Posted on March 23, 2016 by ehurst

Church Ball-n-Chain

Posted on March 22, 2016 by ehurst

Church politics has not been good to me. I’m gazing back over the wreckage of my life seeking entrance into the ranks of professional ministry. It would be easy to oversimplify and note that God never intended me to succeed … Continue reading →

We Have This Treasure

Posted on March 17, 2016 by ehurst

What we have here is powerful, rich and sweet. Do we need any further excuse to offer it to others? Actually, the thing itself won’t tolerate silence. It would be wholly unjust to keep this divine justice to ourselves. But … Continue reading →

Not Just the Dispies

Posted on March 16, 2016 by ehurst

Reminder: No Encryption Needed

Posted on March 15, 2016 by ehurst

Posted on February 28, 2016 by ehurst

Post-Zionist PTSD

Posted on February 26, 2016 by ehurst

The ineffable moral Law of God calls to all humans. It is not a question of performance, but of commitment. This thing is the nature of love itself; you can’t be drawn to the moral character of God without being … Continue reading →

Charity Without Conviction

Posted on February 23, 2016 by ehurst
