Boniface And The Thunder Oak
Recently learned about Boniface and Thunder Oak (you can read about it here) and it makes me think about how protestants have mostly stopped telling stories of the past and teaching christian history. We could learn a thing or two from catholics in this regard.
I can't say that I know my christian history, and this is a failure not only on my part, but also on the part of the western church. We should be teaching these to our children, there are many lessons to be learned, like what to do and what not to do. None of the stories will be perfect just like none of the people those stories are about are perfect.
P.S. Our culture likes Thor, who was a god pleased by human (child mostly) sacrifice. It's no wonder abortion is such a hit today in our pagan culture, which says it's not religious. Don't be fooled, our government and culture is very religious, and wants to indoctrinate you at every step.
