I received a highly thoughtful reply to my post on the withheld wages of workers from Fr. Gregory Jensen, who has his own blog, called Koinonia. And, though he was objecting to some points I made and asking probing questions about others, it was a pleasure to read him because he had gone to the […]
Some insightful quotes on American Christianity
I will be writing on Wisconsin and some objections raised by a fellow priest today or tomorrow. My schedule has been a bit crowded lately. So, let me leave you with two quotes. The two quotes below are from a Southern Baptist pastor named Michael Spencer. He was the original InternetMonk (go to http://www.internetmonk.com). He died […]
The withheld wages cry out to the Lord of hosts
From Saint James 5: Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure […]
Hypatia and one of the reasons we repent during Lent
In Lent, we do not simply concentrate on ourselves. During Lent, we also read the Fathers that we may learn more of the grace of Our God. We read so that we may learn to discipline ourselves and grow in the holiness of Our God. But, if we are fully intending to use Lent as […]
Lack of government involvement means increased deaths
Two stories have been published recently that have to do with government oversight of medical items. The first one began to come out in very early March of this year: It took fast-acting doctors at a Colorado hospital to flag problems with tainted alcohol wipes now tied to a massive recall and growing reports of […]
Modern American thought patterns
Recently there was a news article that garnered some attention because it allowed for much hilarity from late-night comedians. Sadly it was an article summarizing a study that found that people who were regular attenders at church were fatter than others in this already quite fat country: Young, religiously active people are more likely than […]
Pride, Pharisees, and Prostitutes
The other day, I wrote a post about our attitude needing to be that we are the worst of all sinners. Let me follow up on that by commenting on what appears to many to be an oddity in the New Testament. Many have noticed that over and over again, it is the “good” people […]
of whom I am the worst
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe […]
Home robbery of heat pump
Yesterday the heat pump on the exterior of our house was stolen. Since Alabama is in the 80’s, it has not been too bad. However, it has certainly been rather surprising. The worst part is that this type of theft is beginning to grow across the USA. I may try a post later on tonight, […]
Spring and the creativity of God
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. — Luke 12
