    Elijah's Question For Pagan America

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 24, 2021
     | 2,382 views

    Just as the prophet Elijah challenged the people of Israel to make up their minds as whether to serve God or Ba'al, the same question needs to be brought before America today. The time has come to settle the issue and accept the consequences.

    This nation is at the cliff, and all it will take is one more step to go over and regulate America to the dustbin of history. For almost sixty years since prayer and Bible reading were thrown out of the public schools by a poor interpretation of the First Amendment by a liberal Supreme Court and ...read more

    Fed up with the leadership of their shepherd, a flock of sheep seek to go it alone.

    I used to work as a tour guide in a Scottish castle, so I was used to telling this kind of anecdote. See if you can recognise this one. It is not about Scottish clans and lands. It comes from the Bible.

    A GOOD WIFE AND A MEAN-SPIRITED HUSBAND. This is a true story concerning a wise woman, a foolish chieftain, and a band of outlaws. The leader of the outlaws was an honourable man who, like Robin Hood in England, had unjustly fallen into disfavour with the ruler of the land. Whereas Robin Hood ...read more

    Many gifts but only One Source.

    Saturday of 22nd Week in Course When somebody asks me how I am, I almost always answer, “grateful.” One of the big reasons I do that is what St. Paul teaches in our epistle today: “What do you have that you did not receive?” I know that any talent or other asset I have is a divine gift.
