Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2026-515: Headlines: You May Have Missed This

I write this post because I keep hearing church leaders talking about the Roman Catholic church and the heresy of Mary as co-mediatrix, which means she has a place in our salvation.  I usually hear it from people who tend to be very anti-Catholic.  I thought I had heard the Pope had made a statement on this that did not agree with what they were saying.  I finally did a little research and found this article from an official Catholic source.  All you really need to do is read a short way to find the lack of veracity in these protestant statements.

I was in no danger of thinking of Mary as more than a faithful woman who was chosen to be the mother of Jesus.  That is all the Bible says so it is all I would say.  The danger is in letting our prejudice guide our mouths and how that might effect our witness to people who need us as a source of truth not deceit.

      Just because we disagree with Catholics on many issues and doctrines it does not mean we can embrace rumor an innuendo instead of truth.

      Grace and peace

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
