A recent article posted to Lew Rockwell’s site is very enlightening about human nature. Americans assume they understand human nature from a very narrow sample, bringing to the task a whole range of biases. We assume the rest of the world is just like us, when the vast majority of the human race has never…

Healing Scars of the Soul
I have a sense of peace with God. It’s the most important thing in my life, more important than life itself. That peace is rather like a living thing in my soul, and it’s up to me to feed and nurture that peace. A major part of its diet is asking forgiveness for every failure…
Mindwar
One of our fundamental teachings is that the nature of the Fall was choosing to trust human perception to answer the question of what is good and evil. Morality is thus determined from the inside, not from the Source external to us. And morality becomes a matter of convenience, as opposed to a system by…
Guardian Angels
I saw stories about the recent tornadoes in the southeastern states. In one case, a family survived through the destruction of their mobile home. Their four-month-old infant was found lying on a downed tree out in the yard uninjured. The mother insists it was by the grace of God. A common element in our American…
Busy
Nothing’s wrong, but I am dealing with the stuff of real-world existence today. God has been silent in the sense of not urging me to write anything, but He’s urging me to take care of other business. May His peace fill your life.
`Tis the Season
It’s the end of an era, in many ways. This is for the community. I woke up in the wee hours this morning with a burden on my heart. Normally I would have been rushing to send out a bunch of Christmas cards by now. This year I felt it was pointless. Of course, it’s…
Passing Over Again
I believe that God would be willing to shield us from the worst sorrows of apocalypse if we take seriously His promises. Obviously, I cannot mean that we must come together in one place. That’s not possible. What I mean is that, if you and I truly surrender to this Covenant path, we will be…

The Great Leveler
It’s not hard to agree together that our government is evil. It would be evil no matter who took whatever office, because the system itself is a moral failure, a rejection of divine revelation. It is our mission to declare the gospel against the sins of the world, including the evil of our government. Because…
When Men Have Had Enough
Recall the biblical model of what men are like. Adam was preoccupied in the Garden, and failed to object to the Tempter’s message to Eve. He went along with it because he had more important things to worry about, managing the Garden and all. Maybe the job would get easier if he could decide for…
