Analysis of a Conversion, why I left the Catholic Church - I had a dream
Analysis of a Conversion, why I left the Catholic Church - I had a dream
By De Maria
When I was very young, I had a recurring dream. I guess I was around 5 years old when I first remember having the dream. The dream was that I could “fly”. It wasn’t real flight. It was more like the “Flying Nun” type of flight. I had this dream about three years before the show came on the air, so I don’t think the dream was influenced by it.

Contemplating God's Amazing Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness
Contemplating God's Amazing Love, Compassion, and Forgiveness
By Dean P. Johnson
As we are made in God’s image, we are called to do the same. But what does this mean? As a parent, I have been upset with a child, but of course still tend to their needs, their comfort. That’s easy. But what of others outside of our families? Do we have compassion for those who have wronged us? And not just for those who may have wronged us personally, but those who we see on the news

Happiness is what we need
Happiness is what we need
By Tess Shore
It seems as Advent is a time to repent and celebrate the coming of our Christ. However, over the last ten years it has become a time of year I dread. People are cranky. People are fighting with the checkout clerks, that is, if you are lucky to have one. People are fighting over getting the latest toy or electronic. We are complaining about whatever we can find to complain about.

Concerning My Choice
Concerning My Choice
By Helen Losse
So many saints to choose from. So many to consider. Hints around me everywhere. A personal saint lived in a different age, yet is a person with whom you have something in common.

Original Sin And The Need For A Savior
By Alex Brittain
We are now approaching the Christmas season and are in the midst of the Season of Advent in which we celebrate the coming of our Lord on Christmas, and we also anticipate His Second Coming in which He will return to Earth in glory to judge the living and the dead. But, why is this so important for us Christians?

Is "Positivity" Hurting the Pro-Life Cause?
Is "Positivity" Hurting the Pro-Life Cause?
By Therese Zepeda
"The truth will set you free.” These are the words of Jesus, but are some of us afraid of the truth...or at least some truths? Unplanned pregnancy is one of the toughest issues facing us today, but a well-intentioned exclusively positive approach might be detracting from the true and beautiful message of life.

A Vision?
A Vision?
By Victor S E Moubarak
Father Ignatius was busy in his office dealing with some paper work when Eric, a young man in his mid-twenties, came in. “I’ve changed the oil Father and gave the engine a good run. It’s as good as new.”

Romans 10 vs Protestantism
Romans 10 vs Protestantism
By De Maria
Frequently, Protestants will say that Romans 10:4 supports the doctrine of faith alone. However, for anyone who is steeped in the Sacred Traditions of Jesus Christ which are the bedrock of the New Testament, the Teaching of Rom 10 is very clear and it has nothing to do with justification by faith alone.

Man makes plans and God rejoices!
Man makes plans and God rejoices!
By Patrick Stoops
“Man makes plans and God laughs”. I had posted about this on my Facebook page once before and I feel that it bears repeating. I’ve heard this saying many times throughout my life. However, I’ve recently started to become skeptical about this saying.

Find [The Whole] Truth
Find [The Whole] Truth
By Catherine Garrett
For as long back as there is history, we have been warned to watch out for those who lie to us. Christ himself called out the Pharisees as hypocrites and yet praised people like the woman at the well who told the truth.

Peace and Joy Possible in This World, Too
Peace and Joy Possible in This World, Too
By Bill Dunn
Let’s be honest, the primary reason Christianity is so attractive is the promise of eternal life. Jesus said that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will receive everlasting life. What a wonderful offer.

Entering the Virgin's Heart

She was born without hands; her feet made music on harp strings, each toe-pluck sounding with the confidence of a dancer’s pose.

Sola Scriptura - Did Anyone Consider This?
Sola Scriptura - Did Anyone Consider This?
By David R. Myers
Hopefully everyone good enough to read this blog has an idea what “sola scriptura” means. It is the idea that belief should rest on the written text of the Bible alone, and that things which are not mentioned in the Bible should be discarded from belief.

Here is How the Bible PROVES that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant
Here is How the Bible PROVES that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant
By Arnold Scott
Protestants tend to downplay the role of Mary in salvation history, emphasizing that the New Testament does not focus on her too much. Exalted titles for Mary, such as the "Ark of the New Covenant" appear to them as distracting from the centrality of Christ, and probably even blasphemous. But... What if I could PROVE that the BIBLE plainly teaches that Mary is the "Ark of the New Covenant"?

Shattered and Reborn in Christ
Shattered and Reborn in Christ
By Melanie Jean Juneau
God always manages to use those moments when I am shattered to crack my heart and soul open to more of His presence. It is like childbirth; the pain is forgotten when I hold my newborn. However, if there was no pain, no suffering in the first place, there would no baby or new growth in the Spirit. This is the paradox of authentic, Christian suffering as we journey closer to God the Father.

I stopped going to church and joined the Church
By Ross Decker
I follow a page on Facebook which regularly identifies the “Six Things that” bedevil and otherwise hamper Protestant Church leaders. Often those things are lack of giving, hurt feelings, and style of worship. Once, it covered the four comedic rules to becoming a better leader. Recently, one caught my eye.
