Prophets and Prophecy

There are a lot of people who think that prophets divine the future and make predictions. In other words, prophets can be classified between weather forecasters and astrologers. Wrong. Prophets don't predict. They read the Word of God as it happens right before them in the history of the people they... Sign in to see full entry.

Discipleship

Discipleship begins with a gaze from the Lord. And the gaze becomes a call. And that call is transformative; the call itself has a power that changes. This must have been the experience of Simon and Andrew, and James and John when they were called by the Lord. They were fishermen, but by the Lord's... Sign in to see full entry.

The Anawim

They call them the "anawim" -- "the poor and afflicted." If there was any figure in the Bible that best serves as the anti-type for those who have learned to trust in God amidst a world that is divided by hatred, racial prejudice, religious bigotry, power-grabbing, it would be these.

The Figure of John The Baptist

He comes out of the desert like the Elijah of old, fulfilling the prophecy uttered at his birth. "You shall prepare the way of the Lord."

By Their Fruits

"...by their fruits you will know them." Matthew 7:20 Matthew 7:15-20 contains a warning to the disciples about rifts from within the community of faith itself that will be caused by fellow Christians who will be as ravenous wolves dressed in sheep's clothing.

The Vindication of the Spirit

And when he comes he will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation: sin, because they do not believe in me; righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned." [John 16:8-11]... Sign in to see full entry.

Doubting Thomas and Presence In The Community of Faith

Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed." The Text of Jn 20:19-31 Why won't Thomas believe? The answer is obvious: he was absent from the community of faith the first time that the Lord appeared. It was only when he... Sign in to see full entry.
