Astronomical

When I look at the sky, which you have made, at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places -­ what are human beings, that you think of them; mere mortals, that you care for them? Yet you made them inferior only to yourself; you crowned them with glory and honour. (verses… Read more

Everything in the name of Jesus

Christ’s message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts. Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him… Read more

Majesty

Praise him, kings and all peoples, princes and all other rulers; young women and young men, old people and children too. Let them all praise the name of the LORD! His name is greater than all others; his glory is above earth and heaven. (verses 11-13) Read Psalm 148 The other morning I watched the… Read more

God’s desire for you

Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father. Everything that belongs to the world – what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of – none of this… Read more

Jesus prays for you

I am writing this to you, my children, so that you will not sin; but if anyone does sin, we have someone who pleads with the Father on our behalf – Jesus Christ, the righteous one. And Christ himself is the means by which our sins are forgiven, and not our sins only, but also… Read more

The light

Now the message that we have heard from his Son and announce is this: God is light, and there is no darkness at all in him. If, then, we say that we have fellowship with him, yet at the same time live in the darkness, we are lying both in our words and in our… Read more

One of us

The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father’s only Son. (verse 14) Read Luke 2:1-20 In Calcutta Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity committed themselves to serve ‘the poorest of the poor’. There was nothing… Read more

Good news

There were some shepherds in that part of the country who were spending the night out in the open, taking care of their flocks. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone over them. They were terribly afraid, but the angel said to them, ‘Don’t be afraid! I… Read more

The perfect sacrifice

First he said, ‘You neither want nor are you pleased with sacrifices and offerings or with animals burnt on the altar and the sacrifices to take away sins.’ He said this even though all these sacrifices are offered according to the Law. Then he said, Here I am, 0 God, to do your will.’ So God does… Read more

Showing strength in showing mercy

Listen to us, 0 Shepherd of Israel; hear us, leader of your flock. Seated on your throne above the winged creatures, reveal yourself to the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your strength; come and save us! Bring us back, O God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!   (verses 1-3)… Read more
