Ethics

2022-12-17T06:27:44+00:00

The integrity problem The executive who runs a company fills his pockets at the expense of his shareholders. The politician makes promises that he has no intention of keeping. The student "borrows" answers from his classmates to pass a test. The minister falls into adultery under the pretext of filling an "unsatisfied need." The driver exceeds the speed limit thinking that he will not be penalized. The lawyer gives a much larger account to his client to increase his profit. And the list goes on. If he asks someone, "Do [...]

Euthanasia

The best decision Imagine that you are sitting at the bedside of someone you love dearly… someone who is suffering from an incurable disease. What happens when you face the dilemma of having to make a medical decision, a momentous decision with moral implications? Is it valid to decide that the loved one who is suffering should die due to the circumstances? What is the right perspective to make the right decision? How can you be sure you're making the right decision in the midst of a clinical crisis? When [...]

God's guarantee for you “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give them eternal life; and they will never perish, nor will anyone snatch them out of my hand. My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand." (John 10:27,29).

Take Care of Others

2022-12-17T05:44:32+00:00

A Biblical Example of Caring for Others “And behold, a lawyer stood up and said, to test him: Master, by doing what will I inherit eternal life? He said to him: What is written in the law? How do you read? He answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And he said to him: You have answered well; do this, and you will [...]

Codependency

2022-12-17T05:20:14+00:00

Give the Lord first place When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, he began with these words, “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). He knew that if we made our relationship with him the highest priority, he would bless our lives and we would be a blessing to others through our interpersonal relationships. The main problem with codependency is that it violates the core of the first commandment. In a codependent relationship, you allow someone else to take the place that only God should occupy in [...]

Child Sexual Abuse

She was talented, athletic and beautiful. But even so, she never lost the attractiveness of a simple girl, perhaps like one of our neighbors. When she won the 1958 Miss America pageant, Marilyn Van Derber walked the runway at an Atlantic City theater. Her reign lasted a busy year in which she made many stellar appearances. She subsequently finished her studies and began an outstanding career as a lecturer. She was the ultimate expression of self-confidence and composure. She hosted 23 television specials and served for 16 years as the [...]

Pride and Humility

2022-12-17T04:49:43+00:00

Christ's attitude “Complete my joy, feeling the same, having the same love, unanimous, feeling the same thing. Do nothing out of strife or vainglory; rather with humility, each one estimating the others as superior to himself; not looking each one for his own, but each one also for what belongs to the others. Let there therefore be in you this mind that was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God to be something to cling to, but emptied himself, taking [...]

Decisions

2022-12-16T22:01:03+00:00

How to make wise decisions “She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not”… Has she ever plucked the petals off a yellow daisy one by one, wishing the last one would give her the most important answer of her life? This is an unreliable way to make correct decisions! That's how insecure are the decisions we make guided by feelings. Wise decisions are made with an understanding of God's will, and God delights in revealing his will to those who are willing to do [...]

The Communication

2022-12-16T21:40:37+00:00

The Impact of Words Have you considered the great impact that your words have? A careless comment, an offense or a sarcastic sneer. What does it communicate to others? Your words have the power to bring life or death to the heart of your fellow man. What you say and do can make or break others; it can strengthen them in the Lord or weaken their faith. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and whoever loves it will eat its fruits." (Proverbs 18:21) “Why is it [...]
