Testimonies

We got this camper and it was so inexpensive and and only put in a couple more hundred to fix it up. We weren't sure if we needed this camper to live in because we are going through a bankruptcy and were not sure if the house that we were working on would be finished. Thank you for all the materials and the talent that Our Lord provided!!

In Part 2, Fr. McCarthy uses the Nagasaki bombing, where an all Christian bombing crew led by a Catholic commander dropped the atomic bomb on the oldest and largest Catholic community in the orient, using the Nagasaki Cathedral as ground zero, as an example how the church is destroying itself by its acceptance and promotion of violence.

Fr. Emmanuel Charles McCarthy, Catholic priest, author/lecturer, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, former U.S. Marine and a committed advocate of the non-violent path of Jesus provides a powerfully candid discussion of the failings of the Christian church to reject nationalistic violence and follow the commandment to “Love your enemies.” (Parts 1 and 2)

In Part 1, Fr. McCarthy remarks that “In a community of cannibals it is difficult to raise the issue that cannibalism is against the will of God” to example how Christians have developed an acceptance of violence and have rejected Jesus as a consequence. “If we cannot know from the New Testament that Jesus rejected violence, then we can no nothing about his personal message.”

Part II.
Vivian and McCarthy engage us in a discussion of the clergy’s responsibility to teach the Gospel principles of justice, mercy and peace. Why is the church not standing up for those in the greatest need? “Where is the church in creating a society that works for the human spirit?How is God going to treat us as ministers when he looks at our ministries that remain silent to the core issues of justice, mercy and peace?” Vivian remarks, “We have the best Christianity that money can buy?” What does McCarthy mean when he compares church today to a Las Vegas prostitute? Tune in!

Various poems I wrote years ago.

In Part I, Vivian and McCarthy share their varied experiences and insights about the connections of poverty and violence in our world where one person dies of starvation every 9 seconds, “If you want the most luxurious society in the world then you need to have the greatest military to protect it.”

In both episodes, John Carmody, a neuroscientist and highly decorated Viet Nam era Marine, explains how the young are recruited into the military at an age when the brain centers of higher reasoning, compassion and empathy are still immature, and while the lower brain functions of aggression and violence more developed and is more susceptible to the training to kill without mercy or conscience.

During much of my life I had a difficult time trusting God and being at peace with him. Consequently, I had a difficult time trusting Him with my will and my life. Through a series of events I learned some valuable lesson. I wrote about those lessons in July of 2007. Recently I decided to make this video series to share that article in this format. May you be encouraged to trust God in a new way as you watch this video series.

This is a video that Chris made to show God's amazing work in our lives. God has blessed us with a beautiful little girl, Hadley, who was born with Down Syndrome. As the song by Mark Schultz so accurately describes, we found out that something was wrong with Hadley's heart at 20 weeks into the pregnancy, and were given grim options. We knew that God's plan was bigger than we could imagine, and with his healing hand, were given an amazing little girl 20 weeks later!

For many years I had a difficult time trusting God, because I did not know His heart or His ways. In July of 2007 I wrote a 3 part article on Making Peace with God. Yesterday, I made a 3 Part Video series to share the article in this format. This is the
3rd part of the series. May you be encouraged to trust God in a new way as you watch this video series. Because each part of the series expands on the previous part of the series, I would encourage you to watch the series in order: Part 1, then Pa

See how DMCS staff members finished the sentence, "I am convicted that..."

"I saw the Lord, and took pictures of His Glory". That is the testimony shared in this video. Look out for the pictures of Jesus at the end...
