    Christian use of art.

    I like stained glass windows and beautiful paintings. Statues can be exquisite works of art too and so can photographs. Throughout history Christians have used art works to depict significant events and themes from the holy scriptures and from the lives of people who left enduring legacies of...

    Being and becoming a saint.

    In the holy scriptures Christians are sometimes called saints. The idea is that they - as Christians - are God's holy people. Separated from worldliness and from the ambitions of the worldly. But there is also another sense in which one may be a saint. One may be a good example to others, holy...

    Where have all the encyclopedias gone?

    Many years ago, in my university days, I bought a set of encyclopaedias and I still have them today. They are handsome volumes and have a lot of helpful information yet new bound printed encyclopaedias are not in book shops anymore. What's happened? Has everything moved to electronic storage? I...

    Words & wisdom

    The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of...

    We have kept the feast.

    Above all else, it is being said that there is fornication among you, even fornication of a such kind that is not among the Gentiles, so that someone would have the wife of his father. And yet you are inflated, and you have not instead been grieved, so that he who has done this thing would be...

    God's Promises

    Paul wrote that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance Romans 11:29 and some people think that this statement means that no calling and no gift from God is ever revoked yet Israel was promised land, some say, and that promise was suspended for a time after the Roman Empire deported...

    Hermeneutic.

    What's the intended hermeneutic in the new testament letters and in the gospels? Is it to teach history and as a byproduct of the history to teach doctrinal and practical truth or is the hermeneutic pastoral with the purpose of strengthening faith, leading the wavering back to faith...

    Your Word is a lamp.

    In one of the psalms it is said of God that his word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path Psalm 119:105. Is this indicating that what God says is intended for personal pastoral direction more than for grand theological constructions?

    A little history from spartacus educational ...

    Spartacus Educational is a kind of Wikipedia like web site that offers essays and articles on various subjects and among the subjects is English history. I looked up Lollard and found this information. In the 14th century a new heresy appeared, inspired by the English priest and theologian John...

    I thought this was interesting.

    I thought this was interesting even if it is fictitious. It is a dramatization of the years of Henry VII (Henry VIII's father) reign over England. It is mainly historical but also mixes in details that are supplied by the script writers. This is the fifth episode. It's about a Lollard who is...

    Being in the world but not of it.

    Jesus spoke of his disciples as being in the world but not of it. His words can be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation is that the faithful in Christ are in the world meaning that they are living in the world and thus need to have interactions with worldly people and governments...

    What about allies? Will the USA keep its promises to help and protect nations that have allied themselves with the USA and spent their money and in some cases the lives of their young people for goals that served both themselves and the interests of the USA? What do you think ought be the stance...

    For the sake of the kingdom.

    In politics it's become common for political parties to act for their own advantage and to gain votes so they can win elections even if such action may harm the nation. Christians despite the admonition of the holy scriptures also engage in politics for their own advantage so that they can gain...

    Using Edge with adblockers.

    I prefer Edge over most other browsers because its implementation of Extensions works far better with YouTube content. When I run YouTube on Edge I see no ads, no annoying content that I didn't ask for, and it runs fast. It also scrolls far more smoothly when using my trackpad than does Chrome...

    Cardinal Gibbons was born in the 19th century and died in the early 20th century but he wrote a book that left an imprint in Catholic and Protestant circles. The Book's title is The Faith of our Fathers. It was first published in 1876 and the last revision was in 1917 (not too long before he...

    What church?

    When Jesus said "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven. And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the...
