What sign can you do?

John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you?

Life is the Issue

Posted by on

Contrary to popular voices, the right to life is the fundamental issue of this election as it has been in previous elections. If one does not respect the fundamental right to life, the conversation is over. There is no need to discuss healthcare, taxes, economy, security, etc., if the weakest in society are denied the basic right to be born.

Surely our great-grandchildren will look at us with the same disbelief that we have when looking back to Nazi Germany. I only pray that those same descendants will cry out "never again."
