Chasing Aslan in the Real World
And now we come to the first contentious part of the Bible. Well, at least this is true in modern times. To be fair the idea of God literally creating the universe, literally creating each living thing with words from His mouth is fairly controversial. But the idea of God creating us as Male and...

Dominion. I'm not sure that there is anything that I am more uncomfortable with in the Bible than the concepts of "dominion" and "authority". When they are in the hands of God, absolutely fine.

It would be far too easy to skip over the domestic scene with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and pretend that it doesn’t matter.

It's easy to pity Lucy. She knows she isn't making up the kingdom in the wardrobe. She is beset on all sides with siblings who minimize, call her foolish, or even go so far as to outright lie when she finally proved her experience true. As a Christian, and especially when we are following our... Continue Reading →
It is an entirely normal human reaction that when we see a truth and become excited by it we feel the desire to tell others. This Something has illuminated our life, shown us a level or texture we haven’t before seen. Our joy bubbles over and we want to express it like Lucy when she... Continue Reading →
Welcome to a new feature here at Finding Narnia...the Addendum. The name will probably change because I'm not happy with it at the moment but it's the best I can find right now. The Addendum is a place where I drop things related to the subjects I want to promote here but has no immediate... Continue Reading →
