Gratitude Should Move Us

Not Another Bearded Sky God

Faith can be invigorating or stifling; it can liberate or oppress. Oftentimes the determining factor is how we see God and believe God sees us. Today we take a look at these things asking, "And how (really) is this good news?" Homily on Luke 15:1-10.

Whose Agenda?

It's tempting to equate our agenda with God's. But doing so is misguided. In today's gospel lesson Jesus reminds us that God is up to something bigger than whatever we're focused on. And that our agenda should be one-and-the-same with God's. Luke 12:13-21.

Distracted, Forgetful, & Not Awestruck
