Ex-Seminarians On: What Life Is. The Monk in the Mountain →. April 25, 2016. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,. Gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. I have been mulling over the concept in my mind. And I am discovering how interesting peace is and how rarely it is sought after or that it is often sought after in a misappropriated way. Peace, not a fleeting, temporary state of relaxation on a vacation. What does that m...

Ex-Seminarians On: The World | my blog
https://felixliou.wordpress.com/2016/10/03/ex-seminarians-on-the-world
Living Water →. Ex-Seminarians On: The World. October 3, 2016. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. It is important to remember that no matter how optimistic or humanistic you are, that the ways of Christ are in direct opposition, in complete enmity, with the ways of this world. (1 Jn. 2:15) The ways of this world are dark. To God or to the world? Do you really love me?

My fiancé and I (along with my mom who is in town visiting) went to the Oregon Garden. On Saturday. The trip was part sight-seeing and part scouting expedition for potential wedding reception venues.

Falling in Love →. The Monk in the Mountain. May 2, 2016. I realized that the concept of accepting trouble and imperfection is a recurring theme in my thoughts.

The most interesting thing I have noticed is that when some people seek peace, they seek it in a way that only requires the elimination of their trouble or annoyance. They seek the absence of the imperfection that disrupts their peace. Can I rest in the presence of God no matter what I l...

Holiness: A Life of Freedom →. Ex Seminarians On: The Silence of God. September 8, 2015. Celia, I’m sorry that I’m tardy on this one. True to our series, I haven’t read yours. You’ll have to forgive me that I rushed this post! Interestingly, when I thought about the silence of God, my mind turned to the routine and the mundanity of life and not to tragedy. It reminded me that this world is weighty. I wrote about this in blog’s past:. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. September 9, 2015 at 2:53 pm.
