    The myth that everyone goes to heaven has gained many followers even in the church.

    All Dogs Go to Heaven Debuking the myths of Christianity Luke 16:19-31 There is a growing belief in the church that somehow some way all people wind up in heaven.

    How can we hate our parents, partners and children? It has to be the most offensive exhortation Jesus ever gave - telling us that we have to hate the ones we love th most.

    As soon as I noticed that our Gospel reading today was the one that begins by telling us that we’ve got to ’hate our mothers and fathers’, I decided then and there to give my sermon today on Paul’s Letter to Philemon! No, as much as I’d like to do that, I feel I have to stick with "hate your ...read more
