Catholics and Protestants: What We Can Learn From Each Other
By Peter Kreeft
Ignatius Press, 2017, 204 pages

Peter Kreeft is one of Roman Catholicism’s most prolific apologists. When the new, young pastor of the Southern Baptist church we used to attend cited Kreeft as one of his favorite philosophers from the pulpit a couple of years ago, I knew it was time for us to leave.

In this new book, Kreeft makes an appeal in simple, everyday language to non-academic evangelicals to unite with Rome. In Catholic parlance, “unity” always means returning to the authority of the Vatican and to the Catholic sacraments and liturgical worship.

Right off the bat, Kreeft contends that the Reformation’s main debate over the issue of justification was resolved with the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification between Rome and Lutherans in 1999 so therefore evangelicals have no good reason for remaining outside…

Joy for the Cast-Out

~ Sherry ~ Leave a comment

Sherry's avatarHe Hath Said

Hear the Word of the Lord, ye that tremble at His guard; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for My name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but He shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.-Isaiah 66:5 

Possibly this text may not apply to one in a thousand of the readers of this little book of promises; but the Lord cheers that one in such words as these. Let us pray for all such as are cast out wrongfully born the society which they love. May the Lord appear to their joy!

The text applies to truly gracious men who tremble at the word of the Lord. These were hated of their brethren and at length cast out because of their fidelity and their holiness. This must have been very bitter to them; and all the more so because their casting out…

What’s the Big Deal About Christmas?

~ Sherry ~ 2 Comments

FTA: A positive thought which comes to me as I consider the focus of this movie (Saving Christmas) is that the truth of Christmas’ pagan origins, and the conviction that participating in such rites is contradictory to the will of God, is increasing to such an extent that it has now appeared on the radar of mainline denominational Christianity. It is no small decision for many believers to choose not to participate in Christmas, for it is a cherished holiday, loved as much by the unsaved as it is by those professing to be Christians. That so many are paying the cost of estrangement, reproaches, and being labeled extremist, by family, friends, and neighbors reveals that there remains a remnant who place obedience to God above personal interests.

Keep Yourselves From Idols

Full Heads, Empty Hearts

~ Sherry ~ 10 Comments

A needed exhortation for both those who know God’s Word concerning the observing of pagan/papist/traditions of men and those who don’t know (or don’t care to know).  Prayerfully and humbly watch this video and learn what God would have us to know in our relation to our beloved brethren with the knowledge we have been given:

“He does not know that he does not know” that he is arrogant. This is why we must be prayerful when correcting others. Pray for God’s heart in the matter. We need to be mindful of our attitude-are we arrogant with the knowledge we have? Are we wanting to be right and do we have to get the last word in? Can we say what must be said, using God’s Word and His wisdom of approach, then leave it at that even if they reviled us? Are we willing to be corrected without taking offense? Can we not take offense though our corrector is wrong? Watchmen must be on their knees in prayer at all times that God may be glorified and not ourselves. Once we say what needs to be said, and have lovingly answered questions and have overlooked insults (and there will be those false accusations!) then we leave it with our Lord-its His work, not ours.

CHRISTIANITY: According to me?

If you’ve ever grown squash plants, you may know vividly what happens when squash bugs bore into the root and kill it. Squash plants are only as good as their roots, and that’s why it is important for farmers to know what rots the roots and what nourishes the roots of plants.  Or eventually the squash bugs will be around to help finish off the rotten root, because “it’s what they do”.

Is it possible that what is rotting America’s roots today is a new version of Christianity? A version according to us rather than GOD?

I recently heard a rant on social media. This person claimed to be a “Christian” and spent time explaining (in their words): “what Christianity “means to me“.

This individual on social media defined Christianity as being about:

  1. Having a “heart for GOD”; they explained one’s actions are unrelated to one’s heart

Principles From Pilate’s Life

~ Sherry ~ 2 Comments

From the post, “Christmas-Perpetuating the Lie”:

We as human beings are very influenced by our peers. Christmas has been one of those issues for me. I feel it’s time to share, with those who would be interested to hear, why I do not celebrate Christmas. Maybe a better way of saying it would be why I try not to celebrate Christmas. It seems to me that there is something supernatural “surrounding” the celebration of Christmas, because the pull to conform is incredible. This is what the Lord has shown me:…

There are certain principles to be gleaned from the life of Pilate. Years ago as I was seeking the Lord about celebrating Christmas I was led to study the following. I believe the principles apply. There are many reasons why we don’t do what we know to be right. The following excerpts are from the study notes of the New Life Application Bible:

“For Pilate there was never a doubt about Jesus’ innocence.

Pilate went against what he knew was right.

Pilate chose the easier path rather than standing up against the crowd.

Pilate’s greatest sin was compromising what he knew to be true and right for the sake of position, status, and personal gain.

Pilate had no good excuse to condemn Jesus, but he was afraid of the mob.

In making no decision, Pilate made the decision to let the crowds crucify Jesus. Although he washed his hands, the guilt remained. Washing your hands of a tough situation doesn’t cancel your guilt. It merely gives you a false sense of peace. Don’t make excuses – take responsibility for the decisions you make.”
