Sometimes Stars Leave Behind Great Mysteries
December brings to mind not only snow, but celebrations, mistletoe, lights, gifts, and a host of memories wrapped around the experiences associated with Christmas. Many often forget the spirit of these celebrations. Jesus Christ not only made his mark on the history of human civilization, he also left behind an influential religion of the mind, containing mysteries hidden inside the depths of Christianity whose answers still await discovery. Maybe, a more real Jesus will give us a better appreciation of his miraculous birth. Scholars are still discovering answers that only hint at the answers waiting in the ruins of ancient Rome.

Apology (Part 35): Article XXVII (XIII), Of Monastic Vows
A timely article, as the focus of the themes Melanchthon addresses seem appropriate for today and the scandal in the Roman church. Melanchthon spells out how monastic vows are contrary to nature, contrary to God's law, and contrary to Scripture.

Apology (Part 7): Reply to the Arguments of the Adversaries
Melanchthon addresses his adversaries on the roles that Law and Gospel play in the Christian's life. Melanchthon takes the reader back to Scripture to define the separation and to show where his adversaries err. He also points out the original ascetics lived their lives not to fulfill the Law, but that they believed they were saved by faith alone.
