Carthage Must Be Destroyed

13 July 2023 By David Trounce

Carthage Must Be Destroyed - Sermo Humilis

Roman statesmen, Cato the elder (234–149 BC), had a problem. Carthage was flourishing, and when you're Rome, who wants to see that? In its day, Carthage, with its capital in what is now Tunisia, was a growing maritime power and had been slowly establishing colonies in various … [Read more...] about Carthage Must Be Destroyed

Lost and Found

9 April 2023 By David Trounce

Lost and Found - Alone - sermo humilis

It's the human condition. We are terrified by God, we are terrified by each other, and we are terrified by loneliness. It's the reason Jesus came into this world, and it's the reason we killed Him. It's also the reason we need Him. I read somewhere recently that “If you love … [Read more...] about Lost and Found

The Hounds of Love

5 January 2023 By David Trounce

The Hounds of Love - Sermo Humilis

Knox - Someone to Contend With-Sermo Humilis

Like the early church, the men and women of the reformation are remembered. They are remembered and read today because of what they said and did. To some they were a bright light, an exemplar of holiness. To others a damn nuisance. Either way, they are remembered because, like … [Read more...] about Someone to Contend With

Love Your Enemies

26 June 2022 By David Trounce

Love Your Enemies - Sermo Humilis

Unique to Christianity is the call to love our enemies. Love here, is not defined as a warm, runny feeling, but, like its use through most of scripture, is an aspect of charity. It's a "doing" word. A verb. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do … [Read more...] about Love Your Enemies

Thor's Oak

Around 723 AD, a missionary named Boniface entered Hesse in Germany. Upon finding a sacred tree named Thor’s Oak, he took an axe to it, cut it down and built a church.
