You Can't Define the Holy Spirit

It’s the physical worldview that has things all wrong. We think we can live forever, we think we can do whatever we want (within reason), we think of our bodies’ needs first, and we think intelligence is the ticket for success. Perhaps this simplifies things, but the overall point is we live in a “s... (www.catholic365.com)

If it was a crime to be a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

The proclamation of Jesus goes straight to the bones, heart, goes deep within and change us. And the spirit of the world does not tolerate it, will not tolerate it, and therefore, there is persecution.

Pursuing God's Call

God's different in a way. He calls us each to something. But it's not like our phone rings and we pick it up. Sometimes we feel what He is calling us to early in life but sometimes it takes a lifetime. The question is, once we find out what God wants us to do, how do we about pursuing that?...

I was "Isadored" by Two Catholics and a Hebrew; It was Great*

I never knew a Catholic/Christian named Isidore. I had always thought that the name, Isidore, was primarily a Hebrew/Jewish name.

However, scripture also says, “So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.” (2 Thes 2:15) ...
