    Copyism

    Scandinavia is wonderful - they have a registered religion called Copyism (Swedish spelling is kopimism) - in which the central act of worship is file sharing. I believe the religion was started as something of a joke. Somebody applied for registration and because it met all the criteria for...

    The burden you cannot carry

    Art can teach deep truths. One image - the one shown above - teaches us about burdens too weighty to carry. I'll tell you a story. It is from many decades ago.

    Speaking the truth.

    At the last judgement the most terrifying (and the most wonderful) thing that happens is that the truth is spoken. Jesus said "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have...

    Quo Vadis Domine

    Where are you going, Lord? Asked as a rebuke it would be a blasphemy. Asked as a plea to follow it is a humble prayer of the heart. Quo Vadis Domine Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus responded: "Where I am going, you are not able to follow me now. But you shall...

    Morning Prayer

    Hymn Light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky, Heav’n thunders forth its victor cry: The glad earth shouts her triumph high, And groaning hell makes wild reply. While he, the King of sovereign might, Treads down death’s strength in death’s despite, And trampling hell by victor’s right, Brings...

    Pride and prejudice.

    Pride and prejudice go hand in hand. Pride in one's own achievements or in one's station in life and prejudice about others and their lack of apparent achievements or lowly station in life. Theology can create the twin faults of pride and prejudice. Pride about one's achievements and one's...

    What does it mean in practice for a person to believe in God?

    What does it mean in practice for a person to believe in God? The answer is to adhere to God himself, entrusting yourself to God and assenting to all that God reveals because God is Truth. Do you also think it means to believe in one God in three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? I do.

For six days, you shall labour and do all your work. The seventh is the day of the...
