Remember the time when someone, a stranger maybe, spoke that uncanny word of encouragement? Or the time when you knew God was speaking to you… right to you? Recall when coincidence could never describe the orchestration of events which, happening differently, could have resulted in disaster? Remember the pivotal moment when God unlocked you from
“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea…magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him’” (Mt. 2: 1-2). Why is the visit from the magi even included in the
How would you describe an ocean sunset to a man born blind? On the other hand, how would a blind man describe the infinite details of that same nightfall, his heightened senses sketching the moment for his soul with details more profound than a seeing person could ever know? Christians, perceived to be blind by
An abortion represents a death. According to the World Health Organization, every year abortion robs life from an estimated 45 million preborn boys and girls globally; 800,000 in the U.S. and New York is the hub.

Mankind fell (Gen. 3:1-8). Humanity is naked, exposed to God’s judgment (Gen. 3:9-11), vulnerable to a world of chaos: “Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden” (Gen. 3:23a).

After man rejected God’s authority in a vain attempt to have all God’s blessings without Him, man fell headlong into the dungeon of his own appetites, causing all creation to
“Son, your sins are forgiven” (Mk 2:5b). These are the words a paralyzed man heard right before Jesus made him walk. What kind of person has so much ownership over all humanity that He can expect us to behave according to His standard, and when we don’t, He considers it a personal affront against Him,
Since that infamous day of the Supreme Court’s shameless display of injustice in 1973, the Church’s walk for life has made great strides. That Court arbitrarily insisted that abortion is legal simply because they say, “the word ‘person’ does not apply to the unborn.” If recent times tell us anything, it is that we have
It has been one year this month since the Covid-19 shutdowns changed the world. For women facing unplanned pregnancy, the compounded financial and health complications put a horrifying fear in the driver’s seat—a fear racing her straight to a reckless abortionist. 2020 meant women needed the Church acting courageously on her behalf more than ever.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and earth passed away… and there will no longer be any death…. Then He said to me… ‘He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son’” (Rev. 21:1a, 4a, 26:1a, 7).
