A Path through Time
God’s path for me has carried me places I could never have imagined. I seldom found God in evangelical church activities, particularly during worship services. The first and greatest error Western Christians make is confusing emotionally moving music and preaching … Continue reading

Fool’s Goal
Nobody says having a goal in mind is somehow evil. What’s evil is the underlying mental frame of reference that makes accomplishment the measure of your worth. When you boil down Scripture to the essence, you discover God says holiness … Continue reading

Mission Persistence
I teach that there is nothing significant humans can do to affect the choice, timing and process of spiritual birth in themselves or others. That’s about as close as we can come to explaining what’s really going on with individual … Continue reading

Truth Is Just a Word
Over the years on this blog and in similar previous efforts, I’ve tried to explain the concept of Two Realms. I’m not the first. Well within our reach is the last chapter of the Lewis’s Narnia series of books, a … Continue reading

The Law Is Grace
Western Christians typically say things like, “Words mean something.” Words are not truth, nor even containers of truth. Words are, at best, mere signs pointing out a path that brings you to God. God is truth. All truth is God’s … Continue reading

I’m Tech Support
This is an exercise in mirror reading. There is no social group for me. I’m an alien in virtually every human context, in part because I am “not of this world” (Romans 12:2) — Even among my fellow Christians, I … Continue reading
