They live a Christian life that is crippled and incapable of reaching its full potential of God’s promised spiritual renewal. Churches teach the doctrine of the Godhead (God, Son, and Spirit), but mistakenly place highest emphasis on God and Jesus Christ. Churches give little instruction on the dynamics of the golden seal of the Holy Spirit. The Biblical context…

We have to do our best to live holy lives, which is not any easy thing to do because of the world we live in is corrupt.

has confessed my sin to Jesus Christ, claimed the gift of Salvation that He has given me and have surrendered my life to Him, I am no longer under the law of the Ten Commandments but under God’s grace. I still make it a goal to obey the Ten Commandments, not to earn my way to heaven, but in response to the gift of salvation I have received from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. As a follower of Jesus, I no longer try to live for myself but for him. As I follow Jesus and am lead by…

we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn…

Meeting Jesus in the Sacraments "The Sacraments are not mere appearances, they are not rituals; they are the power of Christ; Jesus Christ is present in the Sacraments”(Francis). The Seven Sacraments are Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Matrimony, and Holy Orders.

The Word of God became flesh to reconcile us to God, to manifest God’s love, to offer a model of holiness, to allow us to share in divine life, and to defeat the devil. He did everything out of his love. His creation was perfect, but it was the temptation of Satan that brought sin to the world. The consequence of sin required a special sacrifice that would save human beings. God becoming man to offer his father the sacrifice is that special…

When a mysterious stranger walks in one Christmas at Camelot, he challenges any knight grant him a game and prove the valor of King Arthurs court. The Green knight sets a standard of bravery and honor just as Christ calls people to a higher state of existence. In both life and Gawain’s quest the "challengers or teachers" appear unrecognized to test the integrity of people who profess to live according to the higher standard.
