The work of Christ  was aimed toward humankinds universal brokenness…not simply toward some laundry list of “sinS” that usually includes everything we don’t do (or hide the fact that we do).

Rightly Dividing The Word – Trinitarian Theology

There are lots of conversation around scriptural interpretation that “start” or “end” with the statement “rightly dividing the word of truth.”  In other words, you need to interpret it correctly.  Typically (not always) those who yell that statement the loudest are those most likely guilty of NOT “rightly dividing” the scripture.  Rather they are allowing […]

“You must show that a man’s wrong before you start explaining why he’s wrong. The modern method is to assume w/out discussion that he’s wrong & then distract his attention from this (the only real issue) by busily explaining how he became so silly. In the course of the last 15 yrs I’ve found this […]

Hell No! (?) Julie’s new book? Heck yes!,
