Some Objections to Baptism Part 1

Those who oppose the place which the Bible gives to Baptism in the plan of salvation offer several fairly standard objections which they believe in their hearts mitigates against that position. Most often, they will take a Scripture verse or two out of its context and offer that as proof that the re... (www.catholic365.com)

Which Side of the Fence are You on, and Whose Fence is it Anyway?

I have children. If one pushes the other, I help the one who’s hurt. As a parent I’ll reprimand the child who pushed, but I shouldn’t push back as if to prove a point. My primary concern is to help the child who got hurt to get back up.... (www.catholic365.com)

Families...Sometimes Plates Can Fly!

The Bloodmobile returned recently to our parish, and I took my usual turn in a long list of donors. When the technician apologized for the bruise, I told her that I would wear it as a badge of honor. After all, I would not be here if it were not for other donors, long ago in South America.... (www.catholic365.com)

First World Problems

I love Monday night class with my Bible Study Group, not just for the friendship, but for the application of the Bible readings to our lives. Last Monday, while discussing John Chapter 6, somehow, the topic turned to first world problems and how we complain. We complain about having to buy lunch. We... (www.catholic365.com)

A lie may take care of the present, but it has no future.

Standing before Pilate in the Pretorium, the very heart of political power, Jesus bears witness to the truth that real power is not the ability to coerce others, but the strength to love; that true control is about self-sacrifice; that real life is found only through death itself. In doing so Jesus ... (www.catholic365.com)

Review of Stephen Ray's CD, Finding the Fullness of Faith

I travel about 15 days out of a month and that gives me a lot of time to myself, in the privacy of my car. And, I learned, early on, to make every trip a sort of, retreat. I immerse myself in audio prayers, audio Bible readings or Theological, usually apologetical, lessons. This week, I listened ... (www.catholic365.com)

The Lizard and the Light

When I first spotted the gecko resting on top of the backyard spotlight, the creature was only an inch or so long. I wondered why it stayed there instead of moving to the grass where it would more likely find food. So, with as much compassion as anyone can feel toward a lizard, I tried to capture th...

Sabbath: Should we worship on Saturday or Sunday?

While talking about the day we worship God is important to keep something in mind. The Jews desired to make Saturday the Sabbath as it was the day God rested according to Genesis. The word Sabbath is from the Hebrew word SHABÀT, meaning ‘cessation,’ or ‘time of rest.’ The day chosen for the Sabbath... (www.catholic365.com)

5 good minutes with God - Scavenger Hunt

Recently, I was reminded of my youth and the major holidays we celebrated - and by ‘major’ I clearly mean the one’s when we got the big gifts! On Christmas and Easter mornings my sisters and I would jump out of bed and run to the living room to find - not gifts - but rather a scavenger hunt that ou... (www.catholic365.com)

The Right Question

I spend my life answering questions. Always have. People come to me for answers, right, wrong or indifferent, every day in my line of work. One of the first things I have learned is that answering the right question—which is not necessarily the one asked--is critical. Our Lord was a master of that, ... (www.catholic365.com)

Trust and Faith- Aren't They The Same Thing?

Can we have trust in a person, event or object without faith? These two concepts are most commonly used in the religious context when we are speaking, thinking and writing about them; almost always we do so with a great attention to the ‘mystery’ of trust or the ‘blindness’ of faith....

The Grace To Forgive

We are called to be a people of forgiveness. We are called to follow Christ. But what about when it hurts? What do we do when the pain is so deep that the thought of forgiveness can’t even be entertained? We pray. We pray for the grace to be willing. We pray whether we feel like it or not, and we ke...

The first step to becoming is to will it

Jesus utters the call to Matthew in its simplest form. It is simple to say, but not easy to do, especially considering that Jesus leads Matthew and the other disciples to the foot of the cross after that call. And yet, Matthew shows us all what it takes to start: he got up. He answered. He didn’t kn... (www.catholic365.com)
