Called to Spiritual Warfare: The Devil is Real and We Must Do Battle With Him

By Deacon Keith A Fournier | July 2, 2014

In his introduction to The Screwtape Letters, a brilliant work exposing the unseen spiritual warfare taking place around all of us which uses a series of letters between two demons - the older Screwtape, an instructor and the younger student Wormwood - the great apologist CS Lewis wrote - There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.

By Deacon Keith A Fournier | July 2, 2014

On Monday, June 30, 2014, the United States Supreme Court issued its long awaited decision in what is now called the Hobby Lobby Case.

Learning from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to Give our Hearts to God

By Deacon Keith A Fournier | June 29, 2014

The heart is the center of a person, the place from which he/she makes the choices which will affect the world within them and around them.

It reveals to us the interior mystery of the surrendered love of Mary to the God who is love. It began with the "FIAT, her Yes, given to the messenger of the Lord, the Angel. But it continued through a life of loving surrender, including standing at the new altar of the Cross on Golgotha's Hill.

James Robison: Witnessing the Miracle Jesus Prayed For

By James Robison | June 29, 2014

I believe the prayers of earnest Christians helped lead to the choice of Pope Francis. Many were amazed that a humble man, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, filled with such love for the poor, downtrodden, and overlooked from a radically socialist country (Argentina) could be named Pope. From the moment it happened, I felt like it was an answer not only to the prayers of truly concerned believers, but even a step toward seeing Jesus' prayer answered. This week I was blessed to be part of perhaps an unprecedented moment between evangelicals and the Catholic Pope. On Tuesday, for nearly three hours, a few of us were blessed to meet in an intimate circle of prayerful discussion and lunch to discuss not only seeing Jesus' prayer answered, but that every believer would become bold, joy-filled witnesses for Christ. - James Robison
