Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:02:23 -0500
This month we’re reading through Luke. Each of the four Gospels offers us unique experiences with Christ as we read about Him from various perspectives. Although some of us have read through the Matthew, Mark, Luke, and/or John countless times, we all benefit tremendously every time we re-read them. For others of [...] - >> Getting truth from a liar.

From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, broadcaster Glenn Beck has told a crowd of tens of thousands of people gathering on the National Mall that their country has "wandered in darkness" for too long. (Aug. 28)

An Arab sheik, Prince Nasir, razed his patatial home out of respect for the sensibilities of an American consultant whose son drowned in the pool during a party. The consultant was Matt Damon and that incident was a scene from the movie Syriana. It would be nice for the supporters of the - >> Video: Why our congresspersons went AWOL this Summer. Funny.
Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:54:00 -0500
The American people deserve the chance to hear from and talk to their elected officials directly. It's appalling that Members of Congress won't meet with their constituents. Citizens need to hold Congress accountable. It's time to tell Congress to show up at home.

1.) St. Perfectus
The first martyr of this age was the aptly-named priest Perfectus, who served at the basilica of St Acisclus, just outside the city walls of Cordoba. One day on his way to market he was stopped by a group of Muslims. Seeing that he was a priest, they asked him to explain his faith and to share with them his opinions about Christ and Muhammad. Fearing that he would only provoke his audience, Fr Perfectus declined. But when the Muslims swore to protect him, he proceeded, in - The Christian Fantasy Review >> Taliesin by Stephen Lawhead, a review
Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:36:25 -0500
The Christian Science Fiction/Fantasy Blog Tour this month is asking each of us to review a favorite book. I chose Stephen Lawhead's Taliesin, Book One of his five-book Pendragon Cycle. Unfortunately I no longer have a copy of this book--I am sure I enthusiastically lent it to various people until someone forgot to return it. But I do remember it pretty well I think. - >> Islams 9-11 trophy in Shanksville, Pennsylvania for the victims of Flight 93

Every year, my wife takes the kids away for 2 weeks to her sister?s camp. And every year, I face the same demon named porn who tempts me to masturbation. I met "this guy" back in high-school and I almost went blind. But when I entered the seminary in college, I was able to control it ? even when I came home for break. So, I recalled my regimen then and followed it. And, it has been 10 days and I am still the king of my castle.

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 08:50:00 -0500
Msgr. Pope points out a reason why men delay marriage these days. Watch to find out. However, there may be pathological cases where the men are scared because their mother dominated their dad or was unfaithful.

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 08:07:00 -0500
A relative got addicted to cocaine and got booted out of work. When we saw him, he told us he'd go to rehab clinic for a week and then get back his work. It didn't go that way and in the following months, he exhausted his savings and sold off his house, car, boat and anything that can be sold. We visited him when we he'd let us and talked him out of it. He said he knew his predicament and that he can stop anytime. But he didn't until he hit rock bottom. At that point his - >> Peace, Reconciliation, Healing, Compromise, Sensitivity, Brotherly Love, Tolerance, Acceptance

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:06:00 -0500
The Philippines is like Haiti in the East. But despite widespread poverty, Filipinos have the lowest suicide rate in Asia. Japan, the wealthiest, has the highest. How do Filipinos face their hard lives daily without sinking to despair? Is it with our faith in the crucified incarnate Son of God? I think so.
However, I also think that it has something to do with our sense of humor. Here in the states, you can tell if a group of Asians are Filipinos by laughter. - >> Video: Child developing in womb from day 1. Million + saw it. Beautiful, factual, fair.

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:53:00 -0500
A taxpayer-funded study that indicates parental and adolescent support of abstinence education is not being released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as it does not support the administration?s objective ? or that of vocal ?safe sex? activists ? of eliminating all abstinence-education funding. The study shows that:

Despite the scandals and dissent, the revolts and exodus, internal corruption and external oppositions, the Catholic Church has been founded on rock and "the gates of hell will not prevail against it" - in the US and anywhere. Here is an indication of how the Church is thriving.

The mosque placement is their prerogative - imho.
Wed, 18 Aug 2010 08:46:00 -0500
I think that it is the victims' prerogative to forgive (or not) the Muslims that ended or broke their lives. To forgive in their stead is unconscionable. How dare anyone presume for the dead or bulldoze the survivors into positions. Why not hear them out and for once be respectful and sensitive to their anguish.

The Speaker of the House threatened those who are pushing to find the source of the funds for the proposed mosque at ground Zero. Speaking on San Francisco's KCBS radio, Pelosi said: "There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded," she said.

This is an alleged photograph of the Virgin Mary taken during an apparition in Medjugorje. The photographer (unknown) snapped a picture of the wall where the alleged apparition was taking place, and discovered this picture when it was developed. Ivan Dragicevic, one of the six visionaries, confirmed that this was indeed a picture of the Blessed Mother. However, he added that she was much more beautiful in person.

While vacationing at Myrtle Beach, SC this summer, I got a chance to share my faith a couple of times and I felt that the Lord was pleased that I did not shy away.
I went to this convenience store to get milk and found some porn mags on the rack.

Human fathers give quite an insight on how God is because God revealed Himself to be The Father.
In this video, the son was determined to finish the race despite his torn muscle. See what his father does.
We too have a race to finish - to be faithful to God until the end. If we struggle against all odds to complete the race, then God Himself will come down from the stands and give us that second wind and even carry us through.

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 03:04:00 -0500
Some people make the point that America must forget 9/11 to move on. Move on? To what? To tolerate the Muslim trophy for their win right in the field of blood? To pull out of the wars against terror? Looks like someone is paving the way to spare the terrorists and give them more chances in the future.
My response is that this is one of the American Holocausts that need to be remembered every year just like the Jewish people remember their Holocaust. And in - >> Blog Update

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 02:02:51 -0500
This opening book in the series doesn't have a major resolution, but points to the books that will follow. Eventually I got into this book and did not want to put down--it has plenty of suspenseful moments. My only objection to it is that I found Jason and his brothers' obsession with helping the Lost Ones to be a bit unrealistic. They were risking their lives big time to rescue some people they had never met.

Fri, 21 May 2010 01:12:45 -0500
This book has plenty of "aha" moments in it as the author illustrates Biblical truths and the reader recognizes them. It has action, too, in the climactic battle. Characters are memorable.
This is a short, well-written allegory that will provide plenty of fodder for discussion with non-Christians. --Phyllis Wheeler

What I mean by Moderate Christian Theology
By "moderate Christian theology" I mean the doctrinal views of those who are moderate, relaxed, and open in how they deal with the world, but who take the Christian religion and Christian spirituality seriously. They will have an interest in the Bible, but will not be dogmatic and will also be interested in interfaith dialog and will not pressure their neighbors. Their primary form of witness is by their life, but they do not hide the fact that they are Christians. They let their light shine through deeds first, then words, and even through signs.
