We could not think of writing a book about saints and powerful men who have changed the course of our lives and not include Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. I must admit I never watched Fulton J. Sheen on television, nor was I influenced by him while he was alive. But, as we began to discover our Catholic faith as adults, his words and his living based out of those words, became a strong part of our journey of faith toward new life in the Lord.

Christians desire to grow in their relationship with God. They want to flourish, to experience victory in their Christian lives. They want to live in the overcoming power that the cross provides. But they are stuck. They are like my friend, John, who works 60 hours per week, sits in two hours of traffic each day, and carries the burdens of the world on his shoulders. He and his wife, Jenny, love each other, or at least they used to. They now spend their time together carting their kids to activities after driving through Taco Bell for dinner.

If Paul Wrote to Today’s Church looks at worldly flaws that have infiltrated the church of today and imagines what someone like Paul would say if given the opportunity.

We are more than our DNA or our upbringing. Never a baby has been born that got past the plan and purpose of Yahweh. If we are here, it is by divine design. If we made it this far, he planned on it. The difference between children and sons is (sons) know who they are in him, and no longer identify with the fictional man. The fictional man is who we became apart from him and one another. (DNA, upbringing, life experiences, etc.) If we were able to become all we were foreordained to be apart from one another in him, we would have done it long ago.

Historians have long understood that conflicts over slavery, Constitutional interpretation, economic interests, and culture contributed to the coming of the War Between the States.

Apocrypha is a Greek word that means "something hidden". The term is often used for writings of the church that are not generally accepted as authentic or inspired. It is unclear what the motivation was for writing many of these works. But often they fill in gaps of information where the Bible is silent.

David was not allowed to build the temple, but Yahweh told him that he would build a house for him. David was a man of war and had blood on his hands, so he was not qualified to build the temple. Solomon was allowed to build the temple and the house of David, but he was warned about keeping his heart right and being a man of integrity like his father before him. Neither of them was qualified to build the Father's house because that responsibility was reserved for Yahshua the Messiah.
