"I walk through this sinful world as a 

pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon

It's that time of the year again! I get to listen to classical choral music and not get a lot of weird stares from the public in general. One of my favorites is L'adieu des bergers from L'enfance du Christ a French oratorio by Hector Berlioz. An oratorio is basicly an opera without the funny costumes and prancing around the stage. The performers can concentrate on the music and not have to worry about the big woman in the viking helmet tripping over the guys dressed like low income pirates and pretending to quaft ale. You all know at least one oratorio: Handel's Messiah is the worlds most famous oratorio, and it's just as good even if you can't sing.

And here's a good example why the Calvary Chapel Association split from CCGN: women preaching and teaching in flagrant dismissal of 1 Timothy 1:12 and this particular pastrix also violates Proverbs 30:5-6

Who would have thought that the battleground chosen by Satan for the liberal's war against Christ would be HGTV

The theological disaster that is Hillsong - If you get the doctrine of man wrong, you can’t help but get the gospel wrong, too.

Did you know that bug spray is merely highly diluted nerve gas? It's true. what's not true is that God uses it to heal

Congress chose to threaten the hiring practices of faith-based organizations that provide critical services to soldiers in war zones, refugees, victims of human and sex trafficking, and veterans, among others just to get one last bill past a lame duck president

We're under attack, it's got to be true, I saw it on the Internet
