*director’s voice off-stage* Ok, roll the tired ol’ soft drink commercial followed by the Rodney King mantra of man-love. “…I’d like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony… Can’t we all just get along?” John Thavis of Catholic News Service brings us this sad story: This year’s meditation for Pope Benedict XVI’s Good Friday Way […]

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. (1 John 2:19, KJV) It’s Way Past Time To Look At The […]

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery… You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from Him Who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. (Galatians 5:1, 7-9, ESV) Filed Under: Just How […]
