A Little Reminder

Posted on November 20, 2016 by ehurst

Posted on November 19, 2016 by ehurst

(Passing note: Today marks eight years on this blog.) I am familiar with the so-called right-wing conservative Christian segment of America’s population. My familiarity is due to coming out of that. As with every existing subculture, there is good and … Continue reading →

Posted on November 18, 2016 by ehurst

We have to rise to the challenge. If our new approach to faith and religion means anything, it has to affect our thinking so that we can challenge faithless conduct. We have to rise to a different understanding of what … Continue reading →

Of Goats and Chamber Pots

Posted on November 12, 2016 by ehurst

Don’t follow the folly of this world. Matthew 26:52 is often misquoted. It’s a peculiar Western concept that one could “live by the sword.” It almost sounds poetic — live by the sword; die by the sword. But this places … Continue reading →

Hearty Defense

Posted on October 23, 2016 by ehurst

I don’t care about influencing voters and politicians; it won’t change anything that matters. I’d rather seek God’s influence on my thinking. I want His favor so that I can ask for things He is likely to do. That’s how … Continue reading →

Posted on October 18, 2016 by ehurst

Cycling elevates your awareness of terrain. Why do I invest so much time into surveying creeks and rivers, and then posting about it on the blog here? Pretty pictures? I’m teaching what I know of God’s Creation. I want you … Continue reading →

Mission of the Heart

Posted on October 17, 2016 by ehurst

(This article is intentionally cross-posted on both my blogs.) I’ve always been a missionary. Everywhere I’ve gone, every job I’ve performed, was always a cover for my real mission in life. In my personal experience, there have been three missionary … Continue reading →

The Treasury of Souls

Posted on October 15, 2016 by ehurst
