By: Paul Murano – Nov. 2017 At the end of each November we commemorate a peace meal between two warring parties. We call it Thanksgiving. The word ‘Thanksgiving’ in Greek means Eucharist. Whereas Thanksgiving is celebrated once a year, the peace meal that is the Eucharistic is celebrated every Sunday. There are profound parallels between […]
John 1:19, reads as follows, “For the law [the 10 Commandments] was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” Notice grace and truth are on the side of Jesus Christ while the law is on the side of Moses. The Scriptures make it very clear that God’s Grace cannot be separated […]
By: Peter Larocque – Jan. 2016 In my last two columns I have been focusing on the truth that God is doing something new, based on the scripture taken from Isaiah 43:19. I thought it appropriate to conclude this series as we celebrate the New Year with my first column of 2016! In part 1, […]
By: Peter Larocque – November, 2015 I remember years ago, a friend of mine who lived down the street from where I lived got a new bike. But this was not just an ordinary bike; it was The New Varoom Bike from Mattel with Stingray handlebars, which came with the sound of a motorcycle. This […]
By: Dani Langevin – October, 2015 I think everyone would agree that the world can be an ugly place. Not a day goes by that the media doesn’t inundate us with stories of horrific acts of violence. The worst part of it is, that mankind on mankind commits these acts of violence. Isis is beheading […]
By: Peter Larocque – August, 2015 Back in the mid 1970’s, after graduating from High School and entering the work force, I took on a job at a State facility for mentally retarded adults. My job title back then was “MHA-1” which was an acronym for “Mental Health Assistant, Level 1”. The job itself is […]
By: Paul Murano – January, 2014 February is St. Valentine’s month. In the middle of the winter when many spirits are down due to mid-winter cold and darkness, February 14th reminds us of the warmth of love. But what is love? Love a word that is overused and abused in our culture. This has led […]
By: Paul Murano – August, 2013 Last month in this column we mentioned that the distortion of adding same sex partners to the definition of marriage was not nearly as shocking to society as the separation of sex from marriage had been. When Elvis shocked the […]
By: Paul Murano – April 2013 At the moment of this writing the Supreme Court is deliberating two cases related to so-called “same-sex marriage”. If the justices have any sense they will state in a clear voice that marriage has nothing to do with equality or rights, but is an outgrowth of human nature […]
By: Peter Larocque – February 2013 Usually when one reads the Title of Prophet, they immediately think of Biblical Prophets. Biblical Prophets are those called by God to speak for Him to discipline, admonish, encourage or edify His people. They may at times even warn His people of coming events that would not be […]
Simply amazing isn’t it? There are actually people in, this, the greatest country on the face of the earth, going around promoting the idea that people who succeed in life do so only because of the involvement of others in their lives. They deny individual success and achievement. (You can’t make this stuff up.) […]
By: Paul Murano – September, 2012 Once again America has been subject to the game of psychological and emotional manipulation called politics. It is offensive to anyone devoted to the truth. In the two national conventions this past month we’ve learned that Mitt Romney and Barack Obama help their wives with the dishes, love their […]
By: Dani Langevin, Lesbian Columnist – May, 2011 Paint a boy’s toenails pink and the whole world as we know it is going to implode. Recently, J. Crew posted an ad showing their creative director Jenna Lyons and her 5-year-old son Beckett whose toenails she painted pink. You’d have thought she put him in […]
Ye Gay Old Valley By: Dani Langevin, Lesbian Columnist – December, 2010 I’ve been watching the Tea Party movement, well, not really. I’ve actually just been hearing about it, listening to the fact that it’s growing faster than a bald man’s hair plugs and had some sort of impact on the recent elections. I will […]
By: Paul Murano – October, 2010 I went to a debate the other night between Humanists and Christians sponsored by the Chesterton Society of Worcester on the question of which offers the greater hope for humanity. I was impressed by the good will displayed between both groups, but it wasn’t too long before I […]
