The local church is more than a weekly gathering-its a family to join, a temple to build, a body to serve, and a bride being made ready for Christ.

Langley draws on years of pastoral ministry and practical experience to walk readers through the process of finding, evaluating, and joining a local church-not just as attendees, but as devoted members of Gods household.

A prophecy... An assassination... And a fate shaped in the shadows of the Cold War.The gunshot that rang out in St. Peters Square in 1981 did not target just one man. That moment was the trigger point of a world scenario written under the shadow of prophecies, ideologies, and intelligence agencies.Was the Third Secret of Fatima a mystical message concealed for years, or the greatest psychological weapon of the Cold War? What meaning did the secret negotiations between the CIA, the KGB, and the Vatican assign to the words penned by Sister Lucia?In this book, sealed with blood, history is rewritten. A whisper echoing through the dark tunnels of the Kremlin is heard in the top floor of the White House. And in between stands a single man: Aca.This book is not just a story; it is also a journey questioning the boundaries of truth, faith, and time.Are you ready?

God has always used marriage to describe the relationship He has with us and in some instances, He has referred Himself as the bridegroom and we the bride. To the Israelites he said they are betrothed to Him forever as a symbol of their covenant that bound them to God. We are the Israelite, the called and the chosen one. Now that we are joined with Him, how can we take the same body and join a harlot? We are the temple of God, the spirit of God in a man is the temple not built by hand. As the true worshipper of God, worship Him in spirit and in truth and not just in a geographical location. On this note a lot is expected from us children of God to keep our body holy within and without. God has admonished us through the Epistle of Apostle Paul for us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers as that will frustrate our walk in Christ as two cannot walk together except, they agree and light and darkness has nothing in common. Jesus Christ has made it possible for our body to become the indwelling of the Holy Spirit after his death on the cross and the coming down of the Spirit of God upon man. Every other sin we commit is outside the body but the sin of adultery and fornication is within the body and is like one destroying the temple and the dwelling place of the holy Spirit. God Himself is the one that will personally supervise this sin against oneself and He does not take it lightly.

In the first quarter of the twenty-first century, numerous Catholics, having rediscovered the treasures of tradition that pioneers of the Liturgical Movement such as Dom Prosper Guéranger savored and sought to disseminate, are now casting about for explanations of what exactly happened in the upheavals of the 1960s-why so many things were changed so drastically, and who was responsible for it. Naturally, the sources for such research are abundant, but many are poorly known or hard to come by. A case in point is the present work, The Mass in Transition. Jesuit Father Gerald Ellard was a famous popularizer of the best ideas of the Liturgical Movement-whether in fact they turned out to be for the best or otherwise. His work is largely forgotten today because of the tsunami of change that overtook not only the unsuspecting laity but also many lower-level liturgists, who, if they were not part of the innermost circles, could hardly have dared to believe the magnitude of the revolution in Catholic worship that was about to come, leaving behind a mountain of suddenly outdated literature. Fr. Ellards book is a fine specimen of the kind of detailed commentary specialists of the 1950s were writing in order to prepare clergy and laity for the advent of what they perceived as long-overdue and hard-won revisions to the Mass (not to mention much else in Church life). First published in 1956, the year when Pius XIIs restored Holy Week came into effect, The Mass in Transition presents with admirable forthrightness the agenda of a mid-century American liturgist, an agenda he attributes, with varying degrees of plausibility, to a succession of popes from Pius X through Pius XII. It is thus a valuable historical witness from which we can learn a great deal about the state of discussion, the expectations, the prejudices and errors, that together served as preconditions for revolution. Slowly and thoughtfully the Church has acted. Changes have come into being; others are being considered. For man years Father Ellard has observed the growth of the liturgical reform with an expert eye. His earlier work, The Mass of the Future . . . has been completely rewritten and retitled The Mass in Transition. Starting with the simplification of the calendar, the Rubrics for the Mass, and the Breviary, Father Ellard immediately places the reader in the midst of the whole movement. . . . He notes the interest of other churches in Catholic ritual reforms, giving excerpts from writings of Protestants interested in a service similar to the Catholic Mass. A highly competent, thorough report on the contemporary situation. -from the original 1956 dust jacket

Chanreiso Lungleng offers a favourable insight into the motivation and concerns of Jonah. This monograph pivots on the significance of Jonah 4.2 with the contention that the allusion to Exodus 32-34 unveils Jonahs motive-zeal for Gods glory-which is otherwise assumed in the narrative.Although the book of Jonah has received much attention in recent years-with many describing Jonah using terms such as bigoted nationalist, chauvinist, jingoist, anti-prophet, satirical comic character, hypocrite, and others-Lungleng argues that Yahwehs attribution of the virtue of pity to Jonah in Jonah 4.10 provides a key insight into Jonahs character.Lunglengs fresh exploration of Jonahs character against the backdrop of Exodus 32-34, leads to several interesting discoveries. Collectively, these insights form a coherent exposition of this prophetic book. This provides the foundation for understanding that Jonahs interactions with Yahweh and other characters in the narrative are motivated by a concern for the defence of Gods glory.And yet where Jonahs zealous concern is for maintaining Gods reputation, Lungleng interprets the interchange with Yahweh, as divine guidance to Jonah that Gods glory is most radiantly revealed in showing compassion-even to Nineveh, a Gentile city-rather than in the protectionist approach of the prophet.
