There are consequences to unbelief, but living as if our master is a good master frees us to invest the gifts and talents we are given and reap incredible rewards.

Investing Our Talents for the Master

Blessed Are the Pure in Heart

John the Baptist was a man of thresholds--they are mysterious, full of potential and always very dramatic. It is the will of the Father to free us from our sin, and baptism is a threshold through which we step to do that.

Thresholds

Fr. Eirik shares how love embraces us, and how we can cling to that love even when we don't have someone to hug us in person.

The Embrace of Jesus

It's hard to escape--love is the ultimate point of God's commands to us. But how love looks and--more importantly--acts, depends on the situation. Loving others requires us to love God and receive his love to give to others.
