A single mother is challenging a custody order that prohibits her from taking her 12-year-old daughter to a Calvary Chapel church in Maine after a lower court accepted the claim that the denomination is a "cult," granting the girl's father the power to determine which religious activities she's allowed to attend.

In combating the December 2024 custody order, the mother, Emily Bickford, is receiving legal assistance from the Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal group that has helped bring the mother's case before the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.

“Calvary Chapel is not a cult. This custody order banning Emily Bickford from taking her child to a Christian church because of its biblical teachings violates the First Amendment," Liberty Counsel founder and Chairman Mat Staver said in a statement shared with The Christian Post.

Greystar, which manages 333 apartment complexes in Southern California, [and 1 million units nationwide] will cease using RealPage’s algorithmic pricing software as part of a settlement with California.
The company and others will pay $7 million across nine states and help prosecute RealPage and landlords accused of conspiring to artificially inflate rents.
The settlement represents a major victory for renters and signals mounting legal trouble for RealPage as antitrust lawsuits spread nationwide.

The lawsuit alleges Greystar and other landlords were illegally using RealPage to share proprietary data so they could align their prices and drive up rents.

RealPage described its software as a tool for maximizing rent and outperforming the market. Authorities also alleged the company made it more difficult for landlords to reject its recommendations than accept them.

“There is greater good in everybody [i.e. the landlords] succeeding versus essentially trying to compete against one another in a way that actually keeps the entire industry [i.e. rents] down,” a RealPage executive said, according to the lawsuit.

Depending on the church, the options were: Sunday Next Before Advent, Last Sunday of the Year, 24th Sunday after Pentecost, or Feast of Christ the King. I was serving a PCUSA where the calendar prescribed 24th Sunday after Pentecost but the organist and I both went with Christ the King (she's Lutheran

). The congregation made the decision at the last minute to have communion, which I cannot celebrate for them. I had to consult with the lay worship leader and the person who was going to preside at communion to hand write a couple of adjustments to the bulletin they give me so we were all on the same page.

The uber Anglo-Catholic types who use the Missal would have celebrated Christ the King on the Last Sunday of October. I celebrated Reformation Sunday for a Lutheran congregation that day.

“For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face, that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument. For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:1-5 NASB1995)

It was Paul’s desire that the believers in Christ had full understanding of who Jesus Christ is, of what he did for us in his death on that cross, and what it means to be a Christian and a follower of Christ. So if you go back and read chapter 1 it helps with the context of chapter 2 in understanding where he was going with all of this. For there were Judaizers who were trying to convince the believers in Christ that they had to still hold on to some of the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, circumcision, dietary, and Sabbath laws.

And some of that is still going on in our world today. We have modern day Judaizers who go around from “church to church” giving presentations to Christians to try to convince them that they should add on to their salvation, more as an enhancement, I believe, some of the Jewish customs, as though that is going to somehow improve their relationship with Jesus. But we are not called of God to be like the Jews of the Old Covenant. We are called of God to be like Jesus Christ of the New Covenant God has with his people.

And in chapter 1 we read that Paul’s prayer for the Christians was:

“That you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:9-14 NASB1995)

Paul taught them the truth of the gospel of our salvation so they would know that faith in Jesus Christ is not a religion with religious rituals, but it is death to our old lives of living in sin and for self, and it is a change of heart and mind away from living in sin to now desiring to live for the Lord in obedience to his commands and in holy living, by the grace of God, and in the power of God. For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ we are rescued from the control of sin over our lives so we now walk (in conduct) in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing spiritual fruit in every good work.

For Paul did not want that they should have anyone delude them with persuasive argument, but that he should be able to continue to rejoice in seeing their good discipline and the stability of their in faith in Christ (as described in chapter 1). And we must guard against those today who are deluding the masses with a cheapened and diluted “gospel” message which is of the flesh of humans, and not of God, which makes no requirements of believers for death to sin and walks of obedience to our Lord in holy living.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

The Catechism speaks about making confession available to those who are hearing-impaired, but this week, we heard from the other side of the screen.

Two priests who have been featured in the pages of the Register both opened up on social media, lamenting a reality they both face: loss of hearing.

Although hearing aids do exist and help to some degree, the loss of hearing comes at a great cost for Father Dwight Longenecker and Father Joseph Krupp: not being able to hear the confessions offered by the parishioners who come seeking absolution.

Father Longenecker was the first to admit how frustrating it is to lose the ability to hear, especially when working in the confessional.

“I am really fed up with my worsening hearing loss — especially as it makes hearing confessions a total chore,” he wrote on social media.

“Prayers to St. Francis de Sales: patron of the deaf and hard of hearing AND patron of confessors AND patron of writers who had a ministry to Protestants AND was bald and bearded! St. Francis de Sales pray for us!"

Father Joseph Krupp responded to Father Longenecker, saying he shares the same affliction, writing on X:

What follows is a crazy story about an American family's escape from Sweden as the Swedish social services were closing in to seize their four kids. In talking with friends and acquaintances, they were warned to get out without delay. Get out that very night if possible. It turns out that that was good advice.

The People's Therapist Expert on X:

This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services. In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden. I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.

What happened instead nearly destroyed us. I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm.

I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.

We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.

We tried to be the ideal expat family.

Then the Swedish social services system turned its eyes on my family.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY? or HAPPY TURKEY DAY?

As we approach one of our favorite times to celebrate with family, friends, and in-laws, we think about this special time called "Thanksgiving." Yet we hear of some calling it "Turkey Day". So which is it? "Thanksgiving" or "Turkey Day?" Which is correct? Well, let's think about it for a bit.

We celebrate Thanksgiving on the 4th Thursday of November, yet this was not the original date. It was set as the 4th Thursday of November by the US Congress in 1941. So, when was the first Thanksgiving celebrated in the Massachusetts Colony in 1621? No one knows for sure. We believe it was between the end of September and mid-November, when the crops were gathered in. It wasn't a one-day festival of celebration, but rather a three-day celebration.

It was similar to the Biblical Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot, which is celebrated between the end of September and mid-October. During this time Israel praised God for the crops and blessings bestowed upon them by God. The Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot is celebrated every year for 7 days, and one extra day.

So, let's talk about the food at the first Thanksgiving late in the year of 1621. We know that the native Americans of the Wampanoag tribe were a God sent, Squanto being the mediator. After a disastrous 1620, the Wampanoags helped them farm and grow vegetables, so, besides wild turkeys, they also had venison, or "deer meat" hunted by the Indians, so, why not call it "Deer Day?" or "Pumpkin Day?" after all, they probably had those too. The menu probably consisted of: "wild turkey, deer meat, corn, squash, bay oysters, clams, and fish. But everyone seems to be focused on the Turkeys. What's with that, you turkey?

It's great to feast on oven-roasted turkeys, stuffing, and all the trimmings, and have the friends and family over, and eat pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie, or whatever pie you like. (Here in El Salvador, those are nonexistent) You have to make them from scratch. Everyone sits down after dinner, watches football on the tube, and grandpa goes to sleep in the easy chair, and the football game watches grandpa instead.

It's great to have this good time, but let's give thanks to whom thanks is owed, not to the creation (the turkey) but to the creator (God).
Yes, he created the turkeys and the rest of the birds on day 5 of creation, yet HE is the creator and to HIM must we give thanks.

When Thanksgiving comes around this Thursday, a good idea might be a table discussion of why we are thankful; the football game can wait. I would probably be like grandpa, asleep in the chair while the football game is going on. Sports are boring to me, unless I can actually play in the game personally.

Well, let's see. What do we have to be thankful for? Well, we have food on the table and we have our health to eat the food. We have money to buy the food, and we must have jobs to make the money to buy the food. We thank God that we have families, which makes working and providing for them all worthwhile. We have clothing because I doubt we sit around the dinner table in our birthday suits. We have homes where we live, and even AC in some places (not here, only at the Malls, in the banks, and in the supermarkets). We have fresh air to breathe (I guess that depends on where you live), we have parks, and places for R & R (here, the ocean for swimming and surfing). We have our congregations where we go to receive God's WORD.

Yet we also have something precious we can not buy, and that is the gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) and the promise of eternal life with HIM in Heaven, and a place set aside for us to live by his side for all eternity. We have the abilities through the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to serve the LORD while we are Earth-bound, and we can look forward to eternal Shalom and fellowship with God forever.

So yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all.

(best result, bake the turkey in an oven bag, that way, it won't dry out) Here. The best we can hope for is slices of turkey ham from the deli, or a small smoked, boneless turkey (that usually costs more than we care to spend).

Review: Christian music star is doing something no one else has done

“Tonight is not about me,” said Brandon Lake. “But it is about one man — and His name is Jesus.”

www.mercurynews.com

Brandon Lake may just be the most popular concert artist in Christian music history.

Yet, he made it clear — right from the start of his sold-out concert at the SAP Center in San Jose — that he was far from being the true star of the show on Sunday night.

“Tonight is not about me,” said the singer-songwriter, who is a worship pastor at Seacoast Church in South Carolina. “But it is about one man — and His name is Jesus.”

Lake proceeded to turn the Shark Tank into a massive revival tent, leading a crowd that he announced on stage as 15,000 attendees through a 2½-hour-plus set of some of the most powerful contemporary Christian music (CCM) songs of recent years.

That all of this was happening in the heart of Silicon Valley/Bay Area — widely known as one of the least religious and most “unchurched” areas in the country — only made this accomplishment more impressive, greatly underscoring the historic nature of Lake’s trajectory as an artist.

Simply put, this 35-year-old talent is drawing attendance numbers at the box office that are simply astounding — arguably beyond anything ever seen in the CCM genre before.

The girl pleaded not to go.

She fought with her father on the drive over, screaming and crying in his truck until they arrived at the office building for Bruckelmyer Brothers, a home construction company on the outskirts of Duluth, Minnesota. She was just entering her first years of grade school.

In the office, two men were waiting. One of them was Clint Massie, who the girl had recently told her parents had touched her genitals and groped her under her shirt. The other was Daryl Bruckelmyer, a preacher and leader of the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church down the road, where the girl’s family worshipped. Massie was a respected member of the congregation. Bruckelmyer had asked them all to the meeting, according to the girl’s account to police years later.

In front of the girl, her father and Bruckelmyer, Massie asked her for forgiveness. Looming over her, the three men wept. Then the girl’s dad and preacher allowed the man who had been sexually abusing her since kindergarten to hug her.

“It was one of the worst things ever,” she told police some 15 years later.

Over the course of about 20 years in two states, Massie had, according to court documents and by his own admission, sexually abused children within the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church, or OALC, community. He touched girls under blankets when their parents were present, in the backseat of a car with other passengers — even in the pews at church. His abuse was such an open secret among the tight-knit congregation that mothers warned their daughters to stay away from him.

[Church leaders knew] But they never reported Massie’s crimes to police, as required by the law. Instead, Bruckelmyer and other leaders in the church encouraged the victims to take part in forgiveness sessions — which allowed Massie, now 50, to continue abusing children, according to an investigation by the Minnesota Star Tribune and ProPublica.

...

The investigator now had two victims. They gave him the names of others they suspected had also been abused by Massie. Kleffman tried to contact them, but some were reluctant to cooperate. One woman told Kleffman that Massie had asked for forgiveness. The sin, she said in the recorded call, was “washed away in the blood of reconciliation.”

“It is gone forever,” she told Kleffman.

“So you’re following what the church says to do,” Kleffman replied.

“I am following what God says to do,” the woman told him, before hanging up.

Two Christian families in India’s Chhattisgarh state were denied the right to bury deceased relatives in their native villages. In both incidents, locals blocked access to burial plots and insisted on Hindu rites as a condition for entry, forcing the families to travel elsewhere to perform final rites.

In the first case, a man from the Kodekurse area in Kanker district died on Nov. 5 after a long illness. The man’s family attempted to bury him in their ancestral land within the village but were blocked by other residents who objected to the family’s Christian faith, the U.K.-based group Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported.

Attempts to resolve the issue through police intervention failed. The officers reportedly declined to confront the villagers, leaving the family unable to proceed with the burial. With threats escalating, the Christian community placed the body in front of the local police station in protest.

In a firm call to avoid “false mercy” in marriage annulment proceedings, Pope Leo XIV reminded that compassion cannot disregard the truth.

During a Friday audience with participants in the legal-pastoral training course of the Roman Rota, the Holy See’s court of appeals, the Holy Father read a lengthy speech in which he recalled the importance of the reform of marriage annulment processes initiated by Pope Francis 10 years ago.

The pontiff emphasized that theology, law, and pastoral care must be understood in a harmonious way, not as separate or opposing areas, and pointed out that annulment proceedings are not merely technical procedures to obtain the “free status of persons” but rather an ecclesial service based on the search for truth and on family pastoral care.

The Lord is leading me this morning to look into the subject of “kindness” in the Scriptures, and what the Scriptures teach on this subject, so this is going to be taken from multiple passages of Scripture which I will reference below. So, the first thing I want to look into is the kindness of God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – for he is our example of what true kindness looks like. And this is important that we do this, because this word “kindness” is often being used in ways which are anti-biblical and not kind.

Kindness of God

We read in Romans 2:4-11 that God’s kindness is longsuffering and patience, but that his kindness is intended to lead us to repentance. So if we remain stubborn and unrepentant, we are storing up wrath for ourselves on the day of judgment when God will render to each person according to his deeds. And for those who do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, they will face the wrath of God, even if they profess faith in Jesus Christ.

And in Romans 11:22 we read of God’s kindness, as well as his severity. To those who fell, who rejected Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they faced his severity, and they were cut out of Israel. And for us who believe in Jesus, we have known his kindness, but we must continue in that kindness or we can be cut off, too. And what that means is that we must continue in dying to sin and walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commandments.

And in Ephesians 2:1-10 we read that God, in his kindness, made us sinners alive together with Christ, by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which was not of our own doing, but of the grace of God. We can do nothing in and of ourselves to deserve or to earn our own salvation. But we are saved by the grace of God, and as his workmanship, he created us for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (obeying them).

And in 1 Peter 2:1-3 we read: “Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.” So God’s kindness to us is in delivering us out of our lives of bondage to sin so that we can now serve him with our lives in doing what he requires of us to do in obedience to him.

Us Being Kind

So, us being kind to one another is modeled for us by Jesus Christ. Not only is he merciful, but he is just. Not only is he gracious, but he is also righteous. Not only is he a God of love, but he is also a God of wrath. Not only is he loving and forgiving toward those who turn from their sins to obey him, but he is true to his word that those who refuse to repent and to obey him will not have salvation from sin nor eternal life with God.

So kindness is not just saying things to people to make them feel good inside. Yes, we must be people who are kind, generous, thoughtful, respectful, considerate, loving, tender, and gracious, who truly care about other people and what they are going through, and who will be good listeners, especially with us old people who repeat ourselves sometimes. We should never be nasty, rude, disrespectful, or hateful to anyone.

But kindness is never lying to people to make them feel good about themselves or so that they will like us and think we are great. Kindness always speaks truth, spoken in love, with sincerity, knowing the will of God for our lives and what constitutes genuine salvation from sin and eternal life with God. So it is loving and kind to tell people that salvation from sin and eternal life with God are not granted to those who refuse to obey God and who continue in deliberate sin. For you may save someone’s life from hell.

[Kindness of God – Romans 2:4-11; Romans 11:22; Ephesians 2:1-10; Titus 3:1-8; 1 Peter 2:1-3; Be you kind - 1 Corinthians 13:4; 2 Corinthians 6:2-10; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:12-13; 2 Timothy 2:24-26; 1 Peter 3:8-9; 2 Peter 1:5-11]

'We had 300,000 missing children under the Biden administration that the Mexican drug cartels brought into our country.'

Vice President J.D. Vance is defending the Trump administration’s enforcement of the U.S. government's immigration policies, which he says are consistent with Catholic Church teaching and Pope Leo XIV's own comments that every nation has the right to control its borders.

During an interview with Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle Thursday, Vance was asked to weigh in on Pope Leo XIV’s remarks on immigration, in which he said, “I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter.”

“You may not know it, judging purely from the comments of some people on social media, but the Catholic Church’s views on this are actually quite clear,” Vance said.

It’s very difficult to see that there are three that are God - within the Godhead; God, God, and Holy Spirit.

Before Christ came, God spoke to God and said let us make man. Taking the understanding that within the Godhead there are three, the pattern of Man is exactly the same. Within Man, there are many, just like within the Godhead there are three.

The two in the Godhead made provisions to save man, which included the third, the Holy Spirit. One God decided to come to earth to become the Son to save man while the other God received him as His Son.
Psalms 45:7 KJV
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Jesus became the Son of God only when he was born of God through the Holy Ghost and a virgin. Before Jesus was crucified, having stepped down from His position as God in Heaven, He prayed to God Who is now His Father to be restored to the glory He once had. This verse proves this,
John 17:5 KJV
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

This is Jesus titles;
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

These titles belong to Jesus because He is God, has always been God, has always been One of Three in the Godhead.

We can only understand Man and how within the creation, there are many men. Same as within the animal world patterned after heaven; within the animal kingdom, there are many, patterned after God within the Godhead, there are Three!

Understanding this can help people see why Jesus is God and He is the Son at the same time.

One of the goals of event is to trigger "as many liberals as possible in their home turf"
Some commenters were concerned with paying for the tickets and sending their money to Disney, to which the organization said: “This is to go have some fun by triggering as many liberals as possible in their home turf as well as giving conservative families at least one chance to take their kids to Disneyland.”

I haven’t been going to church in a while. I feel like it’s boring. I find myself daydreaming and the sermons are good, but I really don’t like to sing or stand up. I like just saying prayers and even though the sermons are good, I don’t feel like going. I’m not really getting anything out of the Bible study, either, which is online. When I do go to church, I do tithe.
Am I falling away or is this not the right church for me? The people are nice.
