Last year, in a faraway magical land known as Italia. A study figured out what month the average Italian gives up on their New Year’s resolution. And you may have guessed it, it’s February. If you didn’t know, February is one month after January. That’s not much time. The realization is that we want to follow through on things; we don’t want to give up. But the problem is that we are not convicted enough to be able to follow through. But there’s nothing more significant to be convicted about on this Earth than Jesus Christ and his promise of being the way, the truth, and the life.
So we are now in February, and my invitation is to follow through with the Lord. Ask Jesus for a greater conviction of your faith. Because we’re no longer talking about New Year’s resolutions but about eternity.

I was rooting for England, because my favorite soccer player of all time is Harry Kane. And in British English, it’s Harry Kane. I love Harry Kane. He is the striker of all strikers…

A Problem with YOLO
Here’s the problem with YOLO. The more and more our culture embraces YOLO, the more and more marriage becomes radical. Marriage is saying that I no longer live for myself; I live for another. That selfless love bears fruit. But with YOLO, you are living for yourself. You can do what you want whenever you want, but it’s sterile. The second reading today from…

Do You Realize Jesus’ Love For You?
One of my really good friends from college just got engaged, and she’s just filled with joy. But the crazy thing is literally moments after she was engaged, the whole world who knows her knew that she was engaged because she couldn’t help but share the love that she found with her fiancé.
