David Finds Peace in the Forgiveness Given by God
"Son of man, can these bones live?" Psalm 51 highlights for us the grace of God that calls sinners to repentance for eternal life. Despite David's actions, God did not forsake David but came to him calling for repentance.

Luther and Baptism
A piece someone sent me, dated from 1523, of a baptismal service which Luther translated into German and modified. It does indeed have the exorcism in it. This would have been written six years after the 95 Thesis (31 October 1517). While it seems long for a baptism, remember that baptsims were often done outside the church service proper. Luther speaks not of making a joke of the exorcism, but that those attending the baptism be mindful of the serious nature of sin. Luther also says, in his explanation, that many of the external elements could be left out, but he retained them for the sake of weak consciences. Maybe today it would be better to leave the exorcism OUT for the same reason. Do those who reinstate the exorcism also apply the mud and spittle? One should note the context of Luther when he did something, and often his reason. Sometimes it wasn't a Scriptural reason, but a matter of exercising Christian freedom and avoiding offense.

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Catholic "picture" with symbols. The crown of thorns around the Heart of Jesus means that our sins hurt Him; the wound is made by His enemies; the flames are His burning love for us; and the cross is our redemption. This article is about the history of this devotion.
