Procession of the Trinity

Some try to rationalize and fall into error by declaring a type Tritheism, or even Modalism. However, the persons of the Trinity are three persons of one essence.

The Incarnation and the New Law of Grace

A way of living, or new law of grace, shows us a deeper understanding of the law. It shows us how it was supposed to be lived from the beginning, and the divine Son of God, showed us how to live it.

What is Actual Grace?

Actual grace is that grace that assists us in our daily lives. It inspires us and guides our minds to focus on the things of God and assists us on our journey to the beatific vision.

What is the Deuterocanon? with Gary Michuta

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-t5hxp-bc6840

In this episode Gary Michuta and I discuss the Deuterocanon.  Those are the books that appear in Catholic Bibles, but are missing from Protestant ones.  Gary gives some insight to why they deserve to be in the canon, when they were first disputed, and a couple tips we can all use to show that they are inspired.  Check out Gary’s daily radio program titled Hands On Apologetics on Virgin Most Powerful radio.  His website handsonapologetics.com is full of great material to help defend your faith, and check out his books on garymichuta.com

Instruments of Grace

The sacraments are instruments of grace because they were established by Christ to convey grace. He is the instrument through which the sacraments convey grace.
