The carnal man wants to appear educated The spiritual man aims to be virtuous Lord, make me a man of virtue
Rage-baiting isn’t evangelism Attempting to belittle others isn’t evangelism Perpetual victimhood isn’t evangelism Spewing racial superiority isn’t evangelism True evangelism is meeting an image-bearer where they are and loving and serving them whether they agree with you or…
One of the difficult things about drawing closer to God is fully realizing the gravity of past sins and how they impacted others But we can’t stay stuck there Sorrow for sin is essential for repentance True repentance is essential for forgiveness Forgiveness should lead to…
Until last week, I had been doing a good bit of comfort eating: doughnuts in the morning, candy at night, processed food throughout the day The past few days, I’ve switched to a mostly carnivore diet with some intermittent fasting It’s amazing how much sharper I feel mentally…
I was one of those people who said they believed in Jesus, but I had unmarried sex and lived with an ex-girlfriend In other words, I was headed straight for hell Now that I’m Catholic, I could never dream of offending Jesus in that way ever again The Catholic faith has…
