Power & Participation

“What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death”

Philippians 3:8-10

Weekly Life-Giving Moment

”A friend of mine needed some work done on her home. As she was living what she described as a “frugal life”, rather than hiring a professional contractor, she asked a fellow member of her church, who she knew had skills and tools for such work, if he might do it. He did the work, and when she asked him how much she owed him, he said, “Nothing for me, but just give to the church what you would have paid me.” The Holy Spirit showed him a clever way to help someone while also using his skills.

The Most Important Ecumenical Question Today

Ecumenism is a term that derives from the ancient Greek word (οἶκος) oikos, which means house or household as the basic unit of society. From that term, we derive today’s concepts of economy and of the word oikouménē or ecumenism. Ecumenism precisely means: “The inhabited, or civilized world,” but is used today to describe the Christian church as a world wide unified body of believers, both clergy and laity, but spread and distributed in various forms of what we know as churches, denominations or parachurch organizations. By the same name, ecumenical, we are calling the early church councils…
