China Arrested Doctors For Warning About Coronavirus.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 7:13 am By Rebecca Hamilton

China arrested the doctors who tried to warn them about the coronavirus. People in China are being subjected to draconian governmental efforts to stop a virus that the government arrested doctors for identifying and trying to stop early on. People have died because the Chinese government, like all totalitarian states, demands that those in responsibility lie in order to support government-sponsored fantasies. Here, in three news stories, is the tale of one of the Chinese doctors who were arrested... Read more

Pope’s Prayer Intention for Feb: Hear the Cry of Migrants

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 7:36 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Francis’ prayer intention for February is that we “hear the cry of the migrants.” I think it’s important to remember that Scripture calls us to help the migrant throughout the Old Testament. It is a repeated admonition from God. Also, we should remember that the Holy Family themselves had to flee an unjust and murderous government and were themselves migrants. From Vatican News: The full text of Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention: Migrants are often victims of criminal human smuggling and... Read more

The Ladder to Heaven is Easy to Find.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 7:38 am By Rebecca Hamilton

My yoke is light, Jesus tells us. St Paul seemed to interpret that, at least in part, to refer to a lifting of the weight of the law and the beginning of salvation by grace. St Paul had been, in his own words, “a Pharisee’s Pharisee.” He said that he had striven all his life to follow every single rule that constituted the Law of the Old Covenant. He was one of the rule-making class who spun out additional rules... Read more

Pope Francis will decide when to release the McCarrick report. According to the Vatican’s Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the report should be released soon. From Catholic News Agency: Pope Francis will make the final decision on when to publish a highly-anticipated report on former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the Vatican’s Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said Thursday. “I think that [the report] will come out soon, I cannot tell you exactly when,” Parolin told a small group of...

The Gospel Doesn’t Stop at Conversion

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 8:02 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Experience of God teaches that He is love and that He loves us. This comes before doctrine and even explodes a lot of doctrine. Without the love of Christ, doctrine is a yoke and a punishment. It can and often does become cruel, selfish and a method of oppression. Only Christ Himself, the person of Our Lord, gives life and saves us. “The gospel not only saves you, it keeps you. Ain’t that good news.” Read more

Jackie Perry Discusses Conversion, Faith and Sexuality

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 9:24 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I didn’t know anything about Jackie Perry’s life story when I first encountered her Christian rap. I only knew that I was moved by her powerful preaching. This woman can preach, and what she says resonates. In this video Perry discusses her faith journey. I didn’t not know until I saw this that Jackie Perry is a lesbian. She goes into what that means to her as a Christian. Rather than attempt to bend Christianity to her sexual orientation she... Read more

Iowa Vote Still Being Counted.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 9:35 am By Rebecca Hamilton

The vote counting in the Iowa Caucus was a big flop. We still don’t know the outcome. From PBS: Nearly 24 hours after the Iowa caucuses started, the state’s Democratic Party released its first wave of results. The delay came after what’s being described as a coding error with a phone app used by more than 1,700 caucus sites to report results. With 62 percent of precincts reporting, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg — or, I should say,... Read more

Let’s Go Back to Paper Ballots.

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 9:38 am By Rebecca Hamilton

It appears that the Democratic side of the Iowa Caucus belly-flopped yesterday. Instead of seeing the kick-off to the presidential race and learning how our boy or girl ran, We the People woke up this morning to learn that, once again, another America election (a caucus this time) went face-first into the dirt. The solution is obvious. We need to go back to paper ballots. Congress should have passed a federal law mandating paper ballots in all presidential elections, and... Read more
