• A Wonderful Sacrament Meeting Experience: God Bless Truly Humble and Selfless Saints

  
  Things of My Soul — Authority: 135
  The following experience happened some time ago, but it came to mind tonight - so I thought I would write a post about it.  I hope it touches someone and is an answer to prayer in some way: I normally like to arrive at least 30 minutes early when I am visiting a ward or branch as part of my calling, but, due to ...

• Why Ministers Leave

  
  — Authority:
  The typical pastor stays in a church for 3.6 years . This does not seem to offer much hope for any long-term vision for a local parish. Planning ahead seems futile from the outset. This discouraging number stems from a variety of issues. Some pastors, fresh out of seminary, attempt to revive a church that has already ...

• Communion Meditation: Our Story

  
  — Authority:
  The Story of redemption is written only in the mind of God. We know the end of the story, but we do not know what is to transpire before that end. In the same manner, our stories are not fully written. Everything we are going through is part of God’s writing process. And God is not only a good writer, but a perfect ...

  — Authority:
  To all those fearing militant Muslims, have no fear, Jesus has an army! And much like an African warlord, he enlists little children for it! Phew. We’re all safe. As explain on the back of the record in the song notes, “a chorus of over eighty voices on this record help translate to the child the military aspects ...

• Magic Handkerchiefs?

  
  — Authority:
  God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. Acts 19.11-12. Back in the Sixties I was privileged to meet Godfrey and Elizabeth Dawkins, missionaries in Kenya, when they ...

• How often are men and women quoted in church?

  
  — Authority:
  I have heard anecdotal evidence that men are much more likely than women to be quoted during LDS church services, and that stories about men are more often shared than stories about women.  It is not surprising that this trend would exist given that the majority of scripture stories in the LDS canon are about men and ...

• On being Protestant and thinking about the Sacraments (Part 2)

  
  — Authority:
  Part one of this series can be found here. I was baptized twice. I cringe when I think about it. In brief, I was baptized when I was 8, because it was a public declaration of my decision to follow Jesus 3-4 years before. I was re-baptized at 18 because I had “made my faith my own” and I thought it necessary, ...

• Stand Up for Marriage: Live the Sacrament!

  
  — Authority:
  Theres been a lot of buzz recently since the Supreme Court heard two cases involving the question of whether or not same-sex unions or so-called same-sex marriage should be constitutionally protected. I havent written one line about the debate on this blog since the cases were heard, mostly because I feel others ...

• On being Protestant and thinking about the Sacraments (Part 1)

  
  — Authority:
  A Note from the Editor: This is the first in a three-part series on the Sacraments from a distinctly Protestant perspective. Today we’ll cover communion, tomorrow we’ll cover baptism, and Friday we’ll cover the possibility of the Church itself functioning as a Sacrament. Recently I’ve had a few conversations ...

• “From a sudden and unprovided death, spare us O Lord.”

  
  — Authority:
  After the Boston bombings I posted about the serious prayer which all Catholics should say: “ A subitanea et improvisa morte … From a sudden and unprovided death, spare us O Lord.” A sudden death can be a blessing. A sudden and  unprovided  death is a horrifying prospect. In this light, a reader sent ...

• The Lord’s Supper and Assurance

  
  — Authority:
  The Lord’s Supper is a holy sacrament that Jesus gave to his church to help strengthen us in the Christian faith.  If you’re a Christian who is weak, weary, full of doubts, and in need of God’s love and grace, don’t avoid the table – go to it with repentant faith.  Thomas Brooks put it this way. ...

• Once You Figure Out God Is a Jerk

  
  — Authority:
  So, I heard some years ago that religious people tend to be happier and healthier.  It didn’t especially jive with my experience, but hey, it’s what the scientific data say, right? Here’s an interesting piece from the NY Times , corroborating and explaining some of the benefits of “religious attendance — ...

• Literary DCGD #16: Sabbath School Opening Hymn

  
  — Authority:
  When we discuss the Sabbath in lessons, we can either focus on the things that we should not do to keep the day holy or we can focus on the things we can and should do. The 16th Gospel Doctrine lesson for the Doctrine and Covenants focuses more on the latter than on the former, discussing attending Sunday meetings and ...

• Of Baptismal Regeneration, Paedocommunion, and Intinction.

  
  — Authority:
  Last night, while reading " Children at the Lords Table: Assessing the Case for Paedocommunion " by Cornelis P. Venema, a connection between three issues aligned for me for the first time. Venemas book lays out a case against allowing children to partake of the Supper before they have professed faith. Within the PCA ...

• This Sunday’s Sacrament Meeting

  
  — Authority:
  As a child in the 80s, I remember often feeling a low-level dread. Not constant, not to the extent that it interfered with enjoying life, but the dread of a Cold War child that, any minute, the happy world I lived in might be destroyed in a hail of nuclear fire.[fn1] It didn’t have anything to do with my parents, ...

• QUAERITUR: Everyone going forward at a “healing Mass” for Anointing of the Sick

  
  — Authority:
  From a reader: I am a graduate student at ___, and over the past few weeks have received two emails (one related to the tragedy this past weekend) for “Healing Masses” in which (quoting the one) “priests…will be available to administer the Sacrament of the Sick–a special anointing to those who wish to ...

• Communion

  
  — Authority:
  Despite attending church on a fairly regular basis over the past six years, I have never participated during our monthly observance of communion. Communion was a very rare occurrence in the Holiness church I grew up in. I would be surprised if we observed it more than once in a five-year span, and it was typically ...

• From the Trinity Capital

  
  — Authority:
  Beyond the purple velvet drapes, the skeins of billowed gossamer, my hotel window looks down on the back gates of Trinity College. Up three floors and pierced by a late October sun, the room has been done up like a swinger’s pad, with leopard print and leather, with mirrors and conic shaded lights in orbit about ...
