It is hard at times to get silence since My wife and I have 4 children , 2 of which aRE DIAGNOSED with autism, and sometimes it gets pretty hectic dealing with 2 autistic children because of their repetitive behaviors. And with that I sometimes feel lost and not worthy of the kingdom of God , because of what Thomas Merton wrote that I must seek my identity not only in God but in other men, and does that mean that if other men do not accept me then God does not accept me either?

It is very odd that the author does not mention the Orthodox church. “very Christian church the world over, Catholic or Protestant”.

The Pentecost happened 2000 years ago. Christianity is all about Christ, not about Spirit as in shamanism. God Bless. Dear Ruth,

Do not let the Pentecostals brainwash you. The Pentecost happened 2000 years ago. Christianity is all about Christ, not about Spirit as in shamanism.

God Bless.

I knew some of the story of Tim Tebow but did not know all of it. It was written almost 100 yrs ago ..Let a nation loose the Church and we will kill our kind before they are born and hasten their ends when thay are useless. We have reinvented prohibition and made killing the tiniest of our kind a "right". (Forward from the Essential Belloc A Prophet for Our Times) Makes me pray for us all who have seen this come to fruition. Thank you for this!

Why are we so fixated on Jesus? He told us He was sending us the Holy Spirit but we don't seem to have heard Him. Pentecost is coming and I was hoping to find a CD set on the Holy Spirit.

Once again, as I seek a deeper meaning other than my own, to understand and be able to relate the Lord's message to others of what he is telling us (me), it helps me to see a more clear picture. I teach catechism to future middle school students, and I've taken a commitment to help them accept and embrace Our Lord for who he is. I can't do it alone, but with the help of so many holy and good people, it allows me not only to teach these children the awesomeness of God, but I also learn so much for myself. Thank you for your continued inspirtation. The Holy Spirit does speak to us through you. Sending you many blessings and prayers, Sincerely, Maria I want to say “thank you”, for your words.

When I read the bible, I read it with the mind of the Holy Spirit - not with my LIMITED, FINITE mind. Therefore, I ACCEPT everything I read EVEN IF it "does not sound logical". When God says in Ephesians 2: 8 -10 that it is by grace that I am saved, not my works lest I boast through faith in Jesus Christ, I BELIEVE it 100000%. Consequently, I am not anxious about the "good works" that I must show because Philippians 2:12 takes care of it - I am to work out my salvation in "fear and trembling" because it is God who "works in me" both to "will and to do" for His pleasure. My role is to be RECEPTIVE to the leading of the Holy Spirit for the "good works" God wants me to do. That is why I said that I read the bible witht he "mind" of the Holy Spirit. IF ONLY MAN WILL NOT USE "HUMAN" LOGIC TO WHAT PERTAINS TO GOD, I BELIEVE 90 % OF CONTENTIONS BETWEEN DENOMINATIONS WILL BE ELIMINATED. There is ONLY one God, one faith, one baptism, one Lord - so why does it seem that we have so many "faith denomination", etc, etc. I have no problem BELIEVING GOD.
