Focus on the path ahead

January 25, 2018 / jamesrneal / Leave a comment

If they had been thinking of the land that they had left behind, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; indeed, he has prepared a city for them. Hebrews 11:15-16 This … Continue reading Focus on the path ahead

The pride of things that fade

January 15, 2018 / jamesrneal / Leave a comment

Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God. They will collapse and fall, but we shall rise and stand upright. Psalm 20:7-8 From the moment we wake til we fall asleep, this world inundates us with the desire for things. We’re exposed to more … Continue reading The pride of things that fade

The order of nothingness

January 10, 2018 / jamesrneal / 1 Comment

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.

Drawn from the Greek word epipháneia, … Continue reading The inward journey to Epiphany

Judging our worth

January 3, 2018 / jamesrneal / 2 Comments

“You judge by human standards; I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me.” John 8:15-16 There is perhaps no attribute more human than our tendency to judge others. Our ego, our false sense of self that … Continue reading Judging our worth

The Holy Name

January 3, 2018 / jamesrneal / Leave a comment

Today we remember the Feast of The Holy Name, known in other traditions as the Feast of the Circumcision. This feast day, which occurs on Jan. 1 each year, recalls the bris for Jesus – the traditional Jewish ceremony in which a boy would be circumcised and given his name. The ceremony comes from the … Continue reading The Holy Name
