“One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be well?” The sick man answered him, ‘Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.’ Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up...

“Thus says the LORD: Lo, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the things of the past shall not be remembered or come to mind. Instead there shall always be rejoicing and happiness in what I create.” Is 65:17-18 Do you ever peek at the end of the book you’re reading?

God Beyond the Either/Or

Last updated on: March 12, 2021 at 5:54 pm By Billy Kangas

The world is full of “either/or” scenarios. We’re told that we need to choose between a limited number of options. Do you like Chocolate or Vanilla? Android or Apple? Taking a bath or a shower? Being a passenger or driver? Are you a Democrat or Republican? Do you prefer a pen or a pencil? I could go on. In today’s passage, Jesus has been given an either/or question. He’s asked if a blind man’s condition was caused by his own... Read more

He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth.” Hosea 6:3 Today crosses the halfway point in Lent between Ash Wednesday and Easter.

Saint Maximilian of Tebessa – The Courage on Conscience

Last updated on: March 12, 2021 at 5:07 pm By Billy Kangas

Saint Maximilian of Tebessa was an African saint from the third century. When he was compelled to enlist in the Roman army his conscience would not allow him to swear allegiance to the emperor. As a result, he was beheaded. He is the first documented conscientious objector but he would not be the last. Indeed, the Order of Maximilian, a group of anti-war clergy formed in the 1970s took their name from him and were inspired by his example. May God... Read more

Walk-in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper.” Jer 7:23 Do you know the voice of God?
