A Sound Heart

The miracle of God's love is present within the Christ-Event.  The Incarnation of Jesus demonstrates God's love for the world of humankind.  The darkest parts of the human heart are intimately known by God.  God did not espouse a therapy or a school of thought to meet the deepest needs of humanity.  He knew that humanity needed redemption over therapy.  He knew that sin had given humanity a Sickne...

The believer has been placed in a radically new estate in Jesus.  The old things have passed away, and all things have become fresh forever.  This new life that the believer has been given is the very life of God himself.  The old man of the old "life" was done away through our co-crucifixion with Jesus.  We are therefore enjoined to "put" on the new man that was created in the image of him who cr...

God is prior to all things.  He is prior to mass/energy.  He is prior to all (ologies) and (isms) surely there is no one like Him.  He is prior to our narrow definition of intelligence.  God is the Author of all things, and He is the foundation upon whom Reality rests. Wisdom has existed from the beginning with God.  God is all-wise.  He gives wisdom to those who daily wait to hear His Word.  He g...

Be careful with words.  Words are powerful ontological events. Yes, we live in a post-meaningful world.  Lies make up our everyday cosmology, and most people are sleep-walking through this toxic age.  People are told that they suffer from some manufactured condition or disease that requires the most invasive technologies.  People are told that the world happened by chance and necessity and most be...

It is highly important to understand that lack of forgiveness opens to door to much pain in one's life.  Yes, the pain may come over time, but sometimes it does not.  Global "sickness" for which there are no immediate answers, symptoms, or preexisting conditions within the physical realm may point to an acute or chronic problem rooted in one's spiritual life.  People may believe that forgiveness i...

The hopelessly aggorant do not believe in the coming judgement of God.  They are too intoxicated with malignant self- worship to believe that someday God will judge their sin.  God has given constructive notice to those who love darkness rather light because their deeds were evil that he has recorded their acts of rebellion in his books.  One day they will stand before the Great White Throne for t...

The judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah was epic and intense.  The people of these cities were completely consumed by shameless sinful practice.  They had only one moral absolute-corrupt pleasure.  This was their collective social mandate that was so evil that Yahweh came down to see for himself if was really that bad.  It certainly was that bad, and the people were shameless in their thoughts and act...

People today have sown the wind, and reaped the whirlwind.  They have left God.  People today have no idea that their acts of violence are bloody testimonies of lost humanity.  Yes, they are schooled in the musty arts of self-sacrifice for the greater good, but the hollowness of the empirical lie does not depart.  People are lost to themselves and God.  This is the terrible truth.  People are lost...

So, here we are, witnessing the last futile gasping breaths of a culture that arrogantly left God.  The play of prideful speech and moral turpitude had a moment of excitement, but the flash of excitement has now wained.  These will be no Exit or heroic End Game for the west.  The west may have believed that it could determine the course of history with sinful glee, but that too has passed.  There...

God is love.  The reality of his infinite love for us is abundantly presented in the Word of God.  God's love for us is complete and whole.  He has cast our sins behind his back, and he has also tossed them into the depths of the ocean.  God's Son paid the price for our sin, and therefore we have been made accepted in the beloved One (Jesus).  The love of God reaches our deepest needs.  The love o...

The so-called counseling movement of the last 50 years moved away from the Word of God.  The counseling movement of the last 50 years only did lip service to the Word of God.  There is always a price to pay when one thinks to betray God.  All actions have consequences, and the church has grown weaker and weaker because "counseling" took over the poignant and prophetic..."Thus saith the Lord."  Loo...

The counseling model that is presented within the pages of the Word of God is consistent with reality.  There is an objectivity to the Word of God that compels agreement.  But, that is not always the case since there are those who actively oppose the Word of God because of their conformity to the works of darkness.  The Word of God is not a therapy, nor is it a school of mundane thought.  The Word...

Psycho-babble is a malignant lie.  It promised to be the savior of mankind, and it was always a great deception.  It was always and only the empirical lie of the elite.  Psycho-babble was always the great fraud.  It was/is the mistress of liars and academic hacks.  Psycho-babble created an industry that sought the morally and spiritually wounded to swallow down whole.  It created terrible "tools"...

The west is dying from malignant disregard of the Truth.  How I remember the theologians and counselors who were preaching psychology over Truth.  They were so sure of their empty homilies.  They were bold in their high-handed discounting of the finished work of Jesus.  They wanted people to believe in their empirical lies instead of the Truth.  Well, we are now poised before the abyss, and the th...

Moses was a great and powerful servant of Yahweh.  He knew that the task of leading the people of Yahweh was difficult.  Moses told Yahweh that he could not do it without his help. Moses needed the assurance that Yahweh would be there for him during the wilderness journey.  Yahweh gave Moses the encouragement that he needed to sustain him.  Moses wanted to see the Face (Heb. Faces) of Yahweh.  Yah...

God is dynamic essence.  He is not static being as pictured by the Greeks.  He is also more than the Unmoved Mover!  God is not who or what we may think he is.  God is so much more than some intellectual construct.  Neither is he merely the sum total of his autopsy of attributes as written in theological journals and textbooks.  God is! We rejoice in the self-caused being of God because in Him we...

The Christ Event culminated in the Resurrection of Jesus (Iesous).  If there was no resurrection then the Jesus of History would be merely another great religious figure.  If there was no resurrection then we are of all people most misreable.  If there was no resurrection we are indeed false witnesses of God.  If there was no resurrection we should all eat, drink, and be merry for there is no eter...

We have a holistic and complete Salvation.  We have the resurrection power of Jesus so that we may live lives that are well pleasing to God.  The resurrection power of Jesus transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.  The resurrection power of Jesus is supernatural.  It is the power of God that brought back Jesus from the realm of Thanatos (death).  Thanatos attempted to hold Jesus down in de...

The Apostle Paul was perhaps the greatest intellectual in Church History.  He was a man of great pedigree.  He was trained as a legal scholar and philosopher.  He was also a rabid enemy of the Faith until he was transformed by the Grace of God.  Paul was changed by God's amazing Grace, and he he never forgot it.  He lived his life as one who was deeply devoted to the living Jesus.  One of his grea...

The various forms of Liberation Theology in the west are for the most part political in nature.  They present social theologies that are suppose to solve, and or resolve the depest porblems of the human condition. Liberation Theologies are filled with angst, anger, and journeys into tortured logic and bitter rage.  However, the Scriptures present a different picture of Liberation Theology.  In the...

Joshua was taken aback by the empirical lie.  He found himself wallowing in the flesh.  After the Ai disaster he held a pity party before God, and said things that he knew he did not really believe.  Such is the power of the empirical lie with its deceptive power.  The empirical lie limits our faith perception, and makes us believe that human perception is absolute.  When in fact human perception...

The west has told us that we are mind-body beings.  The west has told us that the cognitive part of the brain does executive functions, and this is the most important part of the sacred self.  The west has told us that we are mere physico-chemical "beings" and when we die there is only the unconscious void where we cease to be.  This is of course ontological gaslighting!  No one believes their lie...

Do you feel that God is silent when it comes to your grief?  Do you believe that God is too busy to be concerned with your grief or disappointment?  Do you try to pray but you are paralyzed by grief?  Are you numbed by the unrelenting pain of psychic distress?  Do you long for a sustaining word when you are experiencing a long night of the soul?  Please know beloved that God knows the depths of yo...

The ancient biblical documents are a living treasure.  They inform us of the necessary connection between our spiritual lives and our personal health.  This reality has been lost in the culture at large.  Unfortunately, western theology has lost this connection too.  Nevertheless, we have within the Word of God the vital truths that we need to live life in super-abundance.  It is exciting to know...

We are enjoined by God to walk by faith, and not by sight.  Faith is not a leap in the dark, and nor is it a silly unfounded assumption.  Faith is founded upon divine revelation.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.  God has provided for us the Scriptures which teach us the importance of trusting Him.  When we do not walk by faith, the enemy can and wil...
