A Distinctly Christian Philosophy
I’ve rattled my cage long and often on subject of epistemology. The Ancient Hebrew mystical approach is not simply another one on the menu of options; it is the approach God cultivated in the minds of those who knew Him … Continue reading

The New Amalek
The Lord has sworn: The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. (Exodus 17:16 NKJV) This is a prophetic word, burning like a fire in my bones. I’m not concerned with who believes it or even reads … Continue reading
