Dealing with Allies

Posted on June 12, 2023 by ehurst

Basic rule: Emphasize common ground. I’ve seen this problem all over; it’s not just on the Net. I’m hoping the Radix Fidem message doesn’t become tiresome and objectionable. It’s not about being respectable as the world sees it, but we … Continue reading →

In the Lord’s Service

Posted on May 13, 2019 by ehurst

I am a soldier by divine calling. It’s not my vocation, but it does help to explain how I get things done. I tolerate conditions I can’t control and faithfully engage the mission. Traditional pacifism is a lie. The Bible … Continue reading →

Theology and Practice: Israel

Posted on May 2, 2019 by ehurst

Omni This-n-That

Posted on December 7, 2018 by ehurst

Posted on October 27, 2018 by ehurst

Most of you probably don’t have the time to read something like this, but I highly recommend this analysis of our current political situation. The author explains the background of political tension better than anything else I’ve seen in quite … Continue reading →

Guard Your Hearts and Minds

Posted on September 2, 2018 by ehurst

We still need more lore. Some of what I’ve written before seems to warrant a review. Maybe if I say it again differently, it’ll catch on. If you read any kind of epic fiction or watch movies, or maybe play … Continue reading →

Moral Homeostasis

Posted on July 1, 2018 by ehurst

What was the whole point of revelation? “Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?” Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your … Continue reading →
