SONG – GOD BLESS AMERICA.
An eerie quiet fell over the battlefield near the French city of Verdun. It was Nov. 11, 1918, and the guns were abruptly silent. Some of the soldiers sank to the ground; others stared into space. Some began to shake. The Great War was finished, but the men could not

GOD'S LOVE IS EVERYTHING
The Pope tells us that "For the Church, instructed by the Gospel, charity is everything because, as Saint John teaches (cf. 1 Jn 4:8, 16) and as I recalled in my first Encyclical Letter, 'God is love'...: everything has its origin in God’s love, everything is shaped by it,

A PROBLEM WORTHY OF GOD
Martin Luther says the fact that a moral and just God can let the guilty go unpunished is "a problem worthy of God." Any judge who sets a guilty person free with no punishment is immoral and unjust. Suppose a Judge has a man before him who is guilty, but has truly had a

THE LOVE FOR GOD'S HOUSE
No wonder the Psalmist longed for God’s House. It is sad that many people, even some who claim to know Christ, take so little interest in His church-—the Church He purchased with His own blood.
Some people only show up on important occasions in life. The only time the

WHAT OTHER GODS?
What other gods could we have besides the Lord? Plenty. For Israel there were the Canaanite Baals, those jolly nature gods whose worship was a rampage of gluttony, drunkenness, and ritual prostitution. For us there are still the great gods Sex, Shekels, and Stomach (an unholy
