Regarding Covid 19

As a lay observer, I am trying to put together some coherent thoughts about the whole situation surrounding Covid 19: -When I go for a walk on a public trail, I try to greet those I pass by.  It seems polite to me.  But I value it more now.  There's something really good about acknowledging … Continue reading Regarding Covid 19 →

This is the Body

1 Corinthians 12:7 "A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial..." What is given? A manifestation of the Spirit. For what purpose? To produce what is beneficial.  These are Divine gifts given not merely to the individual through whom they are manifest, but to other members of the … Continue reading This is the Body →

Yes, You

In my previous post, Identity Drift I commented, Moses being alive did not make Israel successful, nor did Jesus being on the earth mean that everyone followed Him, nor did the apostles being alive mean that everything was perfect in the church in those days. I said this to make a point about assuming that another … Continue reading Yes, You →

Identity Drift

I have been thinking, lately, about spiritual identity.  This was inspired by looking at the attitudes Jesus confronted in His lifetime, as well as the multitude of denominations, sects and movements in existence today, each defending their viewpoints passionately.  In my opinion, many are searching for a purer, truer expression of the faith, and many … Continue reading Identity Drift →

Good Message

"Silver is tested in a crucible, gold in a smelter, and a man by the praise he receives."

Identity Bubble

I remember a comedian talking about how, in Canada where he lived, he was Indian.  Then he went to India, and he was instantly Canadian. If you've read much of this blog, you might notice posts like Culturally Objectionable Words or Freedom vs Unintended Bullshit .  There are times, possibly, when I have relished the … Continue reading Identity Bubble →

The Promise of the Spirit

John 16:7-11 "Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth, it is to your benefit that I go away, because if I don't go away, the Counselor will not come to you.  If I go, I will send Him to you.  When He comes, He will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgement: about sin, … Continue reading The Promise of the Spirit →

True Obedience

I wrote in Following the Spirit : Do not be self-absorbed in your in performance, but be present in love. This has been an important word for me lately, because the problem described here has been a chronic problem in my spiritual life.  Partially, this has to do with bridging the gap between what I … Continue reading True Obedience →
