So, Christianity 101. Never ridicule or mock or laugh at God because God is always right. In the gospel for this Sunday, people ridicule, mock, and laugh at Jesus for what he says. And in the end, Jesus is correct. The little girl rises, and she is alive. A lot of the time, we do not understand God’s ways. But God promised He is the way, the truth, and the life. And we can rely on Him even if we do not understand. There is this one time in the gospel when Jesus dies. People think that it’s over, but then guess what? He rises from the dead. God has the final say, and He always has the last laugh. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

The storm is attacking them, and they are not safe. But what does Jesus do…

Pentecost 2024
Okay, so I promise I am not a pagan. In Greek mythology, the God Prometheus steals heavenly fire and gives it to the people on earth. The gods, especially Zeus, are so upset that they condemn Prometheus to eternal punishment because they are jealous and want to withhold the fire. This is the crazy thing. Today, on Pentecost, it’s the opposite, that our Father in Heaven gives us his fire…

Resurrection of the Body
So, Captain America is obviously the best out of all the superheroes. When he receives the soldier serum, he becomes more of himself. He doesn’t become less of himself. He becomes perfected. Before the serum, he was weak, but he was good. After the serum, he is still good and perfected. This is precisely what Jesus says in the gospel today: that we believe in the…
