Posted on August 15, 2011 by ehurst

Jesus Favors the Poor

Posted on August 13, 2011 by ehurst

Mammon is the god of Western churches. When your mind is closed a priori to something, you have no moral right to reject it. If you examine it and find it’s not for you, that’s great. At least you know. … Continue reading →

What Kind of Crash

Posted on August 9, 2011 by ehurst

Posted on July 26, 2011 by ehurst

If it were up to me, I’d open a Prophets’ Academy. Let’s get this out of the way first: I don’t care if what I post here every day is absolutely bonkers. This is the best I know and my … Continue reading →

We Are Not

Posted on July 12, 2011 by ehurst

Our house church is not Protestant, nor Catholic, nor Orthodox, nor do we fit any other standard associations. We have no legal charter, no corporate property, and precious little organization. We don’t consider ourselves a distinct entity at all. We … Continue reading →

Legalism and Religion

Posted on July 9, 2011 by ehurst

It’s not about semantics, per se, but clear thinking. Legalism is not simply a matter of hide-bound about rules. It’s not being a stickler for pointless details, not wrangling over endless permutations of application. Those are symptoms. Legalism is making … Continue reading →
