Tragedy in My Own Neighborhood
Last week, a terrible tragedy struck in two homes just a stone’s throw from my own house. As of the writing of this article, one man is currently in custody on nineteen criminal charges, including the murder of five people.

It’s About The Cross
While many will discuss whether Christians should even participate in Christmas celebrations (which is discussion worth having) one thing thing we all agree upon is that almost 2,000 years ago Christ took on human flesh and was born into this world.

Book Review: “Life in the Grey Nunnery at Montreal” by Sarah J. Richardson

A letter to the pope.
Thanks to Banner of Truth for reprinting this letter from Charles Hodge to Pope Pius the Ninth.

They just don’t get it.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10:2-4 […]

It is impossible to measure the harm done to the Protestant cause through the retention of paedobaptism.

Baby […]

I first met Rose Marie a few years ago. She is a 20-something nun who works a booth at the local fair. Since she travels around selling Rome’s idolatrous wares and trinkets, I hadn’t seen her since that first meeting. However, she was back in town and I saw her yesterday at this year’s fair. […]
