The biggest Family Business of all: “God, Spirit, & Son”.
We used to see many signs on businesses like “John Smith & Son, Tailors“, or “Bob Jones & Sons, Realtors“, or “Paul Hankovich & Brother Hardware Store”. Such names celebrate family businesses that continue more than a generation. In every age, such family businesses are an earthly reflection of the biggest Family Business of all: […]
“I don’t want to be a Christian. Leave me alone.”
Billions of people have said, “I don’t want to be a Christian. Leave me alone.” Some have been told that rejecting Christ may keep their souls from getting into Heaven. “Well, if Heaven is that picky, maybe I don’t want to be there.” Similarly, billions of Christians have been encouraged to explore Catholicism and replied: […]
Leading to Catholicism.
After a year of dealing with many different Protestants on various theological items, some things become apparent. 1. Protestants are usually familiar with some of the 300 prophecies that God provided the prophets about Jesus. They realize that such prophecies could not have been the result of accident. Many say, with enthusiasm, “I believe in […]
Letter #16 from a Protestant minister:
You may remember that Pastor Pitstop first believed there were Three Necessary Sacraments, Baptism, Marriage, and Friendliness. Then, he realized that it was not “Friendliness” but “Cleanliness” that is next to Godliness.” Now, he is deciding if Cleanliness is a necessary Fourth Sacrament. He describes the theological concerns involved. Dear Catholic Fundamentalism: I have to […]
Letter #13 from a Protestant minister:
Pastor Pitstop had a close call! He was nearly fired for violating the policy of The Second Independent United Reform Padded-Pew Perkmistianist Church of North America. He’d invested his church’s entire Roofing Fund in a fly-by-night evangelical program without Board approval. But, Pastor Pitstop was the only Protestant minister in North America who defended the […]
The Salt to Meat Ratio is a number that lets us know if we are “Catholics” or “flavorless”.
Human Reality has two components. There is the perpetually outnumbered Roman Catholic Church, The Body of Christ on Earth. Outside of, and often opposed to, The Church are the teeming masses of lost, loveless souls mired in Conventional Reality. Its scowling hordes sneer at The Church. It is clear that Jesus has divided humanity into […]
Is it wrong to print more money than ever?
Government printing presses are running all over the world. Japan, the United States, and many European nations are printing money as fast as they can. Doomsayers are predicting collapse, telling us that “Things could get very bad.” Still, stock markets are up, housing values firm and rising, interest rates are low, commodity prices are in […]
Letter #12 from a Protestant Minister:
Pastor Travis Pitstop thought he was going to be fired. As you may remember, Pastor Pitstop had “invested” his Padded-Pew Perkmistianist Church’s entire Roofing Fund in a scam invented by that notorious Reverend, Donnie Brooke. Reverend Brooke claimed to have heard a “call” to evangelize wealthy Recreational Vehicle owners. He had talked Pastor Pitstop into […]
We winnow. God winnows. Be very afraid.
Winnowing. The grain is taken to the barn, and broken apart by a wheel. Then, it is thrown up into the air. The wind blows the chaff, the useless material around the grain, away from the wheat. The wheat falls to the ground, to be put to good use. The chaff is blown away. We, […]
Letter #9 from a Protestant minister:
Pastor Pitstop is increasingly concerned, and upset, about how rich he believes the Catholic Church to be. He has some suggestions on how The Church could make the world a better place. His suggestions, while allowing him some personal gain, are certainly not made for that reason. No, he has the betterment of the world […]
