The Lie of Open Society

Posted on July 12, 2016 by ehurst

Gospel Perception

Posted on July 8, 2016 by ehurst

The New Camera

Posted on July 6, 2016 by ehurst

Moral Process

Posted on June 25, 2016 by ehurst

We stand on the rock of humility. When we come to heart-led faith from mainstream Christian religion, we have to shed a lot of bad mental habits. This is what Romans 12:2 means, because the mainstream is worldly, clinging to … Continue reading →

New and Ancient Normal

Posted on June 20, 2016 by ehurst

A clinical approach will give you clinical results with a utility approaching zero. Conditions permitting, I go out each morning and pick up solid waste (pollutants) around my apartment building. That it looks nicer without visible trash is just a … Continue reading →
