Party On! Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2019

We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

Hey, Wait A Minute.

What then does the Bible teaches concerning the coming of the Antichrist and the system that shall be in place during his rule and reign over the nations.  To answer these question one must refer to the Bible making sure all the biblical references be contextual and accurately used

No, the reading that is crucial to an understanding of ...read more
