Understanding the Parable of the Four Soils
Mt. 13:3b “Listen! A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell on a path, and the birds came and ate them up. 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. 6 But when the sun rose, they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns…

Journey into the Depths of the Soul
Radiant purposes of slowly bursting understandings Allow room for the unveiling of violet spinning mysteria That reaches to the place where the human soul Intertwines with the ages and all becomes one. + Anima, Hokhmah, and Hera hold hands As they dance in slow rhythmic circles to pipes and drums That are keeping time with the music of spheres Resonating from a parallel…

The Importance of Dialectical Thinking in Modern Discourse
Perhaps because we have less and less exposure to a broad liberal arts education that includes the study of classical literature, music, and art, coupled with increasing exposure to social media, the current trend seems to be leaning increasingly towards dichotomous thinking. Algorithms herd us into silos. Also called black and white thinking, dichotomous thinking divides issues into two simple…

Decoding Luke 2: The Nativity and Roman Politics
Luke 2:1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the [Roman] world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. To begin with, when was Jesus born? It’s clear from Matthew’s nativity account in chapter 2 that Jesus was born while Herod the Great ruled in Judea. Herod the Great died in 4 BC. Of that, everyone…

The Biblical Narrative of Resurrection vs. Platonism
I’ll Fly Away? The dominant philosophy in the ancient Roman empire was Platonism. Augustine was influenced by Aristotle, who was a student of Platonic thought. Plato believed that the conscious everyday world in which we exist is only a shadow of reality. Reality is nonmaterial. The real person is a nonmaterial soul that is imprisoned in a body and that is finally released at death. Through…

The Journey of Faith Deconstruction
We all want to belong. We all want to be loved. We all want to be accepted. It feels good to be welcomed into any group, but especially so in a faith community because of the added element of spiritual meaning and joint mission. I wasn’t raised in church, but those who were often have an added sense of shared familial bonds. The belief system of the church in which they were raised is imbedded in…

Unlocking Spiritual Breakthroughs: A Journey to Truth
Things cruise along, business as usual, until there’s a paradigm-shifting breakthrough. It was assumed humans could not fly until the Wright brothers demonstrated otherwise. It was generally accepted that the speed of sound was impossible to exceed until Charles Yeager did it.

Understanding the Cross: A Call to Authentic Service
Matthew 10 … 38and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me.39 Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. Your cross is not the hard times you may be going through, nor the chronic pain you may endure. Your cross is not your spouse or your boss. Roman crucifixion was one of the most brutal and torturous ways ever…

Rethinking Reality: Insights from the Sermon on the Mount
Thoughts on the Sermon on the Mount Matthew 5-7 Part 21 By it very chiastic structure, the Sermon on the Mount doesn’t end. After Jesus finished preaching, Matthew adds, 7:28 Now when Jesus had finished saying these words, the crowds were astounded at his teaching, 29 for he taught them as one having authority and not as their scribes. The crowds of people, some dedicated apprentices,…
