The Hidden Grace That Transfigures All Things

Last updated on: August 6, 2026 at 2:02 am By Henry Karlson

When Jesus went up Mt. Tabor, taking Peter, James, and John with him, he revealed to them something rather amazing: He showed them what has been labeled the “light of Tabor,” the light which represented his true glory, the glory of the kingdom of God. That glory, while it is his, and his from all eternity, is something which he intends to share with all creation: And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his... Read more

We Can Repent Up To The Last Moment Of Our Lives

Last updated on: August 6, 2026 at 11:25 am By Henry Karlson

Sin’s power over us lies in the way it entices us with some good, but it does so in a way which it has us use and abuse the good, using the good contrary to the greater good, so that, we can desire some particular good, but we desire and use that good in a way it is not meant to be engaged. That is, sin has us see some good, become attached to that good, to desire that good,... Read more

The Shared Struggle Against Antisemitism And Islamophobia

Last updated on: August 3, 2026 at 1:07 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

I have written many times against antisemitism and Islamophobia, explaining why both of them must be rejected – not only by secular society, but by Christians. Often, the arguments used to promote antisemitism or Islamophobia are the same, or similar, with the only difference being the object of derision. Someone, a Jew or a Muslim, will do something bad, and what they do will be falsely claimed to be done by them as a representing the normative beliefs and practices... Read more

Living As Fools For Christ In A Foolish Society

Last updated on: August 2, 2026 at 2:05 am By Henry Karlson

Paul was often questioned by many of his fellow Christians, not just those who preceded him in the faith, but even by some of those who he had once evangelized. He could be controversial, but what he said and did was all for the sake of the Gospel. He pushed boundaries, leading some to be confused, as he repudiated both legalism and antinomianism, and the ideologies which developed from either of those two perspectives. Christians were set free in Christ,... Read more

Lessons From Lot: Welcoming Strangers And Upholding Justice

Last updated on: July 30, 2026 at 1:13 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Lot, we are told, was saved because of the way he looked after and respected the dignity of others, that is, the way he took care of strangers. Sodom and Gomorrah were haughty cities, selfish and self-seeking, thinking out of pride that they were so great, they were free from any moral obligation, especially those obligations which told them they should take care of and help those they viewed as their inferiors. All this did was set up the conditions... Read more

Being Peacemakers, Living As Children of God

Last updated on: July 28, 2026 at 9:46 pm By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Christ is the prince of peace; he blesses those who are peacemakers, that is, those who follow him with the desire to bring a just peace into the world. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matt. 5:9 RSV). They will be called sons of God, or children of God, because of their unity with Christ and his work. For, in the incarnation, we see the kingdom of God breaking into the world, and those...

Hypocrisy In The Hierarchy: When Bishops Fail Their Flock

Last updated on: July 27, 2026 at 1:49 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Saint Isidore of Seville is a rather interesting figure in Christian history; at a time when classical civilization was in decline, he tried to preserve what he learned from it in his Etymologiae, a work which gave his own understanding not only of the origins of words, but an encyclopedia-like examination of the subjects he chose to write upon. It provided many of his readers knowledge which they would not otherwise have had. Similarly, he wrote the Sententiae (opinions or... Read more

Walking On Water: Lessons In Faith And Focus

Last updated on: July 26, 2026 at 1:08 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

We can get so caught up in the moment, we lose ourselves in it. This can be a good thing because when this happens, we are no longer focused on ourselves, and all the hopes and fears our self-attachment brings to us. For, when we are so focused on ourselves, we fail to look beyond ourselves, we fail to carefully see what is happening around us, leading us to ignore those who are in need of some help which we...

Wisdom In Pursuing The Well-Being Of All

We should act in and with wisdom. We should not only seek after that which is good, that which is true, that which is beautiful, for ourselves; we must act and promote them for everyone. When we seek for and promote the good for all, and not just ourselves, we will still benefit from it, because we are a part of that “all.” What we should not be is selfish or self-centered, seeking after ourselves and our private wants and...

The Danger Of Defining Human Value By Material Wealth

When Jesus proclaimed his woe to the rich, he was warning them how they will end up hurting themselves in their pursuit of their greed. They became slaves to that which they claim to control, the goods of the earth, be it money, or something else which they (and society) value as wealth (such as gold). They are willing to do “whatever it takes,” to gain the wealth of the world, which means, they are willing to sell out their soul... Read more
