#PastoralAdvice Jealousy is "the vice of possession." -J. Cardonne It's not just looking out for what's yours. It's an addiction! James 3:16
Promptly and completely obeying God is the wisest, most intelligent thing you can do.
#PastoralAdvice Jesus died once for our sins. One and done. Don't wonder if He can forgive, confess now and He will! 1 John 1:9

#PastoralAdvice God needs some on fire Christians, not lukewarm Christians
In his devotional, "In His Steps," Richard O'Ffill writes about the importance of daily time alone with God. However, we often strive for that time alone with God while neglecting family worship and prayer between spouses. Start something and make a change in your world starting in your home! Don't know where to begin?
Ask other couples and families about what they do! Experiment and have fun with it! Christianity is a journey and an adventure. There is one Way to Salvation in Christ, but our journeys vary. As our families differ, so will our worship needs. But we all need worship. So the old saying continues to ring true; The family that prays together, stays together.
#PastoralAdvice stop it with this hater theology and start loving your neighbors
According to Richard O'Ffill, an anorexic forces him/herself to not eat for so long that the appetite eventually goes away. Many have become spiritual anorexics, suppressing the spiritual appetite until the spiritual life wastes away.
Don’t starve yourself and die! Have your daily spiritual meals with Jesus and grow strong and well-nourished in Him. Then, and only then, can we gain all things, especially eternal life!
#PastoralAdvice don't use " I'm praying for you" as a way of saying "I'm thinking about you". Get on your knees and pray

“Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life: the one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.”
—Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (via joecatholic)
#PastoralAdvice slow down and spend time with Jesus no matter how boring it seems
#pastoraladvice many complain about the change they want to see in the church but few strive to BE the change God's church needs
Instead of asking "why me?" ask "why not me?" No one's immune to tragedy. And when it's not you, praise God. #PastoralAdvice
