Of Divine Origins, But Cultural In Authorship
God does not need the Bible to reach man kind. Such a limitation results in agnosticism over the unreached who have never held or heard the Bible. God reveals Himself to man in various ways. Yes, the Bible is the fullest revelation of His will for us - but it is not the only revelation. Where natural revelation, specifically the revelation that occurs through science, seems to cause us to question certain Biblical stories of the Bible I suggest a honest response: with God all things are possible - so yes, these could have literally happened. However, the point is not the factualness of the event, it is the spiritual truth revealed within the story.Can It Ever Happen Again?
Edmund Burke said "great empires and small minds go ill together." America now stands at a moment in time when the lessons of the past are crying out for application to today. Will the minds of our great empire be able to reflect on history, learning that defensive aggression rarely accomplishes its goal?April 2004 Bookshelf
Several books on the ideology behind neo-conservatism, the doctrines of pre-emption and American supremacy, a pithy book on the Las Vegas culture, as well as primers on living the Christian life fully and the essentials to cultural hermeneutics of the Bible.Gaza Strip: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict From the Eyes of a Child
The most political of situations rightly disolves when we view its implications through the eyes of a child. This essay, in part a review of James Longley's documentary "Gaza Strip" is such a needed insight into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Bumper Sticker Spirituality - Excerpts from Chapter 3
An Excerpt from my book "Bumper Sticker Spirituality" - Chapter 3: Where I live it is fairly common to see people driving around with various pithy doctrinal statements on their bumper stickers. You can pick yours from the long list of candidates: "Jesus Is My Co-Pilot" or the ubiquitous fish eating Darwin. Maybe this is just me, but aren't these the rough equivalent of flipping someone the bird? My personal favorite is the one that goes something like "In Case of Rapture This Car Will Be On Auto-Pilot." I wonder if we think about how that comes across to others: in the case of the Rapture my two-and-a-half tons of aluminum and sheet metal will be flying down the road at fifty-five miles an hour crashing into the nearest oncoming piece of traffic - maybe even that nice school bus load of innocent kids. But isn't that the irony in the bumper sticker? Because if they were still around after the Rapture they wouldn't be innocent now would they? They had their chance, you mister tailgater, you had your chance - you missed it, I didn't, I'm right, and you're damned. Enjoy eternity - I know I will.About MysteriousFaith
“If anyone can show me, and prove to me, that I am wrong in thought or deed, I will gladly change. I seek the truth, which never yet hurt anybody. It is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance which does harm.”
