available on our website. There are tons of bible study tapes and also
tapes on a variety of topics that you do not often hear about.
We are in the process of converting all the audio to MP3 format which is a
huge job! Many MP3s are available for download now and more are uploaded

WANT ADS
"Jesus asked him, 'What do you want Me to do for you?' " —Mark 10:51
One of Jesus' favorite questions is: "What do you want?" (Mk 10:51; Mt
20:21; Jn 5:6) Many times we don't know what we want, and Jesus challenges
us to clarify this.
Often we want things which are incompatible. We want to sin and still have
a loving relationship with the Lord. We want to "do our own thing" and
still be free. We want both selfishness and happiness. If we face reality,
we see that these things are incompatible. Therefore, we must decide what
we want most and reject the other "wants."
Another problem in deciding what we want is denial. We see this especially
with alcoholism and other addictive behavior. But all sin produces some
denial. In denial, we will not admit our true needs. This prevents us from
wanting these needs fulfilled. For example, if sinners deny their sin,
they'll not want forgiveness. If the spiritually blind deny their
blindness, they'll not want sight. If the enslaved deny their slavery,
they'll not want freedom. We can even deny our denial.
Therefore, we must repent, face reality, and come out of denial. Now, we
can answer Jesus' question: "What do you want Me to do for you?"
Prayer: Sacred Heart of Jesus, may I want what You want.
Promise: "They departed in tears, but I will console them and guide
them." —Jer 31:9
Praise: Praise You, Jesus, Healer, Redeemer, and Savior! Heaven and earth
are full of Your glory. Alleluia!
