Posted on February 1, 2017 by ehurst

The modern Western concept of “human rights” is a heathen idea. It does not come from Scripture at all, though most Westerners read it back into the Bible. It’s part of this whole idolatry of The Great Man, the type … Continue reading →

More of God’s Unchanging Truth

Posted on January 16, 2017 by ehurst

Maybe this won’t take up so much space since I’ve already covered the background. The Cult of Oester is not the whole problem; Western Civilization also has the male counterpart that I call the Cult of Odin. As with Oester, … Continue reading →

Stop Being Nice

Posted on January 4, 2017 by ehurst

Some years ago I walked into the local Sam’s Club warehouse store and was confronted by rolling racks filled with heavy winter parkas. Digging through this display, I found one that fit, a big old puffy down-filled thing and the … Continue reading →

Cycling: Miracle Hill

Posted on November 29, 2016 by ehurst

I’m not training for anything in particular. It’s nice to have the endurance for those epic 50-mile rides, but that’s just icing on the cake. Physical fitness is not an end in itself; it serves a much higher purpose, a … Continue reading →

Of Goats and Chamber Pots

Posted on November 12, 2016 by ehurst

Don’t follow the folly of this world. Matthew 26:52 is often misquoted. It’s a peculiar Western concept that one could “live by the sword.” It almost sounds poetic — live by the sword; die by the sword. But this places … Continue reading →

The Treasury of Souls

Posted on October 15, 2016 by ehurst

I wish I could say this quickly and succinctly, but our cultural miasma won’t let me. In another of the long list of false dichotomies foisted upon us in the West, we have two bogus images perverting what Jesus taught. … Continue reading →

Posted on September 26, 2016 by ehurst

We’ve picked up a crop of new subscribers lately. It’s time for one of those periodic restatements of faith. This time I’ll emphasize the basis for our moral reasoning here. Our fallen nature rests on trusting the intellect to handle … Continue reading →

Epistemology Wars

Posted on September 25, 2016 by ehurst

It’s everywhere. Every day I encounter some dispute where the opposing sides speak past each other, because each assumes a radically different reality. It’s polarizing because there is no debate at all, just yelling spite at each other as if … Continue reading →

Wordless Truth

Posted on August 1, 2016 by ehurst

(This is the instructional portion of today’s message. The prophetic portion is in another blog post.) Of course, I used the word “instructional” advisedly because it can’t be taught, only caught. Nobody can tell you much about how the heart … Continue reading →

New and Ancient Normal

Posted on June 20, 2016 by ehurst

A clinical approach will give you clinical results with a utility approaching zero. Conditions permitting, I go out each morning and pick up solid waste (pollutants) around my apartment building. That it looks nicer without visible trash is just a … Continue reading →
