Getting Back to God - Today!!

Satan is alive and we are in a spiritual battle that is dividing us from our closest relations; our closest friends and immediate families.

If you are watching and listening you would clearly know these are irregular times we are living through. The acceptance of complete apathy toward what offends God is normal. Today, I do not want to speak to what we all know is wrong, i.e., abortion, transgenderism, gender ideology, condemning others for their fallen nature while overlooking our own sinful behavior. I want to address the worst of these crimes that will affect your soul.

The complete or partial turning away from God himself…and not caring enough to correct this behavior.

From the pulpit, a church that was doing its duty would have to speak about these issues regularly, if only to work as a counterweight against this era. In doing so, they would show true love and kindness. They would have to point out that we have seen this behavior before all throughout history. It’s been said that in the days of pagan Rome, the minds of men were so warped with the images of debauchery that it would have made the path to Heaven virtually impossible. 

As every area of public and private life gets infected with deviancy, it affects our thoughts and behavior. What we perceive as common becomes what we are willing to accept, if only out of tired resignation.

And so, in the Church as in the world, we begin to accept the unacceptable. We excuse what we have seen before because we have seen it before. It’s how we become blind to liturgical abuses and begin accepting the unacceptable as normal.

What can you do today to correct your path and point your life to Christ? Simple. Re-learn the Ten Commandments. Go to Reconciliation. Go to a Eucharistic adoration chapel and sit before the creator of the universe and ask for forgiveness. Let go of the things that negatively affect your mind. Forgive seven times seventy…whether or not others forgive you. And lastly, do not avoid difficult conversations because they make you feel bad or are afraid of offending. We are far past the time to speak up.

I call myself the Catholic Mentee for a reason. I have studied and lived out the teachings of the Catholic church for most of my life. I can say it can be daunting to understand the “fullness of the faith”. In your church, it may not appear to have been been preached from the pulpit or you may not have been paying attention. This is why, as a layperson of the church, I try to do my part in helping those around me to see what I see.

My latest book, Getting Back to God: My Life in Story & Song, can provide you with a simple understanding of how to apply the Ten Commandments in your daily life. Many of us need a life coach to improve or relationships, but the most important one is with God. You can begin today. Praise be Jesus Christ!
