Do nothing out of a sense of compulsion or obligation, or of fear or anxiety. In everything, may it be done from and in peace and contentment.
May we center our minds, hearts and soul upon our Lord that every need, restless impulse and humiliation would be offered to him – that He might fill that [...]

The Flesh is weak
Posted in Christianity, God, Religion, Spirituality, Theology on July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Indeed I do what I don’t want to do, so it is not me who does it but my flesh within me which is weak. “Old habits die hard” but they do die.
My righteousness is found not in what I do, but in the gift of God through faith; yet, may I still do good [...]
intelligence and predictability
Posted in Christianity, God, Religion, Spirituality, philosophy on July 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I would suggest that; while abstract predictability is very high with God (ie. God is love, God is holy, God is just, God is merciful) “The same yesterday, today and tomorrow.”
I would also suggest that there exists:
an Inverse Correlation between intelligence and pragmatic predictability in all things we encounter – that being the more intelligent [...]
Brokeness of Superficiality
Posted in Uncategorized on July 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Let it be said that I (along with my culture and many others that live within the threatening confines of its choking vines) have suffered a terrible slavery for more years than needed in exile from a life of liberty and happiness. We have substituted joy for despair and depth with superficiality. Like a fool [...]

I seek to be more than justified. I seek to be free.
Black Hole emitting Light…

By Clara Moskowitz, SPACE.com
While we may never know what it looks like inside a black hole, astronomers recently obtained one of the closest views yet. The sighting allowed scientists to confirm theories about how these giant cosmic sinkholes spew out jets of particles travelling at nearly the speed of light.
Ever since the first observations of [...]
A Shadowed Flame
Posted in Christianity, God, Religion, Spirituality on July 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I see before me a flame that yearns to shine
its radiant glowing light into the darkness,
illuminating what is hidden, while yet
it is covered by a deeply rooted shadow.
The flame is dim – buried beneath heavy facades,
weighty burdens of pride, lust and deceit.
A strong wind from the east comes
to kindle the flame,
yet the shadow remains over [...]
Chesterton’s Maniac

In Astronomy, the Earth is called a young planet (not because it is young in age, but in maturity as a planet) Whereas the moon is completely hardened and crusted, the earth still is moving and morphing by plate tectonics as it stays fresh with each days pass.
Perhaps this should be a testament to us, [...]
Church Model // where we begin

And so we begin where we must begin; that is, with the activity of God. When He began to create the heavens and the earth – the earth being in a chaos and confusion, darkness surrounding the surface of the deep, and a spirit from God brooding over the raging waters – God said, “Let [...]
Thinking about faith
Posted in Christianity, God, Religion, Spirituality, Theology, love, philosophy on July 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
However you find it helpful to describe the activity of faith, which makes sense to you and reflects what is, is fine; for me, I must do so only in consideration of the mental processes which I undergo in ‘faith’. I must admit that in this somewhat recent understanding of faith that I have developed, [...]
