• "The Matter Of Who We Are Always Precedes What We Do"

    “Thus, sin is not essentially an action but rather an identity. Sin is a fundamental stance of wanting to be what we are not. Sin is thus an orientation to falsity, a basic lie concerning our own deepest reality.”

    James Finley

The Ontological Self

The OS is where most of us are today unless you are part of the Remnant, the body of Christ that has experienced restoration and transformation. The only way out of your condition is to get your neurology reset and pray that the Holy Spirit (HS) can wake you up and transform your very being, your very soul; otherwise, your existence rests as a compromised, dumbed-down objectified human being, unwise and no empathy for anyone else living in utter depravity.

Still and Deep Waters

The reason why the psalmist wrote these words is just as relevant now as it was back then. We must take this psalm seriously and find a quiet space to contemplate the words. We should ask God to teach us the true meaning of the words and what they are trying to convey.

Mythos Paradox

Mythology for a Postmodern Culture

What would our lives look like if we consider God to be nothing more than a mythological figure? The characters depicted in the Bible, the words and letters they wrote, the overarching themes conveyed in the Bible, and the compilation of books and letters are abstract, objective things that do not possess meaning?

Shelter of His Wings

Exegesis on Psalm 91

Psalm 91 spells out a world we are either prepared for or will destroy us. Are we walking into battle, unable to ward off the enemy with no weapons? The New Testament (NT) also warns us of the difficulties we will face. We’re told of the principalities and powers we will encounter. And of the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

Musings for June 5th, 2023

Personality leaks out but is not a constant. Most everyone I've ever known is in bondage to shame and emotional pain. And we never get to know the authentic self, the personality, because of it.

Promethean

Virginia Wolfe exclaimed, in 1910, “All human relations have shifted, those between masters and servants, husbands and wives, parents and children. And when human relations change, there is at the same time a change in religion, conduct politics, and literature.” It was apparent then, as it certainly is a century later, that something had happened.
