Sacred Sorrow
I rise today against the heresy that says God won’t bring sorrow into your life. Bad things happen. Without any moral or spiritual consciousness, you are left to rationalize cause and effect as best you can. The possibilities range between … Continue reading
Human Orthodoxies
We so easily forget the Fall touches the human intellect, not least because the Fall is almost entirely based on the decision to place human intellect as master over the will. This is entirely contrary to what God had in … Continue reading
