The teens did this skit at our church this morning... with no music at all. It was better than this one. I cried... and so did the biker sitting in front of me.

Having been identified with a susceptibility to impulsive responses in my reactions during mandatory Psych evaluations during school, I found this article inviting when I ran across it yesterday, so, just for kicks, I thought I would share a few paragraphs from the nine page article. (These are...

Ginger Rella posted this on another forum. She used her phone, and it was a little messed-up (as phone posts usually are) So I condensed it for us: Ben Stein — something to think about Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as Holiday Trees for the first time this year which...

This is a small excerpt from a really intriguing book I am reading: It is easy to find much to criticize among the senior clergy of the age, whose appointments often rested on the influence of family, fortune, and power rather than any merit on their own part. In 1451, Duke Amadeus VIII of...

THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT THE PECULAR FORUM ROOM IN WHICH I FIRST POSTED THIS. SO, I AM REPOSTING IT HERE SO THAT IT WILL SHOW UP. Listen to this 2:30 minutes of Greg's opening….. especially the last minute, or so. I don't think anyone has ever told it so accurately or...

Listen to this 2:30 minutes of Greg's opening….. especially the last minute, or so. I don't think anyone has ever told it so truthfully.

Ever wonder how Jews got such a bad reputation among modern" Christians? This might explain part of it. This was the thought spoken from Protestant pulpits in the 1500's: “To demand or receive or even to lend expecting to receive something above the capital is to be guilty of usury; usury may...

A little something for those who might be confused about this "pre" and "post" stuff. An area of interest in Protestant eschatology concerns the details of the end times. Christians have always enjoyed speculating about origins and endings, and it is hardly surprising that this area of...

For those of you who don't speak this language, here it is in English. And another cool Spanish version.

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your azzes and camels, and I will lead You to the Promised Land." Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your azzes, and light up a Camel...

This was too good of a life lesson not to pass on! A carrot, an egg and a cup of coffee... You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again. A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was...

(from a book I mentioned earlier) The Reformation is best conceived as a series of initially independent reforming movements with quite distinct agendas and understandings of the nature of theology and its role in the life of the church. Through the complex networks of the interchange of...

I mentioned earlier that I was really enjoying a new book. Here is its introduction to "Part III." I just loved the degree of detail. The twentieth century witnessed many events in the history of Protestantism — some inspirational, some deeply disturbing, and others merely significant. One...

……. but then my mother gave birth.

… to have discovered a recently written book concerning the development of Protestantism. Here is just a tiny excerpt from that book: THE TRIGGER FOR LUTHER’S REFORM: THE “INDULGENCE” CONTROVERSY The event that is traditionally held to mark the beginning of the European Reformation, and hence...

I just thought some of you might appreciate these words that opened a portion of a new book I am reading. The ability to see beyond the horizon of one’s own location in history is given to few. Who could have imagined, in the gently sunlit heyday of Edwardian England, that the grimmest and...

I got a bit of the usual hateful "Well, then, you aren't a Christian." rhetoric that floats around this forum because I told someone I did not love them. I got to thinking about that, and ran across this: The imprecatory parts of psalms are virtually always found in laments. Psalm 3...
