Here am I. Send Me!
4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke. 5 Then I said, “Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have […]
The “Seared” Conscience
One of my core ideas is that the conscience is a universal and supernatural presence that constantly dictates relevant law to us whether we want to hear it at the time or not. We are really such complex creatures! Sometimes I get the comment when talking about this that there are people who don’t have […]
God as our Genesis and Knowing God intimately bears Love – 1 John 4:7
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only […]
Go Your Way and Sin No More
No one on earth is worthy to condemn you, and the One who is worthy to condemn does not condemn, but died for the ungodly. 1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and […]
Death in that pot!
Recently a man I deeply respect who was at one time my pastor posted this: “When your heart’s desire contradicts Scripture, betray your feelings. Don’t follow your heart.” Upon reflection, I am going to humbly dispute this; as Elishah’s disciples said, there is death in that pot (2 Kings 4:40). First, some scripture: 23 Watch […]
Extracting the Precious from the Worthless
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2 … if you extract the precious from the worthless, You will become My spokesman. Jeremiah 15:19 Children like candy, not fine wine or espresso. The pleasure of a thing must be immediate […]
Take up your cross daily!
23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if […]
Grace, Death, Predestination, and Autonomy
Given the title of this post, this is going to be a heavy topic (thank you Captain Obvious!), and we are going to get a bit theological. Apologies in advance again to those looking for a quicker read, I realize this post isn’t very ‘bloggy’. Here is the question I am trying to answer: does […]
Autonomy and Desire in the Godhead
Fasten your seatbelts everyone, this is a heavy one. The doctrine of the trinity as I understand it goes like this: The Father is God The Son is God The Holy Spirit is God The Son is not the Father The Son is not the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is not the Father The […]
