As we go into the next reading assignment, we get hit right in the face with another challenging topic. Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and…
We have been deceived over the years. We have been led to believe that if we quit doing all the “bad things” and go to church life will get easier. As much as we want to believe that, we have the facts that it is not true. When we are honest with ourselves, there are…

If there is something specific…
