So you’re a Christian

Monsignor — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:58:27 +0000

I am sorely tempted to add a sub-heading to this post that reads “…who cares?”

In the last few weeks, whilst doing some research on the Net, I have come across an incredible number of submissions from people claiming to be Christians, arguing over their Christianity with [apparent] non believers, and even with other Christians. This behaviour [...]

Believing is seeing

Monsignor — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 04:29:06 +0000

The more I think about a life led by belief in an invisible God, the more ridiculous the whole concept seems. Many people have reportedly staked their lives for God, martyrs for a cause built upon a distinct lack of concrete, if not at least credible, evidence. This is not exclusive to followers of God [...]

Homosexuality in da house

Monsignor — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:16:17 +0000

I have thought long and hard about the question of homosexuality and for the most part have avoided it in discussions. I avoided it because I did not really understand how I felt about the subject. However, I read some information today on the Internet about a Christian church movement in the town that [...]

In Philip Yancey’s book The Jesus I Never Knew he discusses the Ascension of Christ. Philip notes that this event inspired the coining of the latin phrase - deus absconditus (hidden, or concealed, god).

What excited me most about Philip’s explorations of this historically significant event was the [seemingly, with hindsight] obvious conclusion he arrived at; God [...]

When push comes to shove

Monsignor — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 05:41:22 +0000

There are many circumstances we can find ourselves in that test our integrity. Many people I have spoken to agree that they never really know how they will respond in a given situation, until they are actually in it.

Well, today my 12 year old son and his friend (also 12) were robbed on their way [...]

Angry God

God is capable of great anger and great mercy…but mostly great anger.

Homer Simpson

I don’t agree.

How great thou art.

Monsignor — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:28:07 +0000

I climbed into bed this evening and for some strange reason began thinking about a hymn Elvis Presley sang in the late 1960’s entitled “How Great Thou Art” (originally written by Carl Boberg); it was on one of his albums my parents were fond of listening to when I was a boy .

I always thought that song [...]
