Sex and the Spirit

December 30, 2017January 1, 2018 ~ Andrew K. Banks ~ Leave a comment

I have a file where I draft blog post ideas.  A couple of days ago I was digging deep into it, looking at things I had shelved or never finished, and against my better judgement, I decided to edit (only slightly) and revive this.  For context, it may be helpful to read Sex Being single, … Continue reading Sex and the Spirit

The Flesh

December 30, 2017December 30, 2017 ~ Andrew K. Banks ~ Leave a comment

In the context of the New Testament, I think of 'the flesh' as ‘that which is passing away or under the authority of that which is passing away.’  That's general vibe I get from Paul's usage of the word 'flesh' in his letters to the various churches.  Because our flesh, the physical body, ages and … Continue reading The Flesh

Raise Your Standards

Jesus, speaking to Peter one on one: "I assure you: when you were young, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don't want to go."

The following is a from a lecture by psychology professor Jordan B Peterson. Here, he makes reference to King Arthur, the knights of the round table, and the quest for the Holy Grail: “Where do you look for the most valuable thing when you don’t know where it is?
