This is part two of a three part post on paedocommunion that my friend Jon put together. Part one is here.  It’s the practice of allowing young children to partake in the Lord’s Supper. The usual disclaimers apply in that I didn’t write this, but I happen to think what he says has [...]

This is part one of a three part post on paedocommunion that my friend Jon put together.  It’s the practice of allowing young children to partake in the Lord’s Supper.  The usual disclaimers apply in that I didn’t write this, but I happen to think what he says has merit.  I’ve posted this as is, [...]

I hope you guys had an awesome 4th of July. You all had one, contrary to what some may believe. Only Americans celebrate the anniversary of their independence on this day.
I know it’s been a LONG time since my last post. I’ve been a busy little bee and not much [...]
