Chasing Aslan in the Real World
There is always a slight hesitancy to write these blog entries. Sometimes it keeps me away for a week or two because I am deeply aware that I am speaking about ancient, foundational things; the "Deep Magic" Aslan refers to in the "Chronicles of Narnia". This is not Sunday picnic conversation topics. Actually, maybe they... Continue Reading →
This week I was going over the verses in the 11th chapter of 1 Corinthians that we use regularly for our communion services, when for some reason the word “covenant” stuck out to me. I started to think about the meaning of the word. My understanding was that it was simply a promise made between... Continue Reading →

Actually there has been quite a lot that has been working on my heart lately. The LORD is working on me regarding all sorts of issues,... Continue Reading →

There has been a mindset, for millennia perhaps, within the Christian Church that we must simply endure this physical world until we finally get to heaven where we really belong, and we will...

Months later here we are chapter two of Genesis. I imagine that once we are out of Eden the narrative analysis will go a lot more smoothly and quickly, but there is so much packed here in these very few pages; so many gems that we overlook to get to the “good stuff”. ... Continue Reading →
