Realities Trump Ideas Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 13, 2016

Ideas disconnected from realities give rise to ineffectual forms of idealism and nominalism, capable at most of classifying and defining, but certainly not calling to action. What calls us to action are realities illuminated by reason.

Get Behind Me, Satan

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 29, 2018

Jesus says that the Son of Man MUST suffer greatly...

24B. Talk about anti-climactic: Peter’s inspired answer that Jesus is “The One,” (the Messiah), through whom God will accomplish all that he promised is followed by the rebuke of, “Get behind me, Satan.” e.g. A married lady went out shopping one day and when she returned home she brought with ...read more

How Is It fair to throw the poor guy out in the street?

Twenty-eighth Sunday in Course 2020 I encountered today’s Gospel for the first time when I was a teenager. I’m sure I’d heard it in Church before, but it was a Scripture course and I wanted to learn as much as I could.

Trust Not In The Words "the Temple Of The Lord" Series

In Jeremiah’s words, there is murder, theft, fornication, perjury and the out-and-out worship of money. But we cannot forget the legal murder sanctioned by the Supreme Court.

Jeremiah 7: 1-15 “The Temple of the Lord. . .” We are encouraged by the Church to listen to the word of the Lord, as much as possible, with ears sensitive to their original meaning. In other words, we listen as the people of Judah, the Jews, would have heard them in the days of Jeremiah. They were ...read more

Did Judas Do Any Good? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 5, 2023

Judas got nothing good–not pleasure or honor or power. He ended up being the only person in the Bible whom God judged as being better off never being born.

Wednesday of Holy Week 2023 It does not seem terribly fair what happened to poor Kerioth-born Judas, as Matthew records it. He sells out Jesus for what in today’s currency would be about $260. Then, seeing Jesus condemned to death, he changes his mind and attempts to return the money to the ...read more
