  • Porneia - "It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans" (1 Corinthians 5:1). Chapter 5 begins with a difficult text.

  • The Apparition at Knock Ireland - August 21, 1879 - August 21, 1879 was a rainy day in County Mayo, and particularly in the little village of Knock. The morning had given hope of a fair day; but as the afternoon progressed, the dark rainclouds gathered over the little hamlet. Winds from the east whipped up, darting back and forth, bristling through the meadows and fields. The rains began, and hammered down on the little area. We believe the preparations made in Heaven for this glorious day, 6 days after the Feast of the Assumption, were to give honor and recognition to the faithful children of Ireland.

Why can’t you be near me whenever you want? I am always close to you,” He said.

  • Reluctance and Inadequacy in Coming before God - In the Bible, there were many instances showing man's reluctance to come before God. Such reluctance might have stemmed from man's own inadequacy -- which, paradoxically, is a positive sign of salvation. Only when we become humble, fully aware of our own inadequacy, then we begin to come before God.

When Isaiah was asked to be the messenger of God to his people, Isaiah showed reluctance -- his reluctance was, in fact, his awareness of his own inadequacy. "Then I said, 'Woe is me, for I am ruined!

God is the creator of music, and He is the best musician and singer in the entire universe. The music of God's presence carries the passion of the Bridegroom’s heart for His bride. It is an expression of the ravished heart of God—a manifestation of His intense desire.

I sat in a church for two years and then left one day ina flurru of swear words. If you haven't guessed it already, I had pride issues and still need a bit of counselling to get right down to the bottom of it.

  • How Do You Know that God is Calling You into Ministry? - Well, this is a subject that many of us have or do struggle with. The thing about this, that anyone can tell you that has been in ministry for some years, is that you may ask this question more than once.

  • Pope's Recent Condom Comments Could Fuel HIV/AIDS - The Pope's recent comments on the use of condoms have met with strong opposition from the International Aids Society (IAS). The scientific community has always encouraged the use of protective measures to help prevent the spread of aids. However, during a flight, the Pope commented that the HIV problem cannot be overcome by the distribution of condoms. This is a simple comment, but it comes with grave implications. Apparently, the entire scientific community view this as an irresponsible comment, and has condemned the Pope for making such remarks.

But because the church is the moral linchpin of the greater society the defilement of the church produces the moral decline and eventual destruction of the greater society. This is the issue that has faced humanity since Adam and Eve left the Garden.

He didn't mean that Adam would die before the sun set that particular day.

  • Hello From Austria: A Country Drive And How Determination And Willpower Can Move Mountains (I) - Finally, after the rather rainy day yesterday I opened my curtains to an absolutely gorgeous day today. The lush green Alpine foothills and mountains surrounding Weiz were competing with the brilliant blue sky to catch my attention and naturally I had to get out on the road and explore. I started with a visit to the large pilgrimage church in my home town of Weiz. It is assumed that a church, more specifically a Roman basilica, was located on the hill above Weiz already around the middle of the 11th century. Due to poor lighting conditions inside the church, this building was remodeled several times, until in the mid 1700s a decision was finally made to replace the church with a new building.
