Thanks Bruce, so true – sometimes these idols are hard to see as they become part of our established life practice, our habits. I know it is with me. May God open our eyes, may we truly see in Jesus radiant light.

God bless you Bruce! Thank you so for these inspiring Lenten videos. I am receiving so much from them. I don’t think I’ve experienced Lent in such a profound way as I am now through the wisdom, thought -provoking inspirations of your teaching. I have yearned for a closer relationship with God and now I finally feel that I am getting there. Never has lent been such a joy.
Thank you!

Thank You Bruce for the Lenten program, Its very true to put God first in our lives because that the way to thank him for his goodness, for our health, work and to spread the word of God wherever we are.

Thank you

Hi Bruce, thanks, you are so right about these idols.

I am sorry but I found your opinion hard to agree with. In my opinion our Spouses and Children are Gods gift to us and therefore there is no competition between God and them.
As a married person my vocation is to my partner and as a Parent to my Children and God walks with me daily in this vocation. Everything in our life is with Gods Blessing and guidance.
