    The Truest Meaning Of Christmas

    Contributed by Jerry Stephens on Dec 3, 2014
     | 4,272 views

    At one time or another, most of us have had the experience of being on the outside looking in. More than anything else, for me Christmas is a celebration of inclusion and acceptance and restoration.

    Of all the “true meanings of Christmas,” this is perhaps the truest. When I was a boy, my relatively non-religious family had a Christmas Eve tradition. We’d have a formal, dress-up dinner, and then we’d sit together to talk, tell stories and perhaps read the Christmas ...read more

    The Two Meanings Of "End"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 3, 2013
     | 2,281 views

    There are two meanings to "end," and as we reach the conclusion of a liturgical year, we must plan for both.

    One of the legends circulating that purports to prove the superiority of the new liturgical calendar and new lectionary is that in the Extraordinary Form, we hear Scripture readings that really belong to the beginning of the year, not the end. Let’s be honest. We aren’t talking about ...read more

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 29, 2021
     | 2,124 views

    Our study of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith continues with an examination of the Holy Spirit, Who He is and what He does as presented in the Scriptures.

    We have examined vital Biblical teachings on God the Father, God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and we now come to the Person and work of God the Holy Spirit, no doubt the most neglected and misunderstood member of the Holy Trinity. I say that in light of how the church throughout its history ...read more
