What We Are

Posted on March 9, 2017 by ehurst

Continuing my encouragement of parishioners in building a Christian Culture, let’s look at some things people might notice. We aren’t Greens, but we have a powerful affinity for nature. You cannot distinguish between peace with God and communion with Creation. … Continue reading →

Above the Conflict in the Thick of Battle

Posted on February 18, 2017 by ehurst

(This continues the background narrative to explain something that God has commanded of me.) We are staring in the face the end of Western Civilization. Instead of one big, all-encompassing cataclysm, this will be the death of a thousand cuts. … Continue reading →

The Fallacy of Human Rights

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 →

Reprise: Moral Reasoning

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 →
