Brother and Sister, If you love Him tell Him so. The kind of love that God requires of us is not easy. Jesus never pretended that it was. He immediately added that he who loves anyone or anything more than Him IS NOT WORTHY OF HIM, and he who does not take.. read more →

My Brothers and Sisters, To be holy, you need to have good soil. Jesus tells us that good soil yields fruit and not just a small amount, but an abundance of fruit: 30, 60 even 100-fold, all huge numbers according to the Jewish mentality of that time. Do we listen to the Word of.. read more →
