Are You Sure You’re Alive?
Posted on March 22, 2018 Leave a Comment
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking of the contrast between life and death- not the funeral kind of death but the dead- man- walking- kind of dead- very much alive but on a path leading to death. All of humanity enters into the world in a spiritually dead state. We are […]
Seeking Good in the Aftermath of Destruction

Wide-scale destruction. Over the course of a week our eyes behold images of the ravaging path of hurricanes, flooding, fires, terrorists… We see so much suffering in our land and in our world.

Take heart! Nothing is hidden! Let us give Almighty God praise for His omniscience! We do not fear that evil will overpower, for that which seems to elude justice in our world will indeed have a day of reckoning. And the same is true for our hearts! Today is the day of salvation, so we […]
