Within my spiritual walk, the story of creation provides an endless resource of unfathomable depth to contemplate the great mysteries and questions of our faith. My goal during Epiphany is to introduce you to and bring you along on my contemplative journey through Genesis 1.

It is disgraceful for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we must prevent such an embarrassing situation, where people show vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn.

The day of the Lord isn’t one of separating good and evil people but of separating the good and evil within a person.

When we read the Hebrew Scriptures, we should continuously look for Jesus Christ within them.

The outward appearance is identical, but the foundations are different. Sand won’t support the building, but rock will. The question that Jesus poses to us in the teaching is where is our foundation?

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
