And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of […]

My sister says it does not matter
The comic above points out the hypocrisy that is present in our politics, regardless of your party affiliation. If you look at the comic above, Gov. Sarah Palin was Republican-approved, Democrat-opposed. Caroline Kennedy is Democrat-approved, Republican-opposed. Neither party is willing to find anything good in the candidate of the other side, regardless of their qualifications. […]
What priests sometimes wish they could do
Mind, you, sometimes as a priest, there are some people that I think would really find it helpful and useful to have that happen to them. And, no, no, no, I do not believe in this type of penance. But, just sometimes there are people who could stand to be wrapped in chains like Marley […]
Good reply!
I should have known better than to try to start a serious blogging series heading right into Christmas. Somehow, I either forgot, or my memory blessedly blocked out, how busy a pastor gets right before one of the two major holidays. Meantime, here is another cartoon for you to think about. In passing, for those […]

Ephesians 2:19-22 – “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the […]
Brandon Milan – I think my wife is a Calvinist.
My kudos to iMonk for a lead to this fine bit of humor. I am nearly done with the Christmas bulletin, so I should soon be able to get back to more serious blogging, although who knows. The song author’s blog post containing this song is found here.
Inconsistency in arguing against Roman Catholics
Well, another quick one from the road. On a recent post, the following interesting statement was made, “Their thoughts, excuses, rationales, theological bull******** [Ed. note – yes I censored the word, not the original author] – I can’t share the grace of a saint’s life, why should I bear the guilt of some dead sinners?” […]
For you Martin Luther fans
Hey all, Sorry but I am still traveling. This is for you Martin Luther fans. Enjoy!
Infallible and Imperfect, you have got to be kidding!
You will say to me, “Infallible and imperfect, you have to be kidding!” Is it not a contradiction to say that the Church is imperfect and infallible? Well, not necessarily, but, let’s back up a minute an approach the subject from different direction. I will argue that all of Christianity is actually aware that something […]
