One of the most painful things for me is the reality that, almost certainly, I'll never be married and have children. But my Lord and Saviour never married, nor did He ever have children. So I can rest in the fact that He has gone through this loneliness and is with me still.

"We're not like YOUR GRANDMA'S CHUR--" I want it like my grandma's church. I'm tired of being coddled/entertained. I'm a sinner. I need to worship God, receive Absolution, and receive Christ through Word/Sacrament. Give me my grandma's church, not a pop concert with a TED Talk.

Good news: I'm out of the hospital. I have to deal with some discomfort for the next week or two, but by then I should be getting more information. It looks like they got out all of the tumor in the bladder, but I might have more in a kidney. They'll be checking for that next.

One of the most frustrating things about dialogue between Romanists and Protestants is that the Romanist will continually cite heretics like John MacArthur as authoritative representatives of Protestantism...and we can't even cite the literal "Vicar of Christ" to represent them.

To everyone out there: 1) Christ is King. 2) Jew or Gentile, you are lost without Christ. 3) There is no eschatological significance to the modern State of Israel. 4) Stop making up crap about secret cabals of Jews pulling the strings while drinking the blood of Christians.

My brother periodically sends me "Coming Home" interviews about former Anglicans becoming Roman. It's always the same: a poorly-catechized man is mistreated by a Bishop, takes money from Anglicans, and becomes Roman. These don't really tempt me to become Roman for some reason.

"Guys, the Chosen adds to the narrative of Scripture. It's idolatrous." Brad, you're a Dispensationalist Baptist who holds to TULIP and thinks caring about the environment in any capacity is paganism; don't start with that "adding to the Bible" nonsense.

A lot of people come to me, both online and in real life, who are former Roman Catholics. So often, they will tell me about various abuses that led them away from Rome. The latest one today: a priest literally demanded a "donation" of $150 for Baptism. That's Simony.

The number one reason liturgical worship is better than spontaneous worship is this: no matter what my feelings are, the worship in the Book of Common Prayer is the same. If my worship is spontaneous, then of necessity it is based upon my own (or the worship leaders') feelings.

When you keep referring to those in the Papal Communion as "Catholic" and yourself as "not Catholic", one of two things will happen: 1) You'll oppose the historic consensus of the Church and her unity, or 2) You'll believe the lie that Rome is the fullness of the Faith.
