Biden/Harris & The Power of Propaganda

If you want to understand the power of propaganda, look no further than the Biden/Harris ticket.

Progressives are calling for change, but Biden & Harris, two career politicians, are the epitome of the status quo.  Biden has literally been in politics for 20% of our nation's history.    

Progressives are crying for social justice for all races, but Biden has consistently used objectively racist speech and was literally a proponent of segregation during the civil rights era.

Progressives are rallying around the BLM movement, but Biden and Harris both have a history of creating and perpetuating the judicial system that capitalizes on the incarceration of blacks.

Progressives call President Trump a liar, but Biden has a documented history of plagiarism and Harris openly admitted that her statements about Biden during the primary debates were not necessarily factual because, after all, they were made during debates.

Progressives accuse Trump and his family of corruption, but Biden's family grew rich while he was the Vice President and Harris's record in CA is full of corruption. 

Propaganda turns the truth on its head.  I am not a Trump supporter, but Democrats need to be honest about the candidates they are supporting in this election.  If you think that Biden and Harris will bring change, racial justice, and honesty to the White House, you're illustrating the power of the web of propaganda the media continues to spin.

4 Reasons I Affirm Paedocommunion

If you have interacted with me on social media, you know that I have always been outspoken on the issue of Paedocommunion .  It is a theological position and a liturgical practice about which I am passionate.  Having been raised, and having raised my children, at the Table, I cannot imagine attending a church that didn't allow PC.  I hope that when I am old and gray, I will still be an advocate for bringing little children to the Sacrament. Throughout the 12 years that I have had this blog, I have written scattered thoughts on the topic, but it appears that I have never written a concise summary of my reasons for affirming PC.  I was thoroughly convinced that I had, but I can't seem to locate it, so I guess I never did.  So, to rectify the omission, here are four reasons I hold to PC. 1) Paedocommunion is Biblical.   Any discussion of the topic should start here, and I would hope that both sides of the debate would make this assertion.  However, let me clarify what I mean when

1 Corinthians, the Covenant Hermeneutic, & Paedocommunion

As an adherent to Paedocommunion  (hereafter PC), I have always found it painfully ironic that Credocommunionists use 1 Corinthians 11 to withhold children (among others) from the Table.  One can imagine St. Paul shaking his head as he watches theologians using his discussion of unity at the Table to divide the body at the Table.  You're missing the point! he would say in exasperation.  Not only does 1 Corinthians 11 not forbid PC; I would go so far as to say that there is no better defense of PC in the New Testament than the epistle of 1 Corinthians. Credocommunionist logic is pretty straightforward.  1 Corinthians 11:28 says, "Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup."  If, they argue, one is unable to fulfill the exhortation to examine himself, then he may not eat of the bread and drink of the cup.  This is a pretty logical deduction, right? Credobaptists would adamantly agree.  Acts 2:38 says, "Repent and be baptized...&quo

Why do you go to church on Sunday?

Why do you go to church on Sunday?  I would assume there are many reasons, but what is the primary reason that you get up on a cold, snowy Sunday morning and get your butt to church?  Further, why has the Church of Jesus Christ consistently gathered together on Sundays (among other days) for the last 2000 years? Throughout my 34 years of church attendance I would have proffered a variety of answers to that question.  As a child I'm sure I went to church because I had to, to see my cousins (who happened to be my best friends), to get bread and wine (weekly communion for the win), etc.  As my faith matured in adulthood these reasons remained, hopefully deepening, but to them were added concepts like rest and theological training. As I moved into Anglicanism I was struck by the deliberate focus on worship .  Why do Christians gather on Sunday morning?  To worship God!  Are teaching and fellowship important?  Absolutely!  Are they aspects of worship?  Certainly!  Is either the primary
