    ADVENT 2018

    I got my Advent Devotional book in the mail a few weeks before Halloween ! and it is not even THANKSGIVING yet, although it is only 2 weeks away. Advent Starts on December 2 this year. For those who want an advent devotional, there are many online. I am more of a traditionalist, I like to...

    Should Christians practice the holidys of Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas?

    Halloween is not Christian but neither are the trinity of holidays mentioned every last one has Pagan Roots and in some cases steeped in human sacrifices and we are told by God to avoid the strange practices not of His will. Just because you Christianize a day and slap pretty makeup on the pig...

    Mirrors on the moon

    Now that I have your attention... No really....tell me what you think about this. According to Michael Rood, the fact that mirrors have been put on the moon and scientists were able to aim lasers at them, enabling them to calculate the moon's orbits with incredible precision, we can now know...

    Does this offend you?

    It's a christmas sweater (??) depicting the last supper with superimposed emojis and a Happy Birthday message. There is a picture (below) of the PM of Canada wearing it and I can't tell if I should be more offended as a Christian or embarrassed as a Canadian?

    Baptized December 11, dealing with depression. Thinking about suicide

    Hi, There is no easy way to say this. I am a sinner. I was a horrible sinner. I abused the love of those around me, I did whatever I wanted while believing that life was meaningless. I have always hated the fact of my existence and could never understand why God would put me here in such a...

    Three Christmas Poems

    Cool cat sat on cold snow. Coal black cat, Cheshire Cat grin, Looking up to see within. White flakes floating down carpeting, covering all around. Snow can cover such a multitude of sins. Cool cat sat on the white mat, Softly he began to hum a song. He though of his lost love long gone Over...

    Curiosity about the Birth of Jesus and Mary's life in particular

    I have been wondering about this, but what role does Mary actually play as far as Christmas goes? Hear me out, Christmas has become more or less too secular and even though it is about the Birth of Christ, and even though Mary was the young woman who was highly favored and impregnated by the...

    The Affair We Have With Christmas

    God is jealous and commands our complete undivided worship. Worship’s very meaning is basically leaving Self out – in our devotion to Him. This is where you have the woman emptying out the very expensive perfume (her life savings) to use it upon Jesus; Matt 26:7. When Abraham went to the...

    Leaving on my Winter Break

    I have decided to leave now, as I don't want to think about this in the morning. I had already planned on taking a break during Advent, but due to recent events I have decided to take my break now. I really feel betrayed by recent events, not as bad as what happened on Catholic Answers Forums...

Regarding the Three Kings/Wisemen? Is such a deviation by Protestants harmless?" I am about find out if I messed up as I need to...

    Meditation on the Magnificat and Nativity

    Hey folks. I was praying Vespers tonight and meditating on an Icon of the nativity and had some thoughts. I wrote them up and figured I'd share here. I pray some of you find it edifying, and if you find it heretical, let me know so I can be corrected of my errors! An Iconic Meditation on the...

    Epiphany: Should Christmas decorations come down on 6 January?

    Link: www.bbc.com/news/uk-38527942 Just to add a little bit to the article: I think Candlemas (Aka the The Feast of the Presentation), which is on Feburary 2nd, should be included in these types of discussions. It was a huge holiday in the middle ages, and though it is long beyond the...
