    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,909 views

    The individual decisions of Psalm 1, brought up a notch to the corporate level in Psalm 2.

    A COSMIC DECLARATION. Psalm 2. At some point in history, Psalms 1 and 2 were lumped together as one single Psalm. This gives us a hint concerning the unity of the Book of Psalms. In fact, if we step back from disputes concerning human authorship, we will find the whole Bible to be the coherent ...read more

    Could Even Judas Have Been Forgiven? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2025
     | 255 views

    Did Judas have to lose hope? On the third day after Jesus died, when the apostles gathered in the Upper Room, would there have been room for Judas Iscariot? He was, after all, one of the Twelve, chosen by Christ.

     | 1,304 views

    Friday of the Second Week in Course 2025 The Church has no definitive teaching on who wrote the Letter to the Hebrews, but we know that the Holy Spirit inspired the author, and he or she was very familiar with the liturgy of the Jewish Temple, especially the annual Day of Atonement, when the High ...read more
