Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own
BUT is that REALLY what the Bible says? That's what we'll be talking about in the next sessions of The Journey - I hope to see you Saturday!
Dear friends - Please take 10 minutes to watch this personal update from me:
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
in this book - I contributed a chapter called Rigorism in the Early Church: The First "Fundamentalists"

The title is Faith in Crisis: Critical Dialogues in Catholic Traditionalism, Church Authority, and Reform - it's based on the idea that finding the truth (and indeed the development of correct doctrine) is a navigation of the middle way, and avoiding the extremes - and it covers pretty much the whole history of the Church.
