I recently had occasion to speak with a licensed psychiatrist through my work on the Kentucky Citizen Foster Care Review Board. Several psychiatric test methods were briefly discussed, one of them being the Meyers-Briggs Personality Test. I learned about this test in a biblical counseling course...

“Founded in 1975, the Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC) is a grass-roots driven movement that promotes activism, dialogue, and prayerful witness to call for women’s ordination and gender equity in the Roman Catholic Church.” This is a music video the WOC produced for the cause. The lyric...

I’ve run across them. You’ve run across them. They might even, at times, be us. Who are they? Christians who aren’t acting Christlike in the conduct of their conversation. Why does it happen? There are several potential reasons but the one that I would like to focus on is instruction. No one...

Mr. Butker is a Catholic. He delivered the commencement address this year at Benedictine College, a Catholic institution of higher learning. A Catholic to Catholic delivery. He’s taking a lot of heat for the content of his speech. I wanted to find out why. I’m not a Catholic, but I watched...

“The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith will publish its new norms for the discernment of apparitions and other supernatural phenomena May 17, the Vatican press office said. Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, prefect of the dicastery, and Msgr. Armando Matteo, secretary of the doctrinal...

My God is only one -> Yahweh, the God and Father of Jesus Messiah. That will come as no surprise to anyone who has read my posts on the subject. I came across a Christian yesterday who stated that God is probably more than three. No explanation for the belief was presented. This is a highly...

I saw this question posed on my X / Twitter feed and thought it was interesting. https://x.com/revivedthoughts/status/1788920944112914934?s=61 Why did he ask? ”I was listening to In Christ Alone when I thought to ask this question.” The day approaches. Plan for it, or someone else will. I...

My X / Twitter feed strikes again this morning. Some years ago I was delivering a sermon when someone asked a question about the cross. The person who asked said they had seen the initials I.N.R.I. written across the top of a cross that was on display in a church they had visited and didn’t know...

I’ve not heard of this prayer before. It came up on my X / Twitter feed this morning. I asked my wife, who was raised Catholic, about it and she said she also had never heard of it. ”O Holy Angel St. Uriel, whose name means ‘God is my Light’ We pray that you will guide our thoughts and actions...

“1. Clarity. … 2. Brevity. … 3. Intentionality. … 4. Repeatability. … 5. Posterity. …” (Pastor Brad Whitt, Abilene Baptist Church, Augusta, Georgia) https://x.com/drbradwhitt/status/1787456826612543959?s=61 All good reasons. I didn’t manuscript my sermons, except for those which I delivered...

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/03/29/a-proclamation-on-transgender-day-of-visibility-2024/ The president of the United States has made his proclamation. Do with it what you think best. The one true God has also made his proclamation. Do with it what you...

“VATICAN: #PopeFrancis’ meditations for the Stations of the Cross have been released. In a peculiar move, he skips the normal 9th station & invents a new 11th station of ‘Jesus‘ cry of abandonment.’ The 9th station is traditionally ‘Jesus falls the 3rd time.’”...

‘Tis the season and Catholic tweets, which I welcome, are showing up in droves on my X timeline. This one in particular, posted by Fr. Chris Vorderbruggen, captured my attention this evening. “Our Baptismal Promises V. Do you reject Satan? R. I do. V. And all of his works? R. I do. V. And all...

I’ve heard of this document but hadn’t gotten around to reading it until this evening. Catholic members of the board may be familiar with it but I doubt that very many non-Catholics are. For those who are, or might be, interested in reading and discussing it: ”A TRUE LETTER OF OUR SAVIOR JESUS...

Today is acknowledged by many Christians as Saint Joseph’s Day. It’s a day solemnly observed by the majority of persons living in my local area, including family members on my wife’s side of the family. For those members (and readers) of the forum who believe that God himself entered into the...

“When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant groups Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of ‘bringing red cows’ to the Holy...

I don’t think many, if any, would challenge the assertion that Jesus prayed for his followers during the time frame of his earthly ministry. “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.” -...

“Preaching is not something that happens after the worship. Preaching is worship.” - Pastor Josh Buice Do you agree or disagree with his assertion?

https://novena.cardinalburke.com/#watch-the-video I’m not an expert on the subject but I‘m aware of what a novena is. (Others might benefit by having a Catholic member of the Board explain it.) My questions about it for Catholic members of the Board: 1. Will you be signing up for it? If not...
