, 2021|

  Many Christian adults look back to their childhood and remember memorizing the 23rd Psalm. “The Lord is my shepherd….” Surprisingly, many of us learned that psalm before the Greatest Commandment. How different the playground may have been had we learned that loving God and our [...]

The Invitiation

2021-07-11T19:20:22+00:00July 11, 2021|

  In Mark 6:7-13, we read of Jesus sending out his followers. Like them, we too, are to go out to offer our stories and to share our faith. We are to offer an invitation to others. Some of us will use words. Others will use [...]

That Which We Will Become

2021-07-02T02:20:05+00:00July 2, 2021|

“Jesus Christ knew when He made contact with the Father, He was connected with physical energy and became its transmitter. With whatever we identify our minds, that we become … We can identify ourselves with eternal life at the source and in so doing, become filled [...]
