Fire on the Mountain

Are we called to represent Jesus to people or do we re-present Jesus to people? Be an ambassador of the government of heaven!

Jesus gives us the power to not only live an interior life in union with him but commissions us to do the impossible: to make this earth look like heaven. He authorizes us to act on his behalf.

Jesus commissions us to make this earth look more like heaven when he told us to pray "your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Does your life look like the heaven we believe in?

Do not miss the opportunity for the Gospel to spread again like wildfire

Why are you a Christian? What difference has Jesus made in your life? We have so many opportunities that we miss to share why Jesus is Lord and how he has transformed our life.

Good News demands a response. How do we respond to what Jesus has done and live our life worthy of his sacrifice?

"Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize"(Pope Paul VI)

Because of the Resurrection of Jesus, we are no longer victims to our sinful habits and practices. He gives us the power to overcome sin by the gift of the Holy Spirit

When you pray what is your mindset on the effectiveness of your petition to God? Are you sitting on earth lifting up your prayers to heaven? Or are you seated with Christ in heaven already in victory with your prayers directed towards earth?

Jesus risen from the dead is not absent from us. He is closer than ever. The eyewitness accounts of His Risen Body help us to see how his presence is real with us now.

"The younger son was so famished he fed himself on the food of the pigs eat because no one gave him any food" Your testimony can become someone's daily bread to stir up hunger for deeper things.

"Behold, I have given you the power ‘to tread upon serpents’ and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you." (Luke 10:19) God gave humanity authority over the earth. We gave it away. Jesus gives it back. We are not meant to be chicken Christians, we were made to soar.

At the Beginning of Lent, make the exchange give God your brokenness, shame, fear and he will give you Himself.

When we love others and see them according to how God sees we see them in reality. When we live in reality, we give room for the kingdom of God to break through to transform. When we are at our worst, God honors us by giving us his best.

It is the kindness of God that leads to repentance. Peter encounters the kindness of God and it brings him to conversion. Peter thinks he is unfit to evangelize because he is poor and weak. Jesus reminds him and us our poverty and weakness is what will make us effective evangelists.

Jesus gives his inaugural address in his hometown of Nazareth, describing what he has come to do: set captives free and release prisoners. What does this mean for the Christian life? Listen in to find out!

Jesus can take our worst and transform them into the best vintage because when we were at our worst he gave us his best.

Jesus came to share fully in our human family to draw us into the Father's family. Can we learn to honor each other as the Father honors us? Homily from St Matthew Church in Franklin TN

An amazing miracle of God's healing power and what miracles teach us about the character of God and why we can place our hope in him

God blesses us with an eternal inheritance in Christ giving us access to all the resources of heaven when we ask so that we can bring the blessings on earth as it is in heaven.

Homily during the Octave of Christmas at St Matthew Church in Franklin TN

Jesus proclaimed the truth of the kingdom he demonstrated through powerful deeds that helped people realize the truth was real. St Paul understood this in his strategy of evangelization, but do we?

A testimony on spiritual warfare and the power of faith. When we are in communion with Jesus there is nothing to fear. Check out Dr. Sean Tobin's upcoming book Big God Little Devil

Reflection on Philippians 4:4-8 on this Gaudete Sunday

May we become more aware of the presence and ministry of angels in our lives.
