The Amateur Christian

It‘s the End

We often fear the end of times. However, for the Christian, we’re already in the Last Days.

Es el Fin

A veces, tememos el fin de los tiempos. Pero, para el cristiano, ya estamos en los últimos días.

Loving Until It Hurts

“When you love until it hurts, there is no more hurt, only love” - St. Mother Teresa

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?
