The Covenant creates a nation of hearts. The flesh is just excess baggage. Our fleshly identity may even amuse us at times, but it is fragile and untrustworthy. Once we migrate our conscious awareness into our hearts and begin living by our convictions, we take upon ourselves a sort of schizophrenia. The flesh is one…

Enemies of the Gospel
I keep bumping into this. People who should know better struggle to understand the Hebrew perspective on things. One of the lies peculiar to the West is the notion that the natural world does not care about you as an individual. Well, all of Creation cares the way God cares. This is more a lie…
Praying I’m Wrong about This
It is not in our hands to stop Israel from bombing civilians in Gaza. It is not in our hands to stop the politicians from loving Israel and insisting that all the money available, and all the money stolen from our future, be sent there to pay for more bombing. Nor is it in our…
With Aplomb
I don’t like fear porn, so I’m going to translate the latest threat into the language of Christian Mysticism. We should never be surprised at the long term trend toward isolating each of us so that the biggest thing in our lives is the government. It’s the old Tower of Babel scam again. It isn’t…
Part of the Calculus
We need to replace our western mythology. When Christ returns, it will be the end of this world. The reference here is to our fallen condition, our mortal existence as part of the natural world. The rest of creation is not fallen; it will not end. Time and space will not end. The only thing…
No Time to Waste
We’ve said this before: God didn’t choose Israel; He built the nation from scratch. They were His means of revelation. Their language was perfect for the job, and their culture was what He made of their humble beginnings. Their intellectual heritage was exactly what people needed to have in their heads in order to understand…
On Humility
A friend asked me about humility the other day. I told him that the most important thing he should know is that humility cannot be had by discipline. It is born in you, or it isn’t there at all. When the Holy Spirit awakens your spirit, your very first reaction is to fall on your…
He Will Have His Way
The following items are worth discussing, but none of them amount to a full blog post. 1. Kevin MacDonald explains how Jews dominate. If you are curious about that, his explanation is about as good as you’ll find. It’s a mixture of four primary traits, mostly a matter of DNA and selective breeding from their…
Stop at the Boundary
I’ve been asked about this. In Matthew 11, Jesus lowers the boom on Judaism. First, He condemns the kind of unbelief that led to so very few repenting at the preaching of His cousin, John the Baptist. He elevates John to his proper standing in God’s reckoning, because John clearly understood God’s heart and Word….
