Welcome to the new sacredmusic.josephsowa.com!
After years of publishing my sacred and concert music on the same website, I decided to give my LDS church music its own website. By separating out the two genres, I hope to better serve the communities for whom I write.
Toward that end, I’ve started by posting five of my best/most recent arrangements on this site. In the coming months, I hope not only to post the remainder of my works, but also that this new website can be of service to church musicians, particularly those serving in LDS wards and stakes:
- I hope they can find and put more to use the music I’ve written.
- I hope to share blog posts highlighting quality works by other composers.
- I hope to pull back the veil on how music works and explain what makes the music I recommend quality.
- I hope to share seasonal programming suggestions.
- Most of all, I hope that the new site enables me to write more church music with greater frequency.
I started writing church arrangements as an undergraduate at BYU. I wrote church music as a way to take a break from the rigorous concert music I was writing for my degree and to serve in the church using my talents. Since then, I have come to believe that church music need not be simple to be reverent or trite to be easily performable.
I hope you’ll join me in the coming months and years as I share with you what I create and what I’ve learned. And I hope that by these things, we can invite the spirit of God more fully into our congregations.

A record crowd of nearly 125 people turned out to the ICC’s Oct. 13 annual brunch at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, giving a standing ovation to keynote speaker Sister Mary Johnson of the Sisters of Notre Dame.
The ICC hosts a brunch each year at the Holyoke landmark restaurant, inviting prestigious guests to offer their thoughts on Irish history, culture, politics and other topics of interest.
Sister Johnson spoke of her own Irish roots in Counties Mayo and Kerry, of the small towns where her parents were born and later left for economic opportunity in the United States.
A native of Springfield, Sister Johnson broadened the discussion to her thoughts on how and why Irish immigrants held on to their culture and values, at the same time moving to or visiting locales as far-flung as Africa, Australia, South America and North America.
“What is it about this small island of people to have had such a great impact around the world,” she said. “You can visit struggling countries around the world and find people from Ireland who go to help. They’re the first ones to come and the last to leave.”
Even the millions who left Ireland permanently made their mark, she said.
Ireland’s population peaked at more than 8 million in the 1840s, before the Great Hunger that killed more than 1 million and drove so many more away. Today there are 6.3 million Irish citizens, and another estimated 70 million with Irish roots who found other homes over the past 160 years.
Sister Johnson grew up in the Sacred Heart parish in Springfield. Her father James grew up in Ballydavid, Co. Kerry, fishing off the coast of Smerwick Harbor and moving to Springfield as a young man. Her mother grew up on the northeastern Belmullet Peninsula in Co. Mayo, moving to Holyoke as a young woman.
Her parents met at the old Tara Hall, married and settled in Springfield, raising herself and a sister, Margaret.
Sister Johnson is an accomplished author and scholar, with a PhD from Emmanuel College. She is a professor of sociology and religious studies at Trinity Washington University in Washington, D.C. She researches issues around Catholicism, particularly focusing on young adults and religious life. She has co-authored two books, ‘Young Adult Catholics: Religion in the Culture of Choice,’ and ‘New Generations of Catholic Sisters: The Challenge of Diversity,’ due out next year.
She told those gathered for the ICC brunch that in her years researching people in general, and young Catholics more specifically, she has long been struck by the spirit and determination of the Irish, wherever they have landed.
“The Irish kept their culture and values alive, by not letting them get swept away by the currents of the cultures where they went,” she said. “They nurtured the Irish language, music, dance, poetry, food and sport. It’s all about the bonds of family and friendship, bonds that are essential to the life of a community.”
The breakfast featured an opening prayer by Fulbright Scholar Síobhra Aiken, and a welcome from ICC Board of Director Sean Cahillane.

Knights of Columbus St. Virgilius Council 185 Newtown CT
St. Virgilius Council 185 in Newtown was founded in 1896 by a group of 33 men primarily of Irish decent. They chose to name the council after an Irish Monk by the name of St. Virgilius. St. Virgilius was born in Ireland the early 700’s. He was known as “the Geometer” because of his extraordinary knowledge of geography. He was a dedicated missionary priest who became a bishop in Germany where he spent 40 years converting people to Catholicism. He died on November 27, 784 and was canonized by Pope Gregory IX in 1233. His message was to “share his Faith with others” which made him an ideal choice as our council’s namesake.
The St. Rose of Lima Knights of Columbus Virgilius Council 185 proudly provides support through the following primary activities:

Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Saturday morning we headed to the church for our ward Christmas party. The boys were excited to see Santa again...
There were games and activities for the kids but mine, of course, chose to color the whole time...
Parker and I were Mary and Joseph in the Nativity...
The boys were shepherds, cutest shepherds ever...
After the party we drove to the Manassas train station to Ride the Train with Santa...
They were so excited to be on "daddy's train" (this is what Parker takes to work every day)...
Santa stopped to talk to each child on the very long and very crowded train...
After the train ride we left the kids home with a babysitter and headed out for some Christmas shopping! It was a fun day!

Job is a very remarkable and marvelous book. It is the first of the poetical books which also include Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, and Lamentations.
The reference “poetical books” denotes form rather than imaginative or capricious content. Neither does the term poetical mean that it is rhythmic.

KID’S R.O.C.K.—THE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY OF SARASOTA BAPTIST CHURCH
Welcome to Kids R.O.C.K. (Kids Relying on Christ the King) – Our mission is to join with families in connecting parents & their children to Jesus Christ. All that we do in programming & activities is done with that goal in mind. Here are some of our offerings:
SUNDAY MORNINGS — We encourage families to worship together at our 9am worship service.
At 10:30am, we offer community groups for children in grades 1 through 5 using a curriculum called 252 Basics produced by Orange (www.whatisorange.org). 252 Basics is built around three basic truths which Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52. They are:
- I need to make the wise choice.
- I can trust God no matter what.
- I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
These key concepts are taught as we study monthly a different life application — a quality of God’s nature that He instills in those who follow Him. We have a large group time of upbeat worship in music & teaching, followed by small groups for application & discussion. Parents receive a monthly “cue card” so they can continue the discussion at home. Children receive a “God Time” card to guide them through personal devotions that week.
GENERATIONS CHILDREN’S CHOIR is offered during the school year to involve children in the weekly worship experience of Sarasota Baptist Church. Practices are currently held on Wednesdays, 5:30 to 6:10 in the Garage. Kindergarten age children and older are welcome to join.
CHILDREN’S BAPTISM CLASSES are offered 4 times per year to help parents determine whether or not their child is ready to be baptized. This class is recommended for children in grades 1 – 5 & requires that a parent (or guardian) attend the class with the child. We answer the following questions about baptism: Why should I get baptized? When should I be baptized? How should I be baptized?
SUMMER ACTIVITIES—During the summer, activities such as a Music & Drama Camp, sports camp, fishing camp, Bible camp as well as family activities such as Family Night at the Selby Aquatic Club are offered. We anticipate offering similar activities this upcoming summer.
FAMILY ACTIVITIES—During the year we may offer special activities geared to the family such as a Family Festival on October 31, picnics, Snow Day in February, and movie nights.
We love to welcome visitors & see them become a part of our family. Come, join us, & let’s grow together as we learn to love God and to love others!
For more information, contact Barbara Deutschle.

in the beginning was the act
When Faust changes his translation of the beginning line of the Gospel (John 1:1) from “In the beginning was the Word” to “In the beginning was the Act” the poodle turns into Mephistopheles (the devil). It is difficult to comprehend at first glance what a change in attitude, what an expansion of consciousness the alteration of this one word can make. The lifelong scholar who has lived by words now embraces the world of action and finds a whole new dimension of life.
His lordship, Mephistopheles, announces himself as “part of the part which was once the whole.” This hints at the work that is to be the task for the rest of the story. Humanity’s original wholeness must be restored and reinstated. This cannot be accomplished by going back to an earlier stage of consciousness; to “go back” or romanticize the “good ol’ days”, a common political theme in American culture, usually marks the desire to avoid difficult times ahead, and of course it is always a lie, psychological disaster. You must go forward from the Garden of Eden, through the painful time of transformation, to the heavenly Jerusalem, which is a symbol for the wholeness of man restored.

Have a site and need to improve it?
Here is where Faithwebsites helps so many churches and Christian ministries. The biggest struggle in improving and maintaining a truly viable website these days is content.

John Piper and the Golden Calf of C.S. Lewis
May 16, 2013 03:07 PM PDT
John Piper's Desiring God National Conference 2013 will exalt C.S. Lewis with the title of this year's conference being: 'The Romantic Rationalist: God, Life, and Imagination in the Work of C.S. Lewis'. Is this more of the same from John Piper, as he has in recent years invited people like Rick Warren and Mark Driscoll; but does this represent something even worse? Paul discusses this and looks at the teaching and theology of C.S. Lewis. Was the theology of C.S. Lewis orthodox or heretical and outside of the faith once delivered? If his views were heretical, why are so many evangelicals worshipping this golden calf in the modern church?Are Images of Jesus Christ Forbidden in the Bible?
May 10, 2013 12:35 PM PDT
Paul will be discussing if Christians should ever use any representation or similitude of the Godhead? Why can such a practice, which is commonplace today, be such a danger to true worship? Why has it become popular? Are there double-standards within the church as we condemn Roman Catholic idolatry but freely practice it in the Evangelical Church? Paul will discuss these and other related issues.
"For in him [Christ] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature"
"All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him." --Luke 10:22
"To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven" --Acts 7:39-42Alfred Kinsey, The Sexual Revolution and the Same-Sex 'Marraige' Debate
April 24, 2013 04:03 PM PDT
Paul discusses the latest news about how France has become the 14th country to legalise Gay 'marriage' and the serious consequences on nation states who adopt these policies. How does God judge nations who call evil good and good evil? What should the Christian church do? What is the proper Biblical role of government? Who was Alfred Kinsey and how does his 'research' connect to the modern push for same-sex 'marriage'? Paul discusses these issues and other related topics.
"Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him." --Psalm 2:10-12
April 17, 2013 03:37 PM PDT
Paul looks at the adulation heaped upon the latest leader at the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. Was there any reproof for the disgraced institution that is a blight to Christ's church? Will any in this 'old boys club' have the moral fortitude to turn their backs on the god of numbers and peer adulation, as yet another abuse case is linked to the institution.
"Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness."
"No church did more to turn God’s houses across the land into cheap, carnal circuses than First Baptist Church of Hammond through the influence of its books, college, and annual Pastors Schools."
The Failures and Crimes of Modern Evangelism
April 03, 2013 04:08 PM PDT
Paul discusses many of the weeds in the gospel presentation of today and looks at many of the thorns that choke the Word of God in the modern church.
"And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit...And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."
March 20, 2013 05:40 PM PDT
Paul discusses early church history and asks from the pages of history, and those of the Bible, who really was the first pope? Can a pope be found in the Bible? The answers to these questions may surprise you.The New Jesuit Pope and the Moral Filth of the Vatican
March 13, 2013 04:34 PM PDT
Paul discusses the homosexual scandals that have surrounded the Vatican as of late, and also the election of the first Jesuit as pope in history.
"The General of the Jesuits, the 'Black Pope', is the real and only Pope. The one who bears the title is but a figurehead. It is the Jesuits' policy he pursues, their voice that speaks through him, their hand that guides him."
"And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
February 27, 2013 03:49 PM PST
Paul discusses the support given for the so-called "prophecies" of Malachy, the book of Enoch, 2012 theories, and other spurious works, among many professing Christians. He also looks at the Biblical reasons for, and the appropriate responses that any believer should give to, anything that diminishes from God's Glory.
"I am God, and there is none like me"
February 13, 2013 03:57 PM PST
Paul discusses the latest news permeating from Rome, declaring that Benedict XVI is resigning (the first Roman pontiff in 600 years to do so), as the media from all over the world flock to the woman on seven hills. Why should believers in Sola Scriptura be concerned with the treatment of the so-called prophecy of Roman Catholic “saint” Malachy, dealing with the last pope? What damage can be done, intentionally or unintentionally, to the faith once delivered unto the saints by giving it any credibility? Paul looks at these issues, and others, as many in modern Protestantism leave the door open to spurious prophecy of an unknown origin.The Church Has Abandoned the Narrow Way
February 07, 2013 02:50 PM PST
Paul discusses the new movie in the works for Megiddo Films, which will be a sequel to "Of Chaos and Confusion: The Modern Church" and will deal with the corruption of gospel preaching in modern times. Also discussed here is how the narrow way described by Matthew 7:14, has been largely abandoned by most churches, and how it has left the wide road to destruction for many professors of the Christian faith.
"I want you to know, my friends, salvation is by faith alone. It is a work of God. It is a grace upon grace upon grace. But the evidence of conversion is not just your examination of your sincerity at the moment of your conversion. It is the ongoing fruit in your life."
January 16, 2013 01:38 PM PST
Are there parallels between what is called the "church" today and the New Age Movement? Do claims made by the Charismatic movement come from the New Age Movement and the occult? Why do the claims made by modern Christians sound like claims made by occultists such as Alice Ann Bailey? How does the church depart from the man-centred gospel of today and return to the God-centred gospel preached by men of faith throughout history?
January 12, 2013 12:42 PM PST
Is there a Catholic influence in the latest Sherwood Pictures film? And if so, what does this mean for the future of this film ministry? Paul discusses these and other issues as he reviews the film 'Courageous'.

January 09, 2013 02:12 PM PST
Paul discusses how that the old paths of the Word of God will never be passed on effectively, generation to generation, if the Church does not enable and empower, by sound teaching, that great seminary of the minds of the future, the home or the family. It is also discussed how the role of the family has been diminished by the church and state alike.
"We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ's steps, and let the world say what it likes."
"In many areas of theology, there has been a stirring in the hearts of men to subject their beliefs and practices to the tenant of sola scriptura. However, the question still remains as to whether or not we will subject our view of the church and the family to this same principle. Any hope for a genuine reformation in our time will die in its infancy if we do not allow the Scriptures to permeate and govern every aspect of our lives."
"A family is the seminary of Church and State; and if children be not well principled there, all miscarrieth: a fault in the first concoction is not mended in the second; if youth be bred ill in the family, they prove ill in Church and Commonwealth; there is the first making or marring, and the presage of their future lives to be thence taken, Prov. 20:11. By family discipline, officers are trained up for the Church, 1 Tim. 3:4, One that ruleth well his own house, etc.; and there are men bred up in subjection and obedience. It is noted, Acts 21:5, that the disciples brought Paul on his way with their wives and children; their children probably are mentioned, to intimate, that their parents would, by their own example and affectionate farewell to Paul, breed them up in a way of reverence and respect to the pastors of the Church."
"The head of the family is to take care that none of the family withdraw himself from any part of family-worship: and, seeing the ordinary performance of all the parts of family-worship belongs properly to the head of the family, the minister is to stir up such as are lazy, and train up such as are weak, to a fitness to these exercises..."

Paul details why he believes the Jesuits are at the apex of most of the so-called “New World Order” activity of today and he details why Rome’s Counter-Reformation never ended. He also looks at the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati, which began life in 1776. This Order or shadowy group, according to some researchers, began a conspiracy against the Catholic Church. Are these researchers correct? And if they are how does this affect modern research?
“Jesuitism has poisoned the wellsprings of truth in the whole world.” --Thomas Carlyle, British historian (1795-1881)
"The Jesuits, who arrogated to themselves the title of "Companions of Jesus," and whose watchword was saintliness, were branded by their co-religionists as perjurers and murderers, and driven forth as unfit for civilised society. By their passion for domination and their moral laxity and double dealing, the Jesuits had incurred the wrath of Roman Catholics as well as Protestants; but one element which specially marked them out for the enmity, alike of monarchs and people, was their contempt for the principle of nationality. Of patriotism the Jesuits knew nothing, and national sentiment they despised, and this to at a time when in Europe, as the result of the break up of the holy Roman Empire, nation-making had made rapid progress."
"I feel more and more every day that it is not against the Americans of the South, alone, I am fighting, it is more against the pope of Rome, his perfidious Jesuits and their blind and bloodthirsty slaves. As long as they hope to conquer the North, they will spare me; but the day we route their armies, take their cities and force them to submit, then, it is my impression that the Jesuits, who are the principal rulers of the South, will do what they have almost invariably done in the past. The dagger or the pistol will do what the strong hands of the warriors could not achieve. This civil war seems to be nothing but a political affair to those who do not see, as I do, the secret springs of that terrible drama. But it is more a religious than a civil war. It is Rome who wants to rule and degrade the North, as she has ruled and degraded the South, from the very day of its discovery. There are only very few of the Southern leaders who are not more or less under the influence of the Jesuits through their wives, family relations, and their friends."
"Romanism is beginning to uncover its hand in America. It begins to be fearless, now that it is becoming natural. It is attempting to do here what it has achieved in Europe, to awe the state, control the people, and banish liberty."

"Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation is just like the Jesuits, he told a mostly-full Gaston Hall yesterday, “except we don’t insist on vows of poverty or chastity.”"
Paul discusses Fox News and its owner, the papal puppet, Rupert Murdoch.
Note: An error has come to my attention from this show. 2011 was not the first visit to the UK made by this current pope and there have been previous visits made by the papacy that date back to 1982. Apologies for any confusion caused.

A Week of Prayer – Monday
Join us today at 7:30 pm as we take time to pray for us as a community, our leadership, and our pastoral search committee.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts… – Psalm 95:6-8
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. – Colossians 3:16
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. – Hebrews 10:23-25
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” – Revelation 7: 9 – 12
Worship is an old English word for “worth-ship”. To worship God means to describe His worth, to say what makes Him worthy of praise, love, and obedience. Tell God why you adore Him.
Thank the Father for sending His Son. Praise Jesus for His perfect life, substitutionary death, and vindicating resurrection. Be thankful that the Holy Spirit applies to the work of the Son to our hearts and minds.
Praise God that Christianity is first and foremost about what He has done for us in Jesus Christ, not what we do for Him. Praise God for the love, justification, and adoption that we have because of the Gospel.
Thank God for the Bible where He reveals Himself to us, speaking most clearly about His will for our lives and not leaving us without guidance. Thank God for local churches – specially Pineland Baptist Church, our local spiritual family with whom we gather weekly to tell God how much we love Him and how much we need Him.
Thank God for the people who faithfully give of their time and money to serve and support Pineland Baptist Church.
Pray for our Sunday services to be a time of love for God and love for people.
Pray for our Sunday services to be lead with joy, peace, and mission as we focus on Jesus Christ, our Prophet, Priest, and King.
Pray for the PBC family to see Sunday services as an excellent opportunity to worship through preaching, singing, praying, giving, and serving.
Pray that the preaching of God’s Word—that it would be biblically careful and Holy Spirit saturated.
Pray that our prayers would be infused with biblical ambitions, honesty, and humility.
Pray that our songs would teach members to biblically confess, lament, and praise.
Pray for people to prioritize weekly attendance, not allowing other activities to distract from worshiping as the PBC family.
Pray that giving would be faithful, as well as joyful, consistent, and sacrificial.
Pray that the people who feel at home at Pineland to be sensitive to others who do not feel that way yet. Pray that we would be a caring, welcoming place for people to see who Jesus is and what it means to worship Him.

“Who am I that he would Love me?”
I woke up this morning feeling rested physically and empty on the inside, I was grateful the rested part.
I didn’t waste any time laying in bed however, because I knew Logan would be awake in less than ten minutes so I had to hurry if I wanted to get a shower for the day…
I quickly knelt and said a prayer and then jumped in the shower. I often continue to talk to Heavenly Father in my head as the morning gets started, (oh come on I know we all do that sometimes! Just because I’m depressed doesn’t mean I’m crazy!)
Anyways, as I was talking to him and asking him for help, a song came to my head.
I hadn’t thought of this song IN YEARS!
I grew up in an LDS (mormon) home. My mom bought these little videos called the Living Scriptures videos. Remember them? I LOVED THEM! My most favorite one was a Book of Mormon one called “The Savior in America”. As silly as they seem now I know they were crucial to helping me know Jesus Christ. I remember as a little girl, watching it and I knowing the Savior knew me and loved me.
I remember crying because I felt so much peace and light, specifically from this scene below.
This morning this song came to my mind as I showered and it filled the emptiness. I know that faith and prayer sometimes don’t fix depression. Not because they can’t, but because sometimes the Lord has things for us to learn before he’ll just take our problems away, but he CAN make our burden lighter. He can also guide us to the right help, he’s done that for me.
I was DELIGHTED to find the actual video on youtube, please enjoy!


The precursor of New Saint Andrews was a reading list. In the early 1980s, a few men of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, put together a list of classic books which they thought ought to be read by survivors of the government education system. The reading list germinated the idea for a college. The name New Saint Andrews was selected after its Scottish namesake, both the city and its great university, which had been instrumental in the Protestant Reformation in Scotland. For a number of years no degree program was offered. The College consisted of numerous evening classes offered on an irregular basis for adults who were not matriculating. The courses included Hebrew, Logic, Greek, and English grammar. In time the college came under the formal oversight of Christ Church.
The elders of Christ Church appointed a committee in 1993 to study the feasibility of starting an undergraduate, degree-granting classical Christian college. In the fall of 1994, New Saint Andrews opened her doors (actually the doors opened into a home belonging to one of the volunteer faculty members) to four full-time students meeting in a tiny dining room. In 1998, the College graduated its first class of two students.
Over the first eight years, the College met in various facilities, renting classroom and office space from local families and businesses, and renting Christ Church offices and classrooms. But with increased enrollment and the need for larger and more permanent facilities, the College purchased the historic Skattaboe Block on Moscow’s Friendship Square in October 2002 and moved into its “new” home in February 2003.
Today, the College has nearly 200 undergraduate and graduate students and employs over 20 faculty and staff. Its unique, limited enrollment model keeps faculty-student ratios low and provides for the highest levels of accountability among faculty and students alike. The College is accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and a member of the Association of Reformed Colleges and Universities.


'He is our'
Remind your friends and family who we're really celebrating at Christmas time with these contemporary Christian Christmas cards. He is our... Joy, Hope, Peace and King.
A set of 4 A6 gift cards (105x148mm or 4.1x5.8”) printed on 350gsm 100% recycled paper, using environmentally friendly inks and toner, including 4x lime C6 envelopes. All cards are blank inside.


We believe the church belongs to God and that the church is, in the words of the Apostle Paul, the body of Christ. The church is to be the physical presence of Christ in the world. As such, our primary aim is to do God’s will.
What does it mean to be a Methodist?
We believe in...
Making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world through welcoming, sharing and caring for each other and out community.
We live by two kinds of holiness: Personal & Social
We follow three simple rules... 1) Do no harm. 2) Do good. 3) Stay in love with God.
We work in four areas of focus:
1) Developing leaders 2) Creating places for new people 3) Eliminating poverty 4) Improving health globally
-- We are the people ofThe united Methodist Church--


Martin Luther decried the doctrine of doubt in his day saying, "It is intolerable to declare in Christendom that we cannot and must not know whether God is gracious to us."
Instead, Luther points us to the firm assurance found in Christ alone when he writes, "He who wants to be saved and go to heaven when he dies must think and say: 'Have mercy on me, gracious God. I am a poor, sinful being who has merited nothing but wrath. But whether my life was good or evil, I know that I need not doubt that I was baptized and named a Christian for the remission of sins; that Christ my Lord was born, suffered, died, and was raised from the dead for me; that He gave me His holy body and blood as food for the strengthening of my faith; and that I have been absolved and relieved of my sin in the name and by the power of Christ.' Such a heart and such a faith cannot fare adversely or be lost any more than God’s Word can fail or be false. This I can guarantee you, since God Himself guarantees it to you through His Word" (Luther's Works, Vol 24, p.222).
We will find nothing but doubt, darkness, and doom when we look to our own goodness and works in order to obtain salvation. When we are focused on God's mercy in Christ, then the confidence of our salvation is as firm as Christ is gracious.


Calvinism isn’t Cool.
Calvinism isn’t cool.
I am a Calvinist. That doesn’t mean that I am a devout follower of a dead theologian who wrote some good books. In fact, I haven’t read a whole lot of John Calvin’s works. I am, however, a follower of Jesus Christ, who holds to some doctrines that some call “Calvinism”. I prefer to use the term, “doctrines of Grace”, but for the sake of this note, I will use the word Calvinism. Basically what that means is that I believe God is sovereign over ever single thing that happens in our universe, including our salvation. Yes there are calls in scripture for us to have faith, repent, believe in Jesus and obey Jesus, but it is also clear in scripture that God is the author behind all of this. “No one comes to the Father unless God draws them.”-Jesus. God is in control of salvation and only those whom He predestined for His glory will end up putting their faith in Christ. And whether you agree with these doctrines or not we should agree that there is something wrong with many people who hold to these doctrines. And that is this, they think being a “Calvinist” or being “reformed” is cool. They don’t just believe these doctrines to be true, they think it’s cool. And I am one of them. But it’s not “cool”. There was a lot of blood sweat and tears put into these doctrines by our forefathers. If it wasn’t for their hard work, who knows whether or not we would still have them. Calvin, Luther, Augustine, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Lloyd Jones and many others put countless hours into preaching these truths and defending these truths, and it wasn’t so that we could be the cool kids of Christianity. We probably all know someone who is like this. They have the occasional beer, smoke the occasional cigar, all while quoting dead theologians and marvelling at the sovereignty of God. Not only that, but we have T-shirts. We get tattoos that somehow incorporate the five points of grace or the five Solas of the Reformation. We have rap artists. We have that look we give our Calvinist friends when we hear a reference to predestination in our favourite reformed rap song. We have memes on the internet that generally poke fun at our Arminian brothers. We love to use our freedoms in Christ to have a good time. We love to read Calvinistic authors and talk about what we read. But sadly it is not always for the sake of our edification, it is often because we think it’s cool. We love hanging out with fellow Calvinists and keeping these glorious doctrines to ourselves instead of pleading with our brothers and sisters and reasoning with them from scriptures. Why? Because it’s cool to hangout with other Calvinists. But Calvinism isn’t cool. It was never about being cool. It was never about the right to drink a beer, smoke a cigar, get a tattoo, getting our own t-shirts, making our own memes etc. The Doctrines of Grace are some of the most amazing, breath taking doctrines of the entire Bible(when properly explained and understood). These doctrines have changed us and helped us to see a side of God that many of us once refused to see. Our eyes have been opened to see His sovereignty and His glory like we never saw them before. We have seen the depths of His love and the riches of His grace explode off the pages of scriptures. And we sit around and talk about how great it is to be reformed. In the book of Ephesians, Paul talks about seeking to understand the breadth, length, height, and depth of the love of Christ. And he instructs us to do this TOGETHER. I truly believe that the doctrines of grace help us to see the depths of the love of Christ. So let’s stop getting together and talking about how cool Calvinism is and let us search together with our Calvinist and non-Calvinist brothers alike, and explore the word of God together. There is no room in Christianity for “the cool kids”. Every follower of Christ is entitled to the deep doctrines of the Bible, some just need your help to see them in the scriptures. So together, let’s stop being cool. If we really believe that these doctrines are life changing then we are obligated to discuss them with those who hold to a different view. Let us invite them to our hangouts, let us discuss and debate with them. It’s not about being cool, it’s about being faithful to the scriptures and seeking together to search the depths of Gods love. I know it’s going to take me a while to apply this to my life, but I will try. I hope you will join me.

Does this lead you to disbelieve the rest of what they taught? Or more recently, the whole reason the Southern Baptist Convention exists is that they broke with the rest of the Baptist church over the issue of slavery. And in fact it is only in the last 12 months that they have issued a formal apology to African Americans over the historic stance of their church.
It’s what abused girls and women are told to do by their male masters. Apparently, Romney refused to go on The View because he was afraid to confront “sharp-tongued” women who are free to speak their minds and challenge male authority. I think the patriarchal, sexist attitudes of Mormons, the kind of attitude that tells children to keep sweet no matter how much they are abused and denied their rights, played some part in the Elizabeth Smart case.
In the Catholic church they do what’s called “convalidations” of civil or non-Catholic marriages. However, there are still rules and requirements–like pre-cana–and each parish has different rules for when they will do them. Not all priests will perform a convalidation for a marriage that was performed outside the church without a good reason.
https://emusicapremiademar.org/informacio We are told not to add things to our worship which are not found in God’s word and which do not contribute to understanding and spirituality. But we have learned that instruments contribute neither to understanding nor to spirituality, but in fact they hinder both. Therefore, by studying other New Testament passages, we conclude that neither PSALLO/PSALMOS nor any other words authorize the use of instruments in New Testament worship.
If people want to learn about REAL Mormonism then they should go to LDS.org or Mormon.org You’re not gonna find what true Mormonism is from an article an anti-Mormon wrote. I, for the sake of my life here on Earth, as I believe everyone should recognize, is that it’s obvious that everyone has their own beliefs, values and practices. Number one to survive in this life is to respect one another and to accept that everyone is unique. We are here to be good to one another and make the world a better place.
May I suggest that you do a little research of Morman History? The author of this article has clearly done unbiased research. Im not saying just believe what he wrote, im saying investigate it yourself. To be quite honest they are accurate in their claims and by you ranting against them makes you look terribly uneducated on the very thing your ranting about.
Then he applies the command to themselves and to the flock. Then he gives them four incentives to throw themselves into this work with the same dedication he did. Ok, can you please tell me where you got this information, because many of the things you said are false.
It doesn’t take much to give some needed encouragement or offer them some hope. Jesus, the man who came to make a way to save mankind, did not hesitate to serve others. When He met the needs of the people, they would talk with Him about their spiritual needs. Jesus offered a special Hope they had not experienced before. When Jesus came to earth and lived among the people, He showed how much he loved them.
The great part is since it’s a social network, you can collaborate on music tracks with others. This is a great way to get your members involved in creating the perfect church music to engage them. Hymnary.org introduced a new tool called FlexPresent in April 2020 to help churches struggling with a new norm during COVID-19. However, the tool will continue to provide free access to music and lyrics for conducting church online.


I still struggle with this verse and it's meaning, I see it used by Cults and ism's to support various beliefs.
"And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." 1 Cor. 15:28
Is it saying "God may be all in all" as in we will see the Trinity reigning? (hope that makes sense) or that God will have put down all rebellion, as a result God is in all (everyone). I lean towards the first because of the context. Maybe I've missed the mark altogether? Supporting scripture sure would be nice.
This verse appears to be the culmination and end of:
"yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. 1 Cor. 8:6"
And if we want further biblical elaboration, we can turn to Rev. chapters 21-22 and glean whatever we can glean.
I'll add one more related passage:
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." Eph 1:18-23


Lord, Jesus, You are the True Vine and I am a needy branch. You are my sustainer, my provider. My source of power and strength. You enable me to flourish and grow. Apart from You, I recognize that I can do nothing of any eternal value (John 15:5). I’m so grateful that by Your grace and through the indwelling of Your Spirit, I am a new creation, purposed to bear abundant, good fruit. Remind me daily that You are my source of Living Water. Pour your sustaining power into every nook and cranny of my being. Refresh me with Your presence. Guide me with Your wisdom. Teach me your ways, Lord God, so I may know You and be fruitful in every good work.

Perspective is a study of the creation story merged with the golden ratio. It is a 36"x24" mixed media piece on a wooden panel.
On the first day,
God created light in the darkness.
On the second,
He created the sky.
Dry land and plants were created
on the third day.
On the fourth day,
God created the sun, the moon
and the stars.
Water and sky animals were made
on the fifth day,
On the sixth day,
land animals and people were created.
On the Seventh Day, God rested.
To ponder: If the sun wasn’t created until the fourth day, what is a day? How can we as mortal, limited creatures comprehend the creator’s understanding of a day? How has our understanding of a day skewed our perspective of creation?

The manuscript contained in this binding was undoubtedly written around 930 AD and may have come from Stavelot or Reims. The upper plate of the binding now appears to be a composite. There are three elements, which date back to three different periods. The centre is occupied by Notger's ivory, which is dated to the end of the 10th century. There are eight enamels around this, which date back to the 1160s. Four gilded and engraved 15th-century lenticular plates are inserted in the interstices. The gospel comes from the collegiate church of Saint John the Evangelist of Liège, of which Bishop Notger (980–1008) was the founder. The ivory is the most remarkable element of it. We see Christ in majesty during the Apocalypse, giving out blessing with his right hand; these are inscribed in a mandorla that encircles the symbols of the four evangelists. In the lower register, preceded by a cathedral, a figure, presumably the patron, bends his knee and holds a codex in hand; an aedicula stands on the right, sheltering an altar. The peripheral inscription reads: "And I, Notger, overwhelmed by the weight of sin, here I am bending the knee, before You who can move the universe with a gesture". The kneeling figure could, therefore, be the bishop giving his gospel to his congregation. One wonders, however, why, if Notger was indeed the patron of the ivory, he was depicted with a halo. Some, instead, have viewed this character as King David. Like the Oxford ivory to which we can compare it, the style of the symbols seems to refer to the time of Notger and belong to the continuation of earlier Metz ivories. The eight champlevé enamel plaques are typical of the Mosan style. They depict allegorical figures of virtue (Courage, Justice and Temperance) and the four rivers of Paradise (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, Euphrates). The characters are distinguished by their animation and a strong use of red enamel, which is generally used in a more sparing way. The lenticular plates are chiselled with shredded foliage, in a style that characterises the Gothic goldsmith work of the 1400s.
Manuscript: Reims or Stavelot, around 930 AD/Ivory: Mosan region, early 11th century/Enamels: Mosan region, around 1160/Engraved plates: 15th century/Binding: Liège, early 17th century and late 19th century

When it comes to the Catholic Church’s teaching on Mary, many of our non-Catholic brothers and sisters find the position What do Catholics believe about Mary book hold regarding Mary difficult to accept.
Namely, the Immaculate Conception, Mary as “Mother of God”, and the Assumption of Mary into Heaven and her Coronation as Queen. However, this difficulty mainly stems. What Do Catholics Actually Believe About Mary.
The Catholic Church has always celebrated Mary. Everything we believe leads us closer to Jesus. What Catholics believe about Mary can be summarized in 5 key teachings: Theotokos: Mary is the Mother of God.
Perpetual Virginity: Mary was a virgin before, during, and after the birth of Jesus. We do not believe that Mary was married after she brought forth her Son, because we do not read it You [Helvidius] say that Mary did not remain a virgin. As for myself, I claim that Joseph himself was a virgin, through Mary, so that a virgin Son might be born of.
1. Do Catholics simply believe Mary was preserved from original sin, or do they believe it was a necessity since she was to be the mother of Christ. If the latter, then if Mary could herself be born from a mother infected with original sin and yet still be preserved as pure, wouldn’t that mean Christ could have been born in a similar fashion.
What do Catholics believe about Mary. Mary is honored as first among the saints because she is the mother of God and the mother of the Church.
We believe Mary was conceived without sin (meaning, she didn’t have the stain of original sin), and that God preserved her from sin so that she could be a perfect vessel to bring his son into the world. This image of Mary as the Ark of the Covenant is an indicator that Mary would fittingly be free from all contagion of sin to be a worthy vessel to bear God in her womb.
And most importantly, just as the Old Covenant Ark was pristine from the moment it was constructed with explicit divine instructions in Exo so would Mary be pure from the. Catholics believe Mary's soul still "magnifies the Lord" for Christians of our generation who choose to relate to her.
Currently, Catholics are pretty well the only ones upholding the biblical prophecy to call her blessed, which was intended for all generations, and for all Christians. The basic meaning of “holiness” is “set-apart-ness”, the sense that something is not ordinary.

Catholics are, first and foremost, Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Catholicism shares some beliefs with other Christian practices, but essential Catholic beliefs include the following: The Bible is the inspired, error-free, and revealed word of God.

I believe What do Catholics believe about Mary book the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead. Many people, Catholics included, wrongly believe that this dogma refers to the conception of Jesus the Immaculate Conception doctrine states that Mary, "in the first instance of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace granted by God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved exempt from all stain of original sin.".
1) Do Catholics believe Mary died a virgin. Or do they believe the Bible when it mentions Jesus' brothers and sisters. False dichotomy. They believe both. In addition, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Church, and several Protestant sects believe both.
It's an understandable mistake (on your part) to make, though. Catholics believe that worship is due to God alone.
Catholics do, however, venerate Mary. In other words, we honor our Blessed Mother with great reverence and devotion because she is the Mother of God. Mary is the model of perfect love and obedience to Christ. God preserved Mary from sin, and she conceived our Lord by the power of the Holy.

We do believe in the final coming of Christ at the end of the world, and that there will be a final judgement at that time, after which all of humanity will reside either in Heaven or in Hell. I don’t know how “literally” we take the battle scenes - I think they are intended to depict spiritual battle; not actual guns and knives, etc.

Another example is Roman Catholic teaching on Mary, “the blessed virgin.” The Bible certainly teaches that Mary showed exemplary faith when the angel Gabriel announced to her that she would be. Do Catholics ever pray to God. Yes. Constantly. And every mass is a prayer to God.
Catholics also have many forms of prayer and devotion. Some formal, some not-so-formal. Do Catholics pray to the Mary and the Saints. Yes, because prayer (in itself) is not worship, and death has no power over those in Christ.

Why do Catholics continue to believe in it. True, the words "Mary was without sin" cannot be found in the Bible. However, one will not find the direct wording of "Mary was with sin" either.
