tl;dr A Problem for our Personhood
In a world of verbosity and noise, it appears that the best part of too much is to take in less. “Too Long; Didn’t Read” This isn’t a good thing. It’s a symptom of overload. Don’t get me wrong. We have to be discriminating in our absorption of information or we will waste a large…

Seeing in Spite of Seeing
The forest for the trees type thingy… ok. I am particular about being specific. I am also verbose. Writing helps to manage and mature both issues. I have often prided myself on being myopic in certain disciplines, even dogmatic about important things. We should be, honestly, when it comes to our convictions, our health, our…
Love is a Decisive Act | Ep 114 | Are You Listening?

Think about this for a minute, and remember, these thoughts are for your perusal, for your thinking… are you listening? Podcast: Play in new…
A General Thought: Evangelism | Ep 110 S2
Evangelism is the PURPOSE of most religious groups in the world. The Christian faith surely should be actively involved in reaching God’s lost sheep with the gospel of grace. But the methods employed most of the time are not necessarily good or effective. What does Scripture say? This brief thought is just to jar our…
Should I Be Reading Other Books? | Ep 109 S2
Reading books is something I LOVE. And for the longest time, I hated reading anything but Scripture… or comic books as a kid. (And the season read through of encyclopedia sets). OK, I have always loved to read, but only what I loved to read. To the point. I get questions related to what books…
