What Do Christians Celebrate During Holy Week?

In my latest visit to the Brett Winterble Show Brett and I discuss how Easter is more than just peeps, chocolates and colored eggs.
Thanks, Brett for including this deeply religious discussion on your show.

 

The Church will Never “Get With the Times”

During the last election, one of the candidates publicly stated that the Catholic Church had to change its teachings on marriage and human sexuality, so as to be more in tune with modern values.  Jesus addresses that sentiment during his Sermon on the Mount and because of his teaching, the Church, if it is to remain truly the Church, will never “get with the times.”
