“Recovering” – The Price of a Book from KJV Churches Read part 2 It likely seems unfair to the dedicated reader that this author would promise a series of posts dealing with the “Recovering Fundamentalists”, yet after two long articles (read Part 1 here, and Part 2 here), nothing has been said against that movement.  We probably won’t get to them in this post, either, just to give the reader fair warning.  My approach to dealing with problems has always been holistic: it makes no sense to have a gastric bypass…

What the New Testament Says About Satan by Myra Kahn Adams for Town Hall Thanks for joining our study. Today we conclude a two-part series about what the Bible says about Satan in the New Testament.

It Is Much Easier to Condemn Past Generations Than to Judge Our Own by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown It is very easy for us to condemn the moral actions (or, inactions) of past generations. “If only we had been there,” we say to ourselves, “we would never have done what they did.” But are we sure?

The month of May is a perfect time to pray the Rosary against our culture of death by Susan Ciancio and American Life League for Life Site News Pray the Rosary and involve your family. Don’t be embarrassed to pray in front of others or to advocate prayer. “Let’s do the Rosary together. And stay prayed up. You gotta stay prayed up.” Mark Wahlberg posted that message on Instagram a few days ago. Though the phrasing made me chuckle a bit, the sentiment is spot on. Wahlberg, who plays Fr. Stu in the…
