Daily Reflections

The fast God wants doesn't shrink your waistline; it shrinks the distance between you and the person you've been crossing the street to avoid.

During this Lenten season, when we reflect on the changes that need to happen within us, I invite you to look at these signs more closely.

Lent is not merely a season of external religious practices, but a sacred time to renew our hearts.

“Tell me what you love, and I’ll tell you what will become of you.” It’s all really pretty simple.

Christianity does not claim that suffering is good, but it does teach that we can make our suffering productive of good.

If our perception of the “other” is causing us to sin, we need to throw it away no matter how attached we are to it, and listen to what Jesus says!

This Lent, let us look at what is in front of us and finally choose the real thing.

Before we can speak plainly, we must listen. Before we listen, we must desire to really hear the voice of Jesus speak to our hearts.

Jesus will always be there for us if we are faithful and trust in his infinite love and mercy. 

Evil things come from within, from the heart, Jesus tells the crowd. His point is that we have a responsibility to nurture godly matters of the heart, rather than evil things.
