Husband: Wow: the Bible tells us men will precede women into heaven! Wife: Oh, and where does it say that? Husband: Revelation 8: 1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

Thank you. Can we explore “Human righteousness has always existed because man is created in God’s image”? As a toddler, Abel would have behaved like any other today. Perhaps his parents taught him how God expected him to behave, or perhaps God impressed upon him what God expected of him, or...

Thank you for continuing the discussion. Clearly, teaching salvation is your passion. You could tell us how that influences your interactions with others. In contrast, some of us are passionate about details, whether it is the many of characteristics of Love Your Neighbor, or the minutiae of...

Thank you for the comments. The necessity of salvation stems from our inherently “flawed” nature. That we are born ”flawed” can be readily seen by spending time with toddlers. They are self-centered, full of selfish desires, and execute behaviors that will yield those desires. In particular...

Welcome! We look forward to your presence in the discussions. Blessings.

Thanks for posting. Would make an interesting intro for a sermon: “. . . . Has Satan snared your soul with strings of sin? Surrender to Jesus . . . . “ Blessings.

Thank You for sharing. The essence of the post seems to be “O woe is me, what an awful life I’ve been subjected to.“ There is not much testimony on efforts to love your neighbor or God. Christianity is about helping others, including sacrificing personal gain and even life. Your retreat to...

Thank you for the post and question. The classic book The Pilgrim’s Progress has narratives for the righteous and the bad, with lessons and consequences for all. Thus, there is already a model for you. So: go for it! Why not hold up a mirror to display the long-term consequences for those...

One wag on X suggested that one of Canada’s MAID doctors be brought in. Somewhere there must be a lawyer who will sue to have her released on the grounds of unconstitutional “cruel & unusual punishment.”

New thread: movie scripts so bizarre one must marvel at the mental state of the writer. Example: movie title: Thank Heaven summary: God is struck in the head by a golf ball while vacationing on earth, causing amnesia. Despite not remembering who he is, he changes the lives of everyone he...

Here is a link to the story. https://catholiconline.news/pro-life/planned-parenthood-honors-joe-biden-with-an-award-for-fighting-to-keep-killing-unborn-babies-legal/ Two of the comments on X deserve special recognition. From Fr. Gabriel Mosher If you’re a Catholic and you get an award from...

Thank for the interesting question. The Babar and Winnie-the-Pooh books We also Loved reading to our children and grandchildren. They (and we) enjoyed authors like Beatrix Potter, Dr. Seuss, Richard Scary, Beverly Cleary, Tolkien. The best Children’s books reinforce parental instruction in...

Is the following a contradiction, or is there a rational argument for understanding the policies? In Canada, the number of people choosing Medical Assisted Dying continues to grow. The person electing to end it all does not need to be suffering continually from pain, but merely have a grievous...

Agreed: God will bring about all He intends. Those who embrace Him as guide and mentor (see the two great Commandments) will surely aid His purposes, but He also has used/will use those who intend evil. He will always prevail. For examples, Genesis 45 and the Book of Esther. Blessings.

Here is what happened recently to one Canadian woman. “This Canadian woman was given MAID as her only choice for stage 4 cancer in Deathcare Canada. She went to the US and death was not the option the doctors there gave her. Canadian healthcare used to be good; it is now in desperate fear of...
