The Early Church II-3: Apostolic Succession
We'll now move backwards in time and go along a simultaneous track in history [in regards to II-2]. We'll look at the early Church from a different angle at the Church as she developed, namely the office of bishop. We discussed in Part I that the office of bishop was the highest office in the local Church. While absolute agreement among all bishops is very rare, they did in fact communicate with each other regularly and sought the advice of elder churches. Their concord and meetings with one another on important issues was a tradition kept from the time of the Apostles in the Council of Jerusalem.

Heavenly tearsJust keep on pouring
Oh, heavenly tears
Bring me wisdom
Let me God be near

As holy rain of love
From above they come
May they erase all fear
Make all troubles run far off

Cover my tired face
In huge waterfalls of tears
Across my pale cheeks
Let rivers of revelation and truth appear

Take away all that is sinful
And send rightousness with me on my way
Wash my face with your blessed rain
Cleanse my soul with your holy blood

Through these pure tears
I will still remember your great name
To you, God Almighty
I will never say goodbye

Tears of struggle
Tears of joy
Tears of relieve
Because I am to you dear

May they all somehow lead me to myHeavenly tears by ~birduncaged

The Early Church II-2: The Lapsed and Martyrs
The 'Martyrdom of Polycarp' is a powerful example of how Christians regarded martyrs and the practices that surrounded those who were martyred. We'll recall what was said of blessed Polycarp: “Of the elect the most wonderful Polycarp was certainly one—an apostolic and prophetic teacher in our times, and a bishop of the Catholic Church at Smyrna” (sec. 16).

How, then, could problems arise from such courageous and promising examples of our faith? Justin Martyr said of martyrdom, “He who denies anything [of our Catholic faith], either denies it because he has condemned it, or shrinks from confessing it, because he knows The Early Church II-2: The Lapsed and Martyrs by ~TESM

The Early Church II-1: The Martyrs
Prologue

Last time we examined the message of Christianity and how it was presented to both Jew and Gentile. The message of Christ was a message of dignity, divine sonship and daughterhood, and a noble mission, namely the salvation of all in the name of Christ Jesus.

This, however, came with many difficulties. There were many who refused to hear the message. Others simply saw God as one among many appropriating what was profitable to them in the Christian message. Others reacted violently. Of these three, it may seem strange to hear that the second problem, corrupted teaching, was actually the most destructive to the Church. While there werThe Early Church II-1: The Martyrs by ~TESM

Vine and the Branches by ~wingedalchemist2961
His Princess Warrior: An AMAZING Book.This is the second book I've gotten from Sheri Rose Shepherd and it is amazing. I'm only on the 62 page and this book has changed my life. I haven't read the book page to page, cover to cover. I've read one chapter at a time, and only sometimes when I feel that I need to. What warms my heart is every single time I pick this book up, the chapter that I'm on speaks to me to where I am at that moment. This book....it's amazing. There's one particular chapter I want to share.

"Get Up"

My Princess Warrior,

The greatest battle you may ever fight is the fight to forgive yourself. Remember, My beloved, all My chosen ones had to get up and receive His Princess Warrior: An AMAZING Book. by ~Twilightlover2007
Standing Up With God!Last night I feel like I was attacked by a demonic power. I was given feelings and thoughts that I know are not mine. I know now that it was the devil trying to get rid of me. Guess what devil, you should be scared. Because God's got a plan for me that's going to kick you so hard you'll be lucky if there's anything left of you. I know my purpose in life is to raise children up into knowing who God truly is, a loving, faithful God who's always with us. I will raise up an army that will crush you, will crush your allies, and will stand by Jesus' side in VICTORY over you and every dark power. Yeah, you can't touch God's children. God has blessedStanding Up With God! by ~Twilightlover2007
My TestimonyThis is something I wrote to indicate how I felt 6 years ago. I wasn't a very happy person and life didn't have any pleasure for me at all. I wasn't depressed, I just didn't see the point in life - you're born, you grow up, you have children and then you die - Whoopidoo.  It just seemed a bit futile to me I guess, having no real purpose and having a meaningless existence. I wanted to really live a meaningful life and it didn't matter to me if I became the most successful and richest person in the world - that still wouldn't give me meaning, that still wouldn't satisfy me.

So I wasn't happy. And then my mom decided she wanted us all to start My Testimony by ~saykha

I heard some things about God back when I was young
but it was all a mystery
Now that I'm older I can see so much clearer
that God sent Jesus to rescue me

(Now) I walk His way, won't hesitate
to show love to all the hypocrites that come my way
Thank God that I am saved, now I can praise
So now we'll say, we'll say

Let Him Be Your Wings(4/18/2013)

_______________________________________________________________________

[1st Verse]

So many days passing through the rain
So many struggles just to bottle in the pain
But as you can see, the sun still rises

So let yourself shine out

Let the Lord lift the weight from your shoulders
Your winters could be colder, so fight for another spring
Let His light shine in through your window
Wipe away your sorrows and let your heart sing

Don't you worry, listen for His voice, make a choice
Will you stay grounded or will you lift your head up high?
Dear child, how will you know if you don't try?
Let Him be your wings and you will fly

[2Let Him Be Your Wings by ~Jazzy-C-Oaks
As A Little Butterfly In His HandsAmazingly made
By your love and grace
Acccuratly painted in beautiful colors
Displayed in numerous ways, patterns and shapes

They are carefully created
With the creative touch of your mighty hand
Brushed by your pencil
Given life by your will

Sometimes they sit relaxed on a flower
Taking in their sorroundings in a rainy shower
As sun beams hit them from above
They shine as they watch the blessed rainbow you sent
As a reminder of the covenant made

Next thing they are flying high up in the air  
Fluttering with wings thin as silk paper
Elegantly they soar on heaven
Such a tiny being on the blue sky
Yet, lit up by your divine light

recoveryall the stars sang out
they sang for and over me
but i never heard

my ears were locked shut
inside a womb of hatred
the choice was not mine

my eyes sought beauty
but they were sealed in darkness
now they see dimly

angels carried me
from place to place of unease
my pardon came late

darkness swallowed me
but i walked in angel wings
not a foot was scratched

now i rest and eat
on my own and living well
but then loneliness...

my memories now
match haunting dreams of back then
when nothing was safe

i sing with the stars
the holy air pulses through
as my body breathes

i welcome spotlights
and embrace this gift within
my footsteps fade fast

The Rosary: Not a Vain RepetitionWhen instructing people on how to pray, Jesus said this:
Matthew 6:5-13
5 And  when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But  thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut  thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
