Called to Share the Story
There are a ton of books out there talking about how to share the story of our faith. A common word is “witness.” Scholars, preachers, and speakers, all talk about this subject. A lot of thinkers say that the decline of our Churches resides in the inability of our Church people to witness their faith. […]
Called to Care
Part of our calling as people born of water and the Spirit is to care for others! That’s in addition to being God’s servants, and Christian leaders. Review my previous reflections: You’re baptized, then you are God’s servant. You are called to lead. Before delving into today’s reflection, read the following words from our Lord, […]
Easter: The Revelation of Who God Is
Easter is the revelation of Who God is! The disciples, based on all four Gospels in the New Testament, would see Jesus as God only after the resurrection. Throughout the three years, they had spent with Him before His crucifixion, they referred to Him primarily as Rabbi (Teacher). It was after His resurrection, Thomas would […]
We Are God’s Witnesses
In this article, we look at the third implication of what it means to be a member of God’s big family. Previously, we talked about two levels of significance that come with why God, the Father, had to let His Son, Jesus Christ, die for us: We are members of Christ’s Body. We are a […]
We Are Royal Priesthood
Lent reminds us that we are a Royal Priesthood. It is the second way we show to the world that we are members of God’s big family. In our last reflection, we looked at the fact that being members of God’s family, we are also members of the Body of Christ. And, being members of […]
We Are the Body of Christ
This reflection builds upon our previous article, “we are God’s family.” You may need to review it in case you missed it. As we go through Lent this year, let’s remember that God’s only intention, by sending His only begotten Son, still is to draw us back to Himself. What we talk about in this […]
Personal Transformation: The Soul
As we’ve studied before, personal transformation affects four levels: mind, heart, soul, and body. So far, we have discussed the mind and the heart. You may need to review those two reflections to make a better sense of what we study in the following lines: the soul. Our biblical foundation comes from two scriptures: […]
Personal Transformation: The Heart
Personal transformation affects four levels of who we are: mind, heart, soul, and body. So far, we’ve talked about the mind. In this reflection, we’ll discuss the second level, drawing on what the Bible says about it. The Mind is an open field The mind is our inner first way […]
Our Ultimate Goal as a Church
What’s your only goal as a Church? The obvious answer, most of us will give could be “to make disciples of Jesus Christ.” Sometimes, I feel like we show it more on paper, but not in real life. You may probably disagree with me on that. But, let me ask you: “how many disciples […]
Let’s Do It Together
This reflection comes out of Matthew 18:19-20, Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. Two short verses but […]
