Called to Share the Story

Called to Share

There are a ton of books out there talking about how to share the story of our faith. A common word is “witness.”  Scholars, preachers, and speakers, all talk about this subject.

Called to Care

Part of our calling as people born of water and the Spirit is to care for others!  That’s in addition to being God’s servants, and Christian leaders. Review my previous reflections:  You’re baptized, then you are God’s servant.  You are called to lead.  Before delving into today’s reflection, read the following words from our Lord, […]

Called to Lead

Every Christian, born of water and the Spirit, not only is she/he a servant of God but is also called to lead!  That’s kind of redundant, one would think. Isn’t it?  Of course, how can you be a servant of God without becoming a leader? And, how can you be born of water and the […]

Gratitude: The Heart of Prayer

Gratitude: The Heart of Prayer - Emmanuel Naweji

  Gratitude is a spiritual discipline. I know that when we think of gratitude, what comes to mind is “saying thank you.” Usually, we thank people (and God) only when things go our way. Don’t we?
