Can a Christian be a teetotaler? completely abstaining from all alcoholic beverages including communion wine?
I can understand a former alcoholic being weary of wine in communion but exposure to a tiny sip ought not cause a relapse into heavy drinking. And I can understand some folk objecting...
Power can be generated by big power plants or by tiny ones. Solar power is on the tiny side of the equation. Some recent developments appear to be moving to whole-of-roof solar cells that will more than cover the energy needs of the family resident under the roof. But there's a snag. What will...
Okay, some folk have doubts about the truth of the doctrine of the holy Trinity. What do we do? Browbeat them into submission (probably resentful submission)? Patiently teach them the truth (what we think is the truth anyway)? Discuss their doubts? Have a debate? What?

I was looking at some pictures of Belgium, Holland, northern France, and Denmark in winter and late autumn and it looks very bleak. Cloudy gray skies, rain, sleet, leafless trees, snow, cold winds ...
Makes me glad of Australian winter where it is sunny most days :)
Sunrise, Perth in winter.
I watched a film called The Nun's Story in which Audry Hepburn plays the role of a young lady entering the discipline of becoming and then living as a nun. It looked like a difficult path to walk in life. Holy indeed, full of prayer and love for God yet hard because of separations and a call to...
Matthew 12:30-33 [30] Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters. [31] For this reason, I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. [32] And anyone who will have spoken a word...
