Fitch begins the introduction to his heretical work with two basically-flawed premises that there are “only two types of power in the world” and that “God’s power is never coercive.” “I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was...

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

In John 18 we are given an account of the arrest of Jesus that led to the completion of His earthly mission: the fulfillment of the law and the prophets as Messiah, and His atonement/propitiation for our sins through His death on the Cross in order to bring us into right relationship with the Father; through full faith in Jesus Christ and baptism into His death, we have been given the right to become children of God. Judas led an...

This very logical and thought-provoking talk is too valuable not to share here. I highly recommend listening to the entire talk (in order to hear each point dissected and parsed, as it progresses) as this woman methodically explains why in most cases (she gives examples of where she finds exception) we should not participate in this. Toward the end she raises some thoughts about the topic that I had not previously considered, regarding the pro-fragility aspect. She also articulates the...

Deconstructing Deconstructionism

There’s a term that keeps coming to the forefront of the various socio-politico culture wars with its most direct implication toward biblical Christianity. If you’ve not heard the term deconstruction or you are not sure what that means, I hope to set forth an understanding by which you can recognize it when you see it, and if your allegiance is to Jesus, to be aware of its one goal: the complete deconstruction and destruction of the Christian faith. __________ I...

Be Thou My Vision. The early Church responding to adversities. The Butterfly Effect. What do all three of these things have in common? Yesterday, I was listening to Be Thou My Vision. I thought about some things. I thought about spiritual battles. I wrestled with navigating proper response, not simply reaction. I thought about Jesus’ call to non-violence…I thought about His silences…and I thought about His speaking. I thought about the book of Ecclesiastes…a time to be silent and a...

I was painting this afternoon, finally, for a good block of time. I’ve been really distracted by so much, recently. As I listened to music, painted and thought about various things, I was wondering to myself…how, if or when might I even hear or know when my youngest son’s twins are born – my grandbabies – since he has decided to have no contact with me. I got to thinking about a story a dear older friend told me. More...

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
