A Community of Deception

Too often we take issue with the obvious without recognizing the impact of those influences that are more subtle. Some things affect us without our realizing it.

Here and Now, but How?

Extending back to the time of Moses there have been indications, preserved in the scriptures, that there would appear a unique individual who would represent the Lord’s interests and concern for His creation.

No Pain, No Gain

You’ve heard that expression and you know it speaks to the cost of obtaining something of value. Athletes have to develop and train their bodies and minds to achieve victory. Soldiers have to learn how to work as team, taking and following orders.

One and Done

What ails you? What gets in your way? What confuses and confounds you? What scares you? What do you need? What do you want?
What if the answers to all these questions could be reduced to one question with one answer?

Are You a Galatian?

What’s a Galatian? Someone from Galatia, which was an area in the highlands of Anatolia, and Anatolia, is now the territory of modern Turkey. It’s also important to note that the ancient Galatians were a Gentile community; that is when the people of Galatia embraced the Gospel, they didn’t bring the experience of practicing Jews with them.

Enter the Dragon

G’Day Mate. This is an expression that Australians use to greet one another. It’s a way of wishing one another well while affirming a shared experience of relaxed culture. At least that’s how I interpret it.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

This is a line from a nursery rhyme entitled, “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary” that was first published in the 18th century. The poem’s meaning and its subject are debated but the question regarding the garden’s growth sticks in my mind and lends itself to the focus of this website.

Love is All You Need

We’re fascinated by love; it’s part of what drives us in our quest for life: the desire to survive, to succeed, to gain, to make progress almost certainly includes obtaining a relationship with someone; hopefully the right one.

The Good Life

“It’s good for what ails you.” That’s the Gospel, the message of the Christ addressing the needs of all people everywhere, throughout time.
