Disrespect To Christians and Women

Here we go again…there are two issues at play here and ABC should be ashamed of itself. 1) Why is it always acceptable to degrade Christianity? What if we were to change the “C” to an “M”? Just imagine what the outcry would be like! This shows the new level of depravity that our society has sunken to. 2) Where are the Women’s Rights Movement folks? This whole week, national news and syndicated talk shows were preoccupied with the rights and dignity of women, especially in regards to the contraceptive issue; ABC was the network that spearheaded the debate. Well, here is ABC being as disrespectful to women as one can be by using one of the most derogatory words there is to degrade women, and no one is challenging them on it. Is it ok and permissible to use such words to describe Christian women? All those who love Jesus and are concerned about the way women are viewed within our society should let ABC know that this kind of programming is not appreciated, but do so in a Christ-like manner. Let them know that we are a people, living within the tremendous love of the Lord and are not ashamed of the Cross.

Disturbing Comments From An Archbishop

The storyline in the following article made news because of the comments made by the so call “world most famous atheist” Richard Dawkins, stating that he is not 100 percent sure that God does not exist.  However, the most disturbing aspect of the article in my opinion is the comment from Dr. Rowan Williams, the Archbishops of Canterbury, here is a man who is a custodian of God’s Holy Word making comments that he believes that human beings had evolved from non-human ancestors but were nevertheless “in the image of God”.  He also said that the explanation for the creation of the world in the Book of Genesis could not be taken literally.  Who do we have as guardians of the Word?  Very disturbing!!

The Epiphany

Today is the beginning of the Epiphany season on the Church calendar. Epiphany is observed starting on January 6th which is the end of the twelve days of Christmas.  Hispanics and some Europeans call it Three Kings’ Day because it is seen as the time when the Magi or the Wise Men visited the Baby Jesus bearing gifts.  The duration of the season is dependent on the start of the Lenten season.  The meaning of the word Epiphany is “to show” or “to reveal” Jesus’ manifestation to the world as the Son of Man. It is also a time that the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River is observed.  Epiphany, as well as the other Church seasons, are not means to salvation, which can only be obtained through the Blood of Christ.  The Church seasons are used as a guide for mankind in their devotion to their faith; it is a guide to worship and a reminder of who we serve.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'” Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.  When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. (Matthew 2:1-12)

Go out spread and reveal the Light of Christ to the world!
