The Amateur Christian

One Thing Remains

We all have so much; we all do so much. Yet, we all feel a longing for “something more,” like the young man in the gospel today. What is the “one thing” that Jesus would ask us to let go?

Why Did Jesus Have to Say THAT???

There are no “throw away” sayings of Jesus. So what do we do today when He teaches against divorce and says that matrimony is between a man and a woman? It has to do with God’s belief in us.

Aiming for Truth; Reflecting the Truth

What’s your heart’s deepest desire? Are you aimed at it? If it’s something less than the ultimate Good, less than God, then you will end up unhappy. Jesus teaches how to set ambition aside and pursue true meaning and ultimate happiness.

Apuntando a la Verdad; Reflejando la Verdad

Jesús es la reflexión perfecta de lo que debemos ser. Sigamos la Verdad para hacernos buenos.

Check Your Opinions

Where do you get your information about Jesus? And why there and not some other place? Often, our vision of Jesus comes preconceived; however Jesús is Jesús and not some caricature of preconceived notions. Maybe we need to let go of our opinions, and simply listen to Christ.

Revisa Tus Opiniones

¿De donde sacas tu información sobre Jesús? ¿Y porqué allí, y no un otra fuente? Nuestras opiniones a medida nos informan a cuales fuentes escuchamos; pero Jesús es Jesús, y no un caricatura de nuestras esperanzas o opiniones.

What's Wrong with the World?

The perennial question, “What’s wrong with the world?” also has a perennial answer. I am. So what am I going to do about it?

Con Todo

Se necesita un base sólido para have el compromiso de fe. Eso es Jesucristo.

All In

It takes complete confidence in your position to go “all in.” Like a good poker player, or the founding fathers, we have a solid ground on which to base our commitment of faith - Jesus Christ.

Mary:Fully Alive

In praying this prayer of Mary, we are realizing what being fully alive really is – like a perfectly cleaned stained glass window, allowing the glory of the sun not only to shine through it but also to reveal the beauty and glory of the glass itself. When God shines through Mary – when God shines through you – she is seen as the perfect creation that she is.
