Sun of All Saints 2009. Audio Homily. I want you to be ready.
In order to be a saint – “Holy” – we are commanded to become holy – we must have desire and effort, and God will help us. If we do not have this desire and effort, God will not help us, and He will have no part with us.
We must, as the Lord says. “Confess” Him. He says something great and terrible: Whosoever will confess me before me.
One must understand what it means to confess. To confess in the Lord is is to live as He taught us, to have the priorities He taught us to have. Confession involved living the tight way. You cannot confession the Lord and steal, or be an adulterer. We must confess with the lips also – stand for what is right as Christians. We live in an age where good is called bad, and bad good. Abominations are deemed healthy, and to even believe that abominations are bad is labeled as bigoted, or even mental illness.
Let’s not talks about politics, or parties, or particular people – let’s talk about the age we are in, and what we must do – who we must be – in order to confess Christ in this age.
Sunday of All Saints. Homily.

Pentecost “Out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water” Why the belly?
?He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water?.
So our Lord said on a feast of Pentecost — before the feast of Pentecost that we celebrate, during His earthly ministry when He promised the Spirit; because the living water is the Spirit, and concerning it we hear this wonderful image: “Out of his belly shall flow forth rivers of living water.”
Now what is the belly for, what does the belly signify? …
Pentecost. Only those who thirst will drink the living water.
(From a sermon given on Pentecost 2001.. Next Sunday is Pentecost) In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today we celebrate the bringing of the Holy Spirit, Pentecost, the fulfillment of the Resurrection in the heart of man. Christ prophesied it Himself, and the fulfillment… Continue reading Pentecost.
