It is possible to attend Liturgy and not believe in God, or serve on the Parish Council, or sing in the choir. It is possible to believe and do these acts of service, but to live a life that is incongruent.

I CAN control the cleanliness of my heart. I can have a heart that flows with living water. And how is that possible?

The Gospel should be preached on the playground, in the office, at home, on the baseball field, and it should be preached by how we act, not only by what we say.

Jesus contrasts the narrow gate that leads to life with a wide path that leads to destruction. It takes discipline to find the narrow path...The wide path does not require patience or discipline. So, it is attractive to people.

There are so many good and humble prayers that go unanswered, and it is very difficult to be told to ask and it will be given, and then we ask and it isn’t. Which leads back to faith...

“Self-control” is actually not achieved through will power or personal strength, but through union with Christ.
