Posted on September 8, 2013 by ehurst

Job 6

Posted on September 7, 2013 by ehurst

Job addresses his friends together as if they had all agreed with the words of Eliphaz. What kind of arrogance is it that dismisses the suffering of another simply because one feels no pain? Job begins by reasserting that this … Continue reading →

Ego and Accountability

Posted on September 5, 2013 by ehurst

Be yourself; stop demanding the world be you. I saw it again today — solipsism syndrome in action. This isn’t the philosophical position you may have read about, but a psychological loss of ego boundaries. Infants are born incapable of … Continue reading →

Mortality and Sorrow Norms

Posted on September 4, 2013 by ehurst

God is slowly crushing the Prosperity Gospel heresy. It’s not as if folks didn’t prosper, but it wasn’t by the gospel. Savvy folks will still prosper just fine in the coming economic troubles, gospel or not. That’s the way it … Continue reading →

Job 2

Posted on August 10, 2013 by ehurst

The same scenario in the Spirit Realm comes around again, where God holds court with His angelic servants. Satan appears faithfully, but without faith. He suggests Job’s words of praise were a cheap attempt to bargain with God for nothing … Continue reading →

Democratization of Religion

Posted on August 8, 2013 by ehurst
