[caption id="attachment_5662" align="aligncenter" width="900"] iPhone shots from St. Michael's Catholic Church[/caption] Brenda and I attended St. Michael's Catholic Church in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina on the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2018 which is the 34th Sunday in Ordinary time and the Sunday before Advent. It's The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.…

There can ONLY be one TRUTH to proper interpretation of Christian baptism. Christ meant it to be ONE way not several different ways. It often comes down to interpretation of scripture and whether there is an actual authority ( The Church ) to interpret scripture and not just the individual as guided by the Holy…

Many non-Catholic Christians think that Catholics don't know the Gospel. I think part of that comes from the ability to articulate the Gospel like many evangelicals have learned to do and also how evangelicals view salvation. SALVATION ( It's important because the Gospel points to salvation. ): Evangelical response: "I was saved at Bible camp…

Do you know the 5 solas which are also known as the 5 alone doctrines of the protestant reformation from the 1500's? Grace Alone Faith Alone Christ Alone Scripture Alone Glory To God Alone I found the following online, so I'll go a little deeper before coming back to CHRIST ALONE throughout this article and…

I was able to get into Called To Communion to ask a question. Click play below to hear my question and Dr. David Anders response.

I'm in my 50's and it appears that I will never stop learning. Even with being selective on commenting, I've still spent hours over the last 30 days making comments on YouTube videos. Here's What I've Learned: 1) As a general rule, it's a huge waste of time. I have had some fruitfulness come of…

Back in 2009, I met fairly regular with a Christian friend for coffee. We've remained connected on LinkedIn for years. Via LinkedIn messaging, on October 22nd, 2018, he wrote "David, when did you convert to Catholicism?" and I replied back "Started attending Catholic services January 2017. Both Brenda and I became Catholic Easter Vigil 2018"…

Mike Gendron is a former 30+ year Catholic that definitely does not see Catholics as true Christians. He puts the Catholic Church into the category of teaching another Jesus. That's interesting because in all my studies and all my attendance to 100 +/- Mass services at this point, I have NEVER discovered that or felt…

I'm leaving this article live but please also read: https://www.catholictransformation.com/time-management-youtube-commenting-is-not-the-best-use-of-time/ I currently like using YouTube comments to defend the Catholic faith. It's a great way to practice Catholic Apologetics, but can definitely take a lot of time if you are not careful. I don't know how long I will continue to engage some of these folks,…

It doesn't take long for any faithful Christian or even non-Christian who has respect for others to see that radical fundamentalist Baptist Pastor Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona is over the top. Although I'm not a fan of his attacks on, false teachings of and mockery of Catholicism. Pastor Steven…

Tim Staples, of Catholic Answers, recommended 10 books to me that I thought I'd share her for anyone wanting to take a deeper dive into Catholicism: 1. The Essential Catholic Survival Guide (Catholic Answers) 2. Behold Your Mother (Catholic Answers) 3. Answering Atheism (Catholic Answers) 4. Handbook of Catholic Apologetic (by Peter Kreeft and Fr.…

1 Peter 3:15 "but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence;" There are those who show respect and have a true desire to understand the Catholic…

I enjoyed this message and wanted to share it on Catholic Transformation for my own reference as well as the benefit of our readers.

Gabe The Street Preachers theology "looks" a lot like the teachings of ONENESS ( PENTECOSTALS ). Gabe rejects the doctrine of the Trinity. Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses also reject the Trinity which combined with ONENESS groups are the three largest groups that reject Trinity doctrine. Do you care about Gabe's theology? Should you care about…

[caption id="attachment_5312" align="aligncenter" width="950"] Yes, Catholics believe that one is SAVED by Grace through faith in Jesus. But it goes far deeper than Luther's view from the 1500's of faith alone.[/caption] According to the dictionary, a misnomer is a wrong or inaccurate use of a name or term. I think the Protestant use of the word…

Now that I have your attention with the headline of this article, is the headline "The Catholic Church Teaches A False Gospel And Is Not Christian" TRUE or FALSE? I'm a Catholic convert from a Pentecostal and Southern Baptist background with some of the Church of Christ sprinkled in. I do not believe the Catholic…

As someone who owns a combined total of hundreds of books, cd's, mp3's and pamphlets, I can without reservation say that the 4 resources above, which I will get back to in a moment, when used together are definitely a great start to understanding Catholicism and preparing to defend the Catholic faith. Keep in mind…

Before I get into this article, I'm going to briefly mention the sexual abuse issues that have recently come back into the media. I think it's appalling that a priest would do such things. I pray for the healing of those abused. I believe that anyone who committed such crimes, although they can be forgiven…

As a former protestant Christian, it seems that Mary was only really brought up around Christmas time during the Christmas narrative. Even then, there was not much emphasis at all placed on Mary, but I think most protestants do not get the true Catholic view of Mary. That would also include some current and former…

Brenda and I are headed on a cruise which is our grandest vacation of our 28 year marriage. We've been blessed to do a lot of timeshare vacations which have been nice for the most part, but going on a cruise is a notch or two above all of our other vacations. I said that…

There are many things that appealed to me about Catholicism the more I learned about not only Catholic teachings but the Christian faith as seen through the 2000 year history of the Catholic Church: At the end of verse 11 in John chapter 17 Jesus praying to the Father says "that they may be one, even…

Catholic Priest acts like a CLOWN / Preacher gives FINAL WARNING - Ash Wednesday LENT NOTE: I'll refer to my comments as "Author Comments" as author of this article and the guy speaking in the video as the "Street Preacher" since that's part of his YouTube name.

Mark 16:15 ....“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation." I had thought about writing a book and I still may do that someday. However, for now, I plan to focus on booklets that are around 64 pages in length that can be read in about an hour or maybe…

___________________________________________________________________________________________________ GOD WANTS MORE FROM YOU!   That's a bold statement above, but it's true. No matter where you are in your faith walk, God wants more from you. He's calling you but are you answering? When I say God's calling you, it could be any number of things that he's calling you to.

Although the context of this article is not a commentary of the verses, I cannot help but think of how it applies to modern day Christianity. Matthew Chapter 13 Verses 13-16 - "This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do…

Now that I have your attention with the title, where did I come up with 16.8 hours and does it really matter? I'll get to that in a moment. Being raised Pentecostal ( later becoming Baptist - Now Catholic ), I was brought up in the Pentecostal church with the teaching of 10% tithing which…
