We're not salespeople, but we depend on donations averaging $14.76 and fewer than 1% of viewers give. If you donate just $5.00, the price of your coffee, Catholic Online School could keep thriving.

Lord Jesus Christ, you have captured our hearts and opened to us the treasures of heaven. May you always be my treasure and delight and may nothing else keep me from giving you my all. Amen.

Thank you, great God and Father, for filling our hearts with trust so that we are of good hope, also for those who have not yet found trust. Thank you for giving us courage to face all the questions that arise in human life and for accepting us again and again when we come to you. You know what lies before us. You know the mountains that have to be moved. You know all the things that frustrate us and try to wear us out, and you will take them away. At last your light will shine into all the darkness. This certainty fills us with gladness and thanksgiving. In this faith we are determined to remain steadfast and to press on to victory. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Those who will not enter God’s kingdom:
Those who say Jesus is God are calling Jesus a liar and a hypocrite. Why? They pick out random verses they think say Jesus is God, and in doing so, they are rejecting the very words of God through Jesus. People can't see that Jesus is not speaking of his own self but is relaying to us what the Father is saying to him, even when it was about himself (John 12:49–50). They blaspheme God by calling His son God. In John 17:3, Jesus says God is the only true God. He also says God gave him life (John 5:26), but people say this is a lie and still refuse God's words through His son. There is not one verse in the ENTIRE Bible that proves Jesus is God. Not one. Jesus told us who the Father is: he is the only true God (Isaiah 44:6).
