    • When Christ Who Is Our Life Shall Appear Then Shall Ye Also Appear With Him In Glory
      Colossians 3-4-11, Luke 18-18-27, Matthew 25-1-13
      2013-01-27
      SYNOPSIS:"When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.". So starts the reading for the Sunday of the Holy Fathers (before Nativity), which I mistakenly preached on today. I am happy I made the mistake because the epistle integrated nicely with both of the Gospels, that of the rules who wanted to know what he should do to be saved, and the 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins. There are general reasons why so many of us lead mediocre and unhappy, not very spiritual lives. These scriptures address all of them. Here is the reason to struggle against sin! There is a lot here, and it is all important.

    • Rich Young Ruler
      Questions Not To Ask
      Luke 18-18-27
      2013-12-15
      SYNOPSIS:There are questions we should never ask and things we should never say that are in the Scriptures - as an example to us, to teach us that we should know better. One of these questions is asked today by the Rich Young Ruler: "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?". The response of Jesus makes it clear this is a bad question. why is this a bad question and what should we know and how should we live so that we do not ask this (often asked) question?

    • Lackest Thou One Thing Sell All That Thou Hast
      Luke 18-18-27
      2016
      SYNOPSIS:Exegesis of the encounter of Jesus with the rich young Ruler. Implications of calling Jesus good. Fulfilling the commandments is NOT the purpose of life. Knowing what we lack, and selling all to be healed.
