Day 166 – Why you should care about speaking in tongues!
Day 166 – Why you should care about speaking in tongues!
By David Vermont
Chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians is one of my most favorite chapters in the Bible. On the surface, it is a boring list of rules for speaking in tongues in the infant Church. This phenomenon is not something that happens as often these days. Most of us have never heard of anyone speaking in tongues, so why should we care?

We Have a Need to Worship
We Have a Need to Worship
By Bill Dunn
In the Old Testament, God’s Chosen People often got in trouble with the Lord. The problem wasn’t that they neglected worshipping God, but that they worshipped other gods at the same time.

Are You a Potato or an Egg?
Are You a Potato or an Egg?
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Under the fiery anguish of trial and tribulation, some people are hardened and embittered against the God who allows them to suffer, while in similar situations others are softened into a "thy-will-be-done" loving embrace of his wisdom and providence. Some become "hard-boiled eggs"; others become "baked potatoes."

Day 165 – The Greatest of These is Love
Day 165 – The Greatest of These is Love
By David Vermont
How many weddings have we been to when we heard the passages of 1 Corinthians 13? At every wedding, we hear, “Love is patient, love is kind…”, but let’s consider what it means theologically.

Something that will ROCK your Parish!
Something that will ROCK your Parish!
By Greg Schlueter
A trademark of growing parish communities is the prevalence of faith-sharing groups. While it's wonderful some are engaged in such groups, most are not.

Here's Lookin' at You
Here's Lookin' at You
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Our best technology is nothing compared to the marvels of "God's hidden camera"; "The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good" (Prv 15:3). "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is...laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account (Heb 4:13).

Day 164 – The Body of Christ
Day 164 – The Body of Christ
By David Vermont
There are many divisions in the Church at Corinth. Paul started this letter speaking about how some claimed their faith was superior because of the gravitas of the person who baptized them. Yesterday we read about divisions within the way the service, the remembrance of the Last Supper, was being conducted.

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God
By Scott Pauline
In the first essays on the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God must have an Old Testament to prepare for the Incarnation in any fallen world, and that such OT consists of two preliminary, preeminent phases of sin and chastisement for all of humanity, then the formation of Prefiguring Covenant, God espousing Himself to a little “underdog” amongst the many to be His special “People”,

Swimming Forbidden..."
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
English-speaking travelers abroad are often amused by signs in fractured English - like a sign by a swimming pool at a French Rivera hotel: "Swimming forbidden in the absence of the savior."

Day 163 – Factions Among You
Day 163 – Factions Among You
By David Vermont
Today, Paul addresses additional problems in the Corinthian community. One of them is disunity that had grown up at services. It seems that services have become sort of a dinner party. Some people are treating it more like a social event than a service. Paul tells them that this should stop and address the Eucharist directly

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part II: the Preeminent Ages
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part II: the Preeminent Ages
By Scott Pauline
From the Part I of the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God can in no wise send the Incarnation immediately into a fallen world but must first have, at the least, a Covenant of pictures, types, that foreshadow the things that really matter. Now, we will ask, can God even commence the Prefiguring Covenant immediately after the presumed fall of the creatures?

What to Do with a Dead Soldier
What to Do with a Dead Soldier
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
Dead soldiers are annoying, especially if you're in a hurry. A "dead soldier," of course, is a colloquialism for a speed bump - an asphalt mound across a road where drivers are tempted to drive too fast. In school zones, "dead soldiers" keep kids alive.

Apostolic Succestion and the Arian Controversy
Apostolic Succestion and the Arian Controversy
By William Hemsworth
To those who study Church history the Arians are a familiar foe of orthodoxy. The heresy came to the forefront in the 4th century, and was declared heretical at the Council of Nicea in 325 and again at the Council of Constantinople in 381. How was the proper view of Christ upheld?

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part I: the Prefiguring Covenant
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part I: the Prefiguring Covenant
By Scott Pauline
In the Introduction to the Abstract Fallen World, we saw that the material creation proves the most complex and wonderful, in that, if it falls, an Incarnation introduces the possibility of God loving the creatures to a greater degree than if the world had never fallen, namely that God might suffer for His creatures and forgive them.

"But It Looked So Harmless...!"
"But It Looked So Harmless...!"
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
The spiritual dangers that surround us are far more serious than bodily ones, for "what good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" (Mt 16:26).

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Introduction
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Introduction
By Scott Pauline
To recap from the introduction to the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we reiterate more precisely, the theory to this entire book is that there is a spiritual blueprint for the ages of salvation history if God is to redeem man to his fullest potential before the end of history.

Free Choice: To the Church or the Gallows
Free Choice: To the Church or the Gallows
By Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F
The most incredible law that was ever established in the United States was one enacted by the state of Virginia in 1610; it prescribed not jail, but the death penalty for any healthy adult failing to attend church for three consecutive Sundays!
