“We speak God’s Wisdom, secret and hidden, which He decreed before the ages to be our path to [the] Glory [of perfect Peace].” ~ Paul (1 Corinthians 2:7) Fair enough, and yet how can anyone openly & understandably speak a wisdom that is “secret and hidden”? Well, maybe for the simple reason that it is […]
“Exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today’” ~ unknown (Hebrews 3:13) It is not enough to plan to care for another, or to wait to extend Kindness only on those days we judge to be special (“birthdays”, “holidays”, etc) … For the time to Care is always now, and […]
While the teachings of Paul (upon which the modern-day Christian religion were built) do claim that Jesus was the one and only Son of God, and while they do purport that only those who worship Jesus accordingly will be granted entrance into an eternal paradise after death, Jesus himself (in the texts of the same […]
It is in Genesis 19 that we find the infamous tale of Sodom & Gomorrah — a story beloved by many a conservative Christian, and often used thereby to “prove” without a doubt that homosexuality itself is “sinful in the eyes of the Lord” … And to be fair, it is easy to see why […]
“God provides us with everything we need for our true enJoyment.; for we are here to Do Good, to be rich in Good Works, and ever-ready to share.” ~ unknown (1 Timothy 6:17-18) The opportunity to selflessly Care for another is everything we need for our deepest in-JOY-ment (indeed, radically & fully giving to […]

“It is Now the moment for You to awaken … The night is far gone; the day is near. Let us therefore lay aside the works of darkness and put on the Armor of [Love’s] Light.” ~ Paul (Romans 13:11-12) This is quite the in-Sight-full verse — a Truth that becomes clear when we realize […]
“Proclaim the Message [of Love]; be persistent, regardless of whether the time is favorable or unfavorable … Encourage others with the utmost Patience.” ~ author unknown (2 Timothy 4:2) This verse can be misleading unless read with gentle “lenses” … On its face, it seems to admonish us to try and convince (or even […]
“Whoever does not Love does not know God, because God is LOVE.” ~ 1 John 4:8 It’s not rocket science, people.
I humbly set aside the notion of talking about God as a person, and yet I have no problem whatsoever in talking about God as “personal” — at least in a certain way … Please allow me to explain: To say that God is a separate entity not only denies all scientific evidence (Where could […]
“It is not for you to know the times & happenings that the Father has set by His own Authority.” ~ Luke (Acts 1:7) On its face, this verse seems to claim that there is an external force (what some call “God”) that already knows what will occur in a future that is fixed. […]
