Everyone has “issues.” The source for our particular “issue” is unique to each of us. It might be your…Parents…Culture…Emotional Wounds…Traumatic Events… Experiences…Circumstances…Rejection…Circumstances of Abuse…Times of Neglect. We all have “issues.” Peter had issues…even after Easter.  Read John 21 to see what I mean. Jesus worked through those issues with Peter.  He does the same with us.  […]

The Crucifixion – did God die?! (Thoughts from Robert Jenson-via Andre Rabe) “That we see God in sufferings and the cross would never be guessed from them.

Welcome To The Dance

Perichoresis literally means “to dance around.” The Father, Eternal Son, and the Holy Spirit are contantly moving around, toward one another, in a beautiful dance of love, mutual submission, relationship, and intimacy.  Inside that circle there is wholeness, Oneness, union, and eternal […]
