Catholics propose that Mary, Mother of God, is of special worship and reverence. It is wrong to worship her. The Bible indicates that she was special because Christ was incarnated through her, but beyond that point, there is no worship for her.

evc07 God made the World and the Whole Universe is a study of God our Maker, and how He made things, not by evolution. Topics: Why does it matter so much? | God is greater than us | God imposes our condition on us | We must Obey and Worship Him | How do we worship God? | God created all things | Noah’s Ark | The Evolution and Evolution of God | The Maker of Job.
From the Tract: Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
One conclusion of the statement that "God created the world" is that God is greater than us, which is to say, God is stronger, more powerful, and more wonderful than any human being. We owe God our worship and praise.

PC17 Vulgar and Foul-mouthed examines the person who cusses or curses, speak aggressively and ill towards other people in the light of the Bible.
Topics: Works are not a Criteria for Salvation | What is cursing? | Vulgar Words, and God | Wishing evil to fall on others | The Exemplary Life of a Child of God.
Excerpt: James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
An evil, unconverted and unsaved man can have his mouth very attuned to cursing, lying, and attacking others. But a child of God will never let words of this nature of character “slip out” out of his/her mouth (nor think them in his mind or heart).

Missionary on Furlough Spiritual Needs is an article by David Cox (veteran missionary) to help pastors and missionaries understand missionary needs.
Excerpt: When a pastor "takes in a missionary on deputation or furlough", he ministers to that missionary.... Pastors also need this encouragement as much as missionaries need it. When they get together to fellowship, they are able to encourage one another. But every pastor ministering to a returning missionary should encourage them along these lines of faithfulness and reward in eternity.
Topics: Introduction | Unfit Missionaries that should not be missionaries at all | Stop the Merry-go-round, I want to get off | Some Tips for Pastors Encouraging Missionaries | 1. Do not undermine their way of leading or doing the ministry | 2. The two essential elements are talk and prayer. | 3. Get more than just the pastor involved in praying for the missionary. | Remind your missionary by asking for an update if it has been a while. | Effectively disseminate prayer requests.
