‘Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination,’ according to Immanuel Kant. You could also say happiness is a condition of being that thrives when we are at peace with ourselves. A wise man once wrote, “The Christmas spirit isn’t a seasonal feeling of joy and happiness that only lasts as long as the season does. The Christmas spirit is the force that leads us through the year with resilience and unexplainable joy even when things are not going our way. It lived in us as long as we were at peace with who we were and shared our love.” The Christmas spirit is exemplified by...

The Bible tells us how good it is for God’s people to dwell together in unity.St. Augustine once said, “By faithfulness we are collected and wound up into unity within ourselves, whereas we had been scattered abroad in multiplicity.” We come into this unity by the love of Christ.

Jesus spent more time ...

What is love? You love your spouse. You love your children. You love your parents. You love your friends. You love God. You love chocolate cake and ice cream! The English language has one word for love. The Greek language has four words for love (eros, philia, storge, and agape). What is true love? What is God’s agape love?
