Peter and The Keys

Happy in Heaven If Loved Ones Not There?
By Bill Dunn
The Bible is very clear that Heaven is wonderful. Scripture says that once people are in Heaven, the Lord “will wipe ever tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away” (Rev. 21:4).

Standing up for Truth
By Lori Conklin
I remember a few years back our district rolled out their new comprehensive math curriculum, our daughter was in second grade. We were amazed by the way the new curriculum was written.

Same Sex Marriage and the Church, Is It Time for Change?
Same Sex Marriage and the Church, Is It Time for Change?
By Lorrie McNickle
We look the other way when it comes to a multitude of things: contraception, sex before marriage, gluttony for the material things in life, and lust for Earthly pleasures.

What do Protestants believe about Baptism?
What do Protestants believe about Baptism?
By De Maria
Now, if it were true that Scripture was crystal clear and easy to understand, then they would be able to agree upon the nature of Baptism.

When I became a Catholic in 1996, the Boston Globe had begun its several year series on priestly abuse in the Catholic Church for which the newspaper would win a Pulitzer Prize.

The Eyes of a Convert
By Janice Bostic
As a reasonably newly minted Catholic, I suppose one could accuse me of being in the honeymoon phase of my faith. Perhaps that’s true. There’s no zealot like a convert, right?

Out of the Mouths of Babes: "My Mommy said to say, ‘Thank you.'"
By Bobbie Ann Taylor
When our children were young and my husband was the only one earning a fulltime income, our kindergarten-aged daughter was eligible for a reduced lunch. To say we penny-pinched was no exaggeration. Every penny was accounted for. Period. If I bought myself a pack of gum (which I chewed a lot of then), I felt guilty.
