Posted on July 10, 2016 by ehurst

Gospel Perception

Posted on July 8, 2016 by ehurst

Conditional Physics

Posted on July 3, 2016 by ehurst

I felt that this didn’t fit in the pulpit because it’s didactic, more a question of fundamental philosophical approach. Western Christianity tends to push God out into the spooky unknown. God is “knowable” only in the sense of propositional statements … Continue reading →

New and Ancient Normal

Posted on June 20, 2016 by ehurst

Rattling My Own Cage

Posted on June 18, 2016 by ehurst

Anti-Activism

Posted on June 16, 2016 by ehurst
