Spreading the Gospel by being saints
There was to be nothing special about it, nothing that savored of a religious Order, no special rule, no distinctive habit.

The Faith of George Washington
. . . we now have a remarkable ability to uncover what earlier scholars were unable to access. And when we let Washington’s own words and deeds speak for his faith we get quite a different perspective than that of most recent modern historians. Washington referred to himself frequently using the words “ardent,” “fervent,” “pious,”… Read More ›
God’s goodness is a gift
[Luke 18:9-14] is a parable with two characters in it. Like last Sunday, Jesus sets up a comparison in the parable between the two characters. Let’s have a peek at the two men. Luke tells us that one was a Pharisee; the other was a tax collector. Thanks in some measure to the gospel writers,… Read More ›
