For heaven’s sake
God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he…

Our kingdom is not of this world
There is a movement of fear sweeping across this country that is sucking in a lot of Christians and sidetracking them into much useless endeavor. Christians who have staked their claim on saving a “Christian” America through politics are worried and afraid over what is happening to this country. Fear mongers are stoking the fires…

Patron saint
I listened again this morning to Lambert Dolphin’s interview from yesterday, and my wife asked me what I liked the most about it. I like that this man has a vast knowledge of the universe, both from his study of outer space to the study of the earth from a geophysical standpoint, a vast store…

Lambert Dolphin, space and time traveler

Zooming with Jesus
For where two or three gather together in my name, I am there among them. Matthew 18:20 I met with a fellow pastor yesterday for about 45 minutes on a zoom call. I must admit, this pandemic is changing a lot of our patterns of doing things, but not all of them are bad. Take…

The unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace
[I told you that while I must have dozed off in my car while waiting last Friday for Marti to get an MRI at the hospital for a diagnosis of what we are still in the dark about, I somehow remember getting these text messages from the hospital to come and get “the General” out…

So many questions; so few answers
But among those answers is only one that stands out, and it stands out because it is the only answer that answers every question: People need the Lord.

Come together, right now, over Jesus
I wrote this Catch four years ago during the 2016 primaries. We were divided then. We are even more divided now. Except for us in the Body of Christ; we are not divided. We have come together over Jesus. And we’re sticking together, regardless. It’s a silly, nonsensical Beatles song (even George Harrison admitted that),…

The sweet aroma of Christ
We are living in a time of unprecedented fear and instability when news from any source is mostly bad. Outrage is the norm. You’ve got people talking vaguely about dark corners and deep shadows and everyone seems to know what they’re talking about. People are afraid. Kindness is in short supply. Bullies are everywhere. Some…

In Christ, we all belong
We’re all in this together When we reach We can fly Know inside We can make it We’re all in this together Once we see Theres a chance That we have And we take it Here at the Catch Ministry, we’ve taken a chance on virtual relationships and found out that virtual relationships are real…

Ready or not here we go
Things are getting pretty bleak on this side of eternity, but that does not mean we get depressed or lose hope. It just means that things are pretty bleak. Changes in the world’s situation have no affect on the truth about Christ and His promises to never leave us or forsake us. God does not…

Reactivate the New Covenant
The New Covenant is the most important truth about living the real Christian life that almost no one knows about. It runs counter to most of the teaching and assumptions Christians have about being a better person, doing the right thing, being holy, being religious, pleasing the Lord, living the victorious Christian life and I’m…

‘Stuck in the Middle with You’
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right Here I am stuck in the middle with you. – Stealers Wheel Our friend made a comment yesterday that made me laugh. It also made me think of a silly song that suddenly had new meaning in the currently…

‘Close Encounters’ getting closer
One of our readers sent me this Catch this morning originally posted March 1, 2019. I’m not sure why he did, but I’m glad he did, especially as we are more aggressively building our own church now. So thank you, Ed, for drawing our attention again to looking into what’s coming. Okay, I’ve been dancing…

One Lord
There is only one Lord. This makes it easy. It simplifies matters greatly. We don’t have any Lords to choose from. Name one Lord like our Lord. There is no contest. There is only one Lord and Savior of all mankind, and that would be Jesus. The Creator, Sustainer, Counselor, Prince of Peace. He is…

Only One who can make us one

God stops oceans
I was recently standing in a restaurant take-out line for lunch. You know the scene, I’m sure. You’re standing there with a surgical mask firmly in place over your nose and mouth, and Xs on the sidewalk that show you where to stand six feet apart. Then someone comes out the door with their order…

Keeping the unity of the Spirit
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:3-6 This is a time to…
