The End of Darkness

The Reason? For some time Syria and the breakaway ten northern tribes of … [Read more...] about The End of Darkness

The Little Foxes

25 September 2022 By David Trounce

Those Little Foxes - Sermo Humilis

It's the little foxes, said Solomon, who ruin the vineyard (Song of Solomon 2:15). This saying is true and worthy of all acceptance.

Two men are walking through an art gallery admiring a famous painting by Friedrich Moritz August Retzsch called, "Checkmate". In the painting, a man is playing chess with the devil.

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.
