TO walk and talk with God, as child with father, friend with friend; lifting up life into the light of His love—this is religion. Instead of criticism of it, commentary upon it, controversy over it, philosophy about it, exhortation to it, of which the world is full, this little book offers religion itself, just as one would offer a picture, a story or a song. Real religion is the offering up of each man’s life, in its concrete setting, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to the guidance and keeping of God. Thus each man’s religion, like his life, is individual, unique. Midway ...

In The Great Rescue, Dr. R.C. Sproul introduces the Bible’s message of salvation. Since God is holy and we are not, we stand condemned in His presence. We have no power to remove our sin or to escape His wrath. But by sheer grace, God has provided the rescue we need through the atoning sacrifice of His Son. Seeing that Jesus alone brings salvation, one question remains: Will you trust in Him?

“Father, Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do.” (Luke 23:34) Meditations on the First Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen For years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ’s Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of ...

During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on ...

The stations of the cross, as with many devotional forms within the Catholic Church, has developed over the centuries. The practice of walking the Via Dolorosa began with pilgrims to the Holy Land in Jerusalem during the Crusades and was brought back to the local parish churches by those pilgrims and crusaders. St. Alphonsus Liguouri authored a standard form in the 1700s that continues to be used in parishes today.

A series of discourses concerning Man. I shall have to make this first one more or less abstract and theoretical, dealing with first principles, with what on the one hand may strike you as commonplace and unimportant; on the other hand, with those things that may seem to you so theoretical and far away as to be, if not difficult of comprehension, still hardly able to thrill you with any feeling of interest. And yet work like this always has to be done. Before a train of cars, lighted, decorated, fragrant with flowers, full of a happy company, with laughter and song, can rush in its speed ...

"WHAT does God do all day?" once asked a little boy. One could wish that more grown-up people would ask so very real a question. Unfortunately, most of us are not even boys in religious intelligence, but only very unthinking children. It no more occurs to us that God is engaged in any particular work in the world than it occurs to a little child that its father does anything except be its father. Its father may be a Cabinet Minister absorbed in the nation's work, or an inventor deep in schemes for the world's good; but to this master-egoist he is father, and nothing more. Childhood, whether...

The heart, a term used all over the Bible, is a complex reality that captures the totality of a person's inner nature. This book explores the three capacities of the heart (knowing, loving, and choosing), explaining how each is redeemed through the threefold office of Christ (prophet, priest, and king). As listeners comprehend the heart as the source of all their thoughts, fears, words, and actions, they will discover principles and practices for orienting their hearts to truly love and obey God with all that they are.

The words from which I wish to speak to you, you will find in i Corinthians ii. 4, 5: And my... preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." The Apostle speaks of two kinds of preaching, and, as resulting from that, of two styles of religious life in the congregation. There is a preaching in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, and there is a preaching in the wisdom of words. As a result of preaching in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, the...

Unveiled Horizon is not meant to be an academic work, for I am not an academic expert. It's not meant to provide answers to your questions. Rather, as I have said in messages for many years, my desire is not to answer your questions, but instead to question your answers. Here are some of my most relentless questions: What does an authentic, vulnerable, intimate, and unhindered relationship with God look like? What does it feel like to live an existence with no judgement, no guilt, no shame, no sin consciousness, no sin nature? What does it sound like to abide in the rest of the living Word?...

Sound familiar? Well, you're not alone. Meditation expert and Christian enthusiast Dakota Hatch suffered with intense stress, social anxiety, and sleepless nights. His emotional life was quickly going downhill. He needed relief. And he found it: the key to a blissful mind.

The practice of Lectio Divina or Sacred Reading is method involving prayerfully interacting with scripture. This practice is helpful as a tool to activate the transforming power of the Word in one'sy life. In this method short passages of scripture are read several times with periods of reflection and quiet between the readings. The normal practice in reading any book is to master its content, but mastering the Bible is not the focus of Lectio Divina. That focus is to let the Word master the reader.
