EUCHARIST: Is this God?
By Dave Armstrong

I held aloft a golden chalice, gazing upwards at it, performing one of the central liturgical rituals of the Mass, in which the consecration of the wine takes place. But my attitude was not one of reverence or solemnity. I possessed neither the eyes of faith, nor the traditional Christian understanding of the Blessed Eucharist. I was not standing at an altar, let alone in a church. Nearby, my friend and frequent evangelistic partner was neither kneeling, nor bowing his head, nor making the sign of the cross. He was chuckling. Click here for full story...

Scenario #2 What A Difference 10 Years Makes

 

Veronica just attended her 10-year high school class reunion. At this reunion, she renews a friendship with someone she used to call her "bosom friend." After the reunion, they begin corresponding by email. The bosom friend, encouraged by the depth she senses in her old buddy, starts telling Veronica about new insights she has discovered about the spiritual life.

Veronica wants to help her friend find Christ, but isn't sure where He fits in -- her friend's comments are peppered with a lot of half truths, and she has some confused ideas that sound like they have a New Age flavor. On the other hand, this New Ager never before showed any interest at all in spiritual matters, and Veronica doesn't want to risk putting the damper on this fervor. She just isn't sure where to begin. What should she do? What would you do?
