Send us a text What Do We Need to Remember? What Do We Need to Learn? “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit…will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you.” - from John 14:26 The Holy Spirit teaches us. The Holy Spirit reminds us. What do we need to remember? What do we need to learn?

2025/05/25

Send us a text Seeing with the Eyes of Our Hearts “so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may perceive what is the hope to which he has called you” - from Ephesians 1:18 In contemporary times we see the heart and the mind as opposites. Our minds tell us one thing. Our hearts tell us something else. We engage in a type of dualistic or dichotomous thinking. It was less so in the ancient world. The concepts of the heart and mind were more unified. There are even ...

Send us a text Life’s Not a Competition “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am making my way someone else steps down ahead of me." - John 5:7 This story is as much about how wrong assumptions and negative comparisons keep as stuck as it is about a supernatural healing. The man assumed that he had to be first into the waters when the angel stirred them in order to be healed. The oldest versions of this manuscript were ...

Send us a text Every Day Sacred, Everywhere Holy “I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.”- Revelation 21:22 We build or churches, and temples, and mosques… We set aside certain days and times… We keep our customs and traditions and perform our rituals in order to help us experience the sacred, in order to help us experience divine transcendent presence.

The Holy Spirit: The Voice that Speaks for Us

2025/05/21

Send us a text The Holy Spirit: A Voice Who Speaks For Us “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you.” John 14:26 We often have to distinguish and discern between two different sets of thoughts, two different sets of voices running through our minds. Once voice edifies, informs and inspires. The other mocks, ridicules and discourages. Revelation 12:10 describes Satan as the...

Send us a text Some Things We Just Have to Carry… “Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." - John 5:8 The story of Jesus healing the paralytic is a little different from the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, found later in this same Gospel. Lazarus, when he came out of the grave was able to remove his burial clothes and in a sense get a completely fresh start. The former paralytic was given the strength to carry his mat. Some of us have done things or ...

Send us a text What Do We Really Want? “When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" - John 5:6 On the surface, Jesus’s question to the man who had been ill for 38 years is shocking. 38 years of hardship, 38 years of struggle, 38 years of disappointment, who wouldn’t want those to come to an end?

Send us a text The Revolution of Revelation “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb!" - from Revelation 7:10 Revelation is a complex book that is subject to a multitude of interpretations. At its heart, its core message declares that God is on the throne not Caesar. That message makes it both subversive and revolutionary. That’s why so many early Christians were executed by Rome. Rome claimed that it had brought peace to the world and that i...
