Diverse & Strange Teachings
Christ is risen! "Nobody told me there'd be days like these!" Well, that not exactly true. St. Paul did warn that "in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,...

We Are Here to Hear
Christ is risen! "Can you hear me now?" That famous commercial question was meant to show that one cell phone carrier was better than another. Of course, those were the days of dropped calls and out of range service areas. I, personally haven't had that kind of problem in quite...
