Tracking Two Realms

Posted on March 19, 2024 by ehurst

Miracle Growth

Posted on March 18, 2024 by ehurst

I’m often amazed at how people often operate on false assumptions about the gospel message. The Kingdom of Heaven is a kingdom of (a) the Elect who (b) aspire to live by the Covenant of Christ. Election was completed before … Continue reading →

Another Vision of the Future

Posted on March 17, 2024 by ehurst

Empathy or Not?

Posted on March 14, 2024 by ehurst

Take Another Lap

Posted on March 13, 2024 by ehurst

Let’s agree on something: I’m a nobody. All I have is my own experience with Christ. I claim no authority other than that of the Holy Spirit. If He moves you to read my stuff, then it’s your duty. Otherwise, … Continue reading →

Christ Disowns It
