Not a Movement

Posted on August 1, 2015 by ehurst

One of the things I confront often enough is the unconscious expectation that the religion of Radix Fidem could become a movement of some sort. That expectation is part of the activist urge that traps people’s minds, in the sense … Continue reading →

Virtual Communion and Witness

Posted on July 31, 2015 by ehurst

It’s a favorite theme of mine: Don’t take yourself too seriously. We are all for the most part simply along for the ride in God’s revelation of Himself. In His measureless mercy and grace, He allows us to participate in … Continue reading →

Not the Apocalypse, Part 1

Posted on July 29, 2015 by ehurst

We don’t care whether it was the chicken or the egg that came first; it won’t make any difference on the moral plane. We know how it works here and now and mucking around with it only causes problems. God … Continue reading →

Posted on July 27, 2015 by ehurst

Posted on July 25, 2015 by ehurst

Today’s journey wasn’t remarkable in terms of touring the countryside. With only one minor variation, it was the new Harrah Loop counterclockwise. The single variation was, after passing the SDA Academy and retirement village on NE 63rd, I turned north … Continue reading →

God Blows the Whistle

Posted on July 23, 2015 by ehurst

This should be an easy doctrine to absorb: Be sure your sins will find you out. This goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden when God characterized the unjust bloodshed of Abel as crying out to Him … Continue reading →

Death Is Just a Circumstance

Posted on July 22, 2015 by ehurst

The title is a catchphrase I’ve been using for years. It’s the kind of thing you say because you know that the words would never really capture the truth in the first place. Instead, you reach for a way to … Continue reading →

Alien Citizens

Posted on July 20, 2015 by ehurst
