God is the source of our freedom
'For your mercy is before my eyes, and I walk in your truth.'
By Norm McGraw
Click here to read Norm McGraw's reflection from July 2, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
Not only Christians, but also other religious denominations believe this. The official Catholic Catechism states that Jews were “the first to hear the word of God” * in their covenant with Him revealed in the Old Testament. The catechism also describes Muslims as “those who acknowledge the Creator.”
Norm McGraw’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
God loves us, but is surely exasperated
'Why are you terrified, Oh you of little faith?'

The number of issues where God continues to be exasperated is endless, already settled and evident in both Church documents and historical deliberations. The folks leaning over heaven’s mezzanine, those who have died to witness God’s truths, are pulling their hair out.
John Pearring's reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
