The Eucharist (communion) unites us to Christ in mystical union. "If we really understood the Eucharist, we would die of joy." -St. Jean Vianney

What the Bible says about life after death is one of the most misunderstood aspects of Christianity. Paul asserts that the resurrection body is a unique spiritual-physical reality. Our bodies in heaven will look like Christ's resurrected body.

One of the reasons Christianity is so relevant is because it asks and seeks to answer the big questions of life. In the case of Easter weekend, Jesus' death on the cross forces us to confront death and how we deal with it, and only his resurrection provides us with hope.

Many people give something up for Lent, but few have a deep understanding of why. This passage helps us to understand the spiritual disciplines—a strategy for fighting the tendency of our hearts to drift away from God.

What defines you as a person? Your career? Your marital status? Your sexual identity? If you define yourself in these terms, your scope is too narrow. Be defined by your relationship with God, through Christ. You are created in God's image, in his own likeness.

We have a tremendous temptation to think that there are some people who are sexually broken and some people who aren't. And we either think "I'm the broken, and they're not" or "They're the broken, and I'm not." But that's not true. The reality is that everybody is sexually broken, and therefore we all are in need of God's extraordinary grace.

People generally think of love either in terms of duty or emotion, but the Christian ideal of love is based on commitment.

“When I became a Christian, I didn’t sign up for this!” When God calls us to his will we often, like Jonah, run the other way and hide. We are natural runners. We run away from God, to the world. We run away from God, to false religiosity. However, God invites us to run to Him with our fear and emotions in all things. The father wants a relationship.

One of the most profound differences between the way Christianity views sex and the way everyone else views sex is that the world sees sex as primarily an opportunity for great pleasure and self-fulfillment, while God sees sex as primarily an (enjoyable) opportunity for sacrifice and submission.

Part of our culture's zeitgeist is the idea that the physical is everything and the spiritual is nothing, and therefore we can do whatever we want with our bodies. But Scripture maintains that the body and the spirit are intimately connected. Because what we do with our bodies matters, even sex is a picture of something spiritual.
