Of which non-English language am I talking?

26 August 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

This non-English language is one of the top five non-English languages used in the USA. I am not talking about any computer languages or mathematical symbology, etc. This non-English language is used by regular people. Use of this language has the full and unequivocal support of the Congress of the United States by members of […]

Self-denial is not for American Christians

24 August 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

As I have been posting on an appealing, engaging Gospel, and going into the subject of self-denial, there have been two other bloggers who have commented on these posts, but have ended up writing their own blog posts that deal with what I consider two other aspects of living the Christian life, and what it […]

Is self-denial really appealing?

23 August 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

I have heard so many Christians say that they desire to know God. The trouble, as I mentioned yesterday, is that we all too often want an easy way out. What we tend to want is something like a “touchy-feely” warm fuzzy (wow, a few more cliches and you will all ask me to stop […]

An appealing, engaging Gospel

22 August 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard someone say that they want to preach an appealing, engaging Gospel? I can remember that type of language being used many years ago. What was meant at that time was that people were reacting against what they saw as the sterile orthodoxy of the 1950’s. This type of thinking is actually […]

Let’s rebuild houses of worship near Ground Zero

21 August 2010 · by  10 Comments

Look at the photograph on the right. It is from New York City in May of 2000. Do you notice a certain building in the background? That building no longer exists. It is one of the towers of the World Trade Center, destroyed on 11 September 2001. But, what about the building in the foreground? […]

Follow up thoughts on it isn’t true just because someone told you so

20 August 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

One person who commented on my post, Something is not true simply because someone said so, wondered about the place of the Holy Spirit in my description of the Early Church Fathers: Would you not say that they relied on the Holy Spirit then, as He did His work in that era, but they did […]

A church near the Oklahoma boming site?

19 August 2010 · by  21 Comments

Father Orthoduck found the interesting cartoon posted above. It is an interesting thought experiment. As you know there has been much argument about building a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City. Few newspapers will report that there have been objections to building a mosque in any of several states. Even fewer will even […]

Something is not true simply because someone said so

18 August 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 12 Comments

Sometimes one reads two totally unrelated posts and it sparks some thinking in one’s mind. This happened to me today. Above is the latest Pithless Thought cartoon. And from another totally unrelated blog and blog post comes the following commentary: The longer I have been a believer in and follower of Jesus, the less I […]

So, maybe the Apostle John did come from a rich family!

17 August 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 16 Comments

Actually there is some good evidence in Scripture, besides the one Scripture that I quoted in the other post that James and John bar Zebedee came from a rich family. In fact, it has been pointed out to me that there are some very good Scriptures that point to Zebedee’s family having some money and […]
