https://regenamex.com/7ucom1e8 I can remember that when our children were young, there was a big debate in Evangelical circles as to whether you ought to say anything to your children about Santa Claus. The Easter Bunny was very clearly a no, no. The Tooth Fairy usually did not come under as much fire, but that is because […]
https://baixacultura.org/2025/02/01/y0dor5h5 Hamlet to Ophelia: Get thee to a nunnery, why woulds’t thou be a breeder of sinners? Men might well dread, and very reasonably, This life on earth to lose, my own dear brother, If this alone were living, and no other. “But there’s a better life in other place, That never shall be lost, nay, […]

Why is it that the ruder a Christian is, the more that they are likely to insist that they are simply “speaking the truth in love?” Contrast the modern American attitude with that of the Early Church Fathers. What was the Early Church Fathers’ attitude towards speaking the truth in love, towards what we would […]
Pope Benedict XVI says the Church’s child abuse scandal shows that the greatest threat to Catholicism comes from “sin within” the Church. Today we see in a truly terrifying way that the greatest persecution of the Church does not come from outside enemies, but is born of sin within the Church. . . — Pope […]
Keith Green was one of my favorite Christian artists. I was a young Jesus People believer. He, Second Chapter of Acts, and other groups of that type formed my early Christianity, in worship and in outlook. I still remembered how crushed I felt when he died in a plane crash. I know that there were […]
No, this is not one of those syrupy posts about learning from other cultures. But, it is a reminiscence of an encounter I had with an older Quechua man up in the Andes mountains. For those of you who are not aware, my wife and I were missionaries in the southern part of Perú in […]
One of the interesting things about the English is that one never knows what interesting bits of eccentricity one will run across. The photograph at the right is actually from one of the BBC sites. It is the lead for a television show called, How To Live A Simple Life. Unfortunately, you cannot watch this […]
