Monday, November 9th, 2020
As I read the Golden Text (II Cor. 5: 17), I was struck by the assurance that for anyone “joined to Christ”, the “new” has come. That’s now — not in the future!

Monday, September 28th, 2020
It is undoubtedly true that things look like a mixture of good and evil, health and sickness, life and death.

Monday, August 17th, 2020
Having the “mind of Christ” is often interpreted as having Christ’s humility.

Monday, July 6th, 2020
Sacrament is often described as “a visible sign of an inward grace.” I define “grace” as feeling love and approval from the divine Parent even when we don’t necessarily think we deserve it.

To human sense, the earthy seems to be what we are, and the heavenly is what we hope to become. Traditional theology sees it that way.
