If you wish to alter, spending time at the altar is a good place to start.
This blog seeks to promote and establish ecumenism among all groups and denominations of the Christian Faith via expressions in written language, and through any means of communication. We seek the promotion of others that are working towards the same common goal, as well. The prayer of Jesus in John 17: 21 was: "I pray that they may all be one…." Ultimately and eternally, the creation of unity among all believers and followers of Christ is sought desiring harmony with and for all of humanity.

Golden Rule
“In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets."
- Matthew 7:12, NRSV
Man with a mission?
Oh, the missionary man, he's got God on his side
He's got the saints and apostles backing up from behind
Black eyed looks from those Bible books
He's a man with a mission, got a serious mind
There was a woman in the jungle and a monkey on a tree
The missionary man, he was following me
He said, stop what you're doing, get down upon your knees
I've a message for you that you better believe
The
foregoing excerpt is taken from the lyrics for the song Missionary Man by the Eurythmics
(Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart). I decided to share the official video of the
song on here. We can usually use some entertainment, especially when it seems
to have a message. Of course, you all can decide on what the message is for
yourselves. Either way, I hope you enjoy. Blessings!

Video on Martin Luther and October 31
Today is All
Saints’ Eve (The evening before All Saints’ Day). On the liturgical calendar, November
1 is All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows' Day). Hallows meaning hallowed
(holy). All Saints’ Day honors all saints who came before us who have passed on
and gone to heaven. The evening before All Saints' Day became a holy (hallowed,
eve), and eventually Halloween. Pope Gregory III is the pope who established
November 1 as All Saints” Day during the eighth century. Well, this is my summary
of the history behind the day. Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses on All Saints’
Eve around 800 years later. The fact that he chose this day appears to be significant.
Ryan M.
Reeves (PhD Cambridge) is Assistant Professor of Historical Theology at
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Dr. Reeves states the following with
relevance to a YouTube video he shares titled: Martin Luther and the 95 Theses.
The 95 Theses in many ways started the Protestant
Reformation. Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the church door of Wittenberg, and
the Catholic Church later excommunicated him for these views. But what are the
95 Theses? Why did Luther post the 95 Theses? This video explains this and the
start of the Reformation.
I hope you
enjoy watching this video by Dr. Reeves.
