Posted on June 16, 2020 by ehurst

Written on His Heart

Posted on June 8, 2020 by ehurst

Provisional Life

Posted on May 19, 2020 by ehurst

Don’t take yourself too seriously. That’s just a backdoor definition of humility and trust in the Lord. But it’s also a warning not to trust your own human abilities, neither in establishing ideals nor in reaching them. It’s utterly impossible … Continue reading →

Pondering the Path 04

Posted on May 4, 2020 by ehurst

At this point, the Radix Fidem path clearly alienates the vast majority of Westerners with any inclinations to Christian religion. What we offer is a path back to Eden; that’s what the gospel is now, and has always been since … Continue reading →
