What Does It Mean to Be Irish?

I’ve studied Celtic Spirituality for sixteen years, and every St. Patrick’s Day I find myself pondering my “Celtic mutt” heritage (Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, & the black forest region of Germany) and asking: what does it really mean to be a Celt? What does it mean to be Irish? There are many ways to answer this question.

The Apostle Is a Father

Throughout the Bible, we find the Father being the source of everything. There is no inner healing without the father. This we see in many Bible stories such as in the story of Joseph, the prodigal son, Elijah & Elisha and others. Jesus had his eyes fixed on the Father and did only what he saw the Father doing.

Who Else Wants To Save The World?

Have you ever imagined yourself doing those heroic things in your life that literally reshape the world as we know it – you overcome your personal demons, overcome poverty and oppression and lead your generation into a new world of freedom, enlightenment and justice for all? Ok, well maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, but at least you’ve dreamt about doing a tiny little part of that on some level, haven’t you? Look, even Jesus wasn’t able to manage saving the world and creating justice for all, but before I take away your inspiration I would just like…

The Investments That Outlast Time Are Those We Make in People and the Returns Are Many and Various!

Great dangers are confronting our world at this time and one of these dangers is compromising the truth of the whole Word of God. This can take various forms. This dear man had a concern and compassion towards those who had come to real faith in Jesus Christ. Paul recognised his enemy. That same enemy opposes men and God and the work of God in these present days and it is sheer deception to ignore and overlook this possibility. Paul writes that he wanted to come to them on various occasions, but Satan hindered us. He stopped us and prevented us and hindered us. It is the word for breaking up a road to render it impassable. “Out of sight – out of mind” is a popular proverb, but that was not true as far as Paul was concerned. These men and women in Thessalonica were near to his heart even though miles separated them.
