Hope does not put us to shame

Hope does not put us to shame

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that […]

Ambassadors for Christ

Ambassadors for Christ

All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

Every thought captive

Every thought captive

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

How Long, O Lord?

Why God?

Why God?

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,and by night, but I find no rest. Yet you are holy,enthroned on the praises of Israel.In you our fathers trusted;they trusted, and […]

The Church is not a monolith

For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I […]
