The Crusades

The Crusades were a radical break with Christian history, driven by an apocalyptic expectation of the end of time, with Christians believing they needed to recapture the holy city of Jerusalem to hasten Christ's return. This ideal emerged in the 11th century, with the first Crusade succeeding in capturing Jerusalem in 1099, but also resulting in violence and bloodshed. The Crusades continued for centuries, with various attempts to recapture Jerusalem, leaving a dark wound on Christianity and a complex legacy that still affects relations between Christians and Muslims today.

Growing to Maturity

The Bible calls us to be like children, but there's a grave misunderstanding about what it means to have a childlike faith. It's not about being simplistic or uninformed, but about having implicit trust in God's authority. To grow in maturity, we must make diligent use of the means of grace, such as prayer, Bible study, sacraments, and fellowship, and not seek shortcuts to instant growth. [... more]

Meekness and Self-Control

Biblically, meekness is a virtue that elevates the image of powerful and strong characters, such as Moses and Jesus. It is often misunderstood as a weak or timid personality, but in reality, it is a characteristic that complements strength and presupposes it. Gentleness is a manifestation of tenderness and is the opposite of abrasiveness and arrogance, requiring the fruit of the Spirit to temper strength and power. [... more]

Joy and Peace
