In the face of Human.

All messed up and nowhere to go. If you are tempted you may want to head down to the local mall, there is a voice in your head that is saying if everyone is doing it, it must be right. But the question to ask is what are they doing? You jump up and down on the chairs like a spoiled rotten litle boy and you scream for our ice cream, and your mom comes running in the room with a big bowl of cherries. What are you doing. All your life you have asked the question, does the facet really run when there are no dishes in the dryer? You crave the heart of a little happiness because you feel if you just reach that point in the road there is no coming back. So...

You pack up their things and you say goodbye to them because today is a new day and you have a big agenda on your horizon tomorrow and that is to get a good night sleep, but you awaken to a drunk man siting on the foot of your bed with nowhere to go, so you send him to the local church to sober up. He sneaks in and sits where the preacher is supposed to sit and is asked to sit closer to the stage, as he feels the five beers he had last night wearing of and he comes to his home where he is asked to drink five more beers and is then sent off to the local church to sober up again.

This time he gets it right and sits where he is supposed to sit as a young girl approaches him and ask him if he would like to dance. He tells her, my face book is waiting at home and all this time I was waiting for the priest to show up and when saw them I feel at his knees because I knew that he would send me home to pray and to read my bible because tomorrow is now and the pasta I had last night wasn't enough, I have to see the pasta man face to face because when I see him I'll get a head start at setting my feet back on the ground because there is a time to sing and there is a time to dance but if I look you in the face right now I may forget who I am until the overtaker comes once again to remind me that the distance between me and everlasting joy is the difference between me and the news report that is being played in my ears right now, so..I'll forget that I own you and pretend that there is something is right between the world and I..cumbya.

Catholic Identity.

I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
