The queen looks into the mirror and asks: Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? You can look at your smartphone and open your camera.

Last updated on: June 11, 2016 at 6:59 pm By Jim Erwin

Rewilding the Way by Todd Wynward Rewilding the Way by Todd Wynward is a book that encourages the reader to (as the subtitle suggests) “break free from an untamed God.” The book is divided into three parts. As a result, I will review this book in three parts as well. PART I: OUR PREDICAMENT, OUR POTENTIAL Wynward states his approach as rewilding spirituality.

Revelation 11:15-19 Jesus Redeemer of the Cosmos Revelation 11:15-19 Jesus Redeemer of the Cosmos is a sermon in the sermon series on Revelation. Many only see Jesus a certain way. They see the Jesus who came to save. The Jesus who showed His loved. But there is more to Jesus than the fact that He came to die for sin. He came to restore us to God.

One of the best reasons to praise God (Psalm 146:1-2) and hope in Him (Psalm 146:5) is because of His compassion. We don’t need to trust anyone else than God (Psalm 146:3-4).

Dismissing God’s Promises With a Laugh June 2, 2016 Genesis 18:9-15 Someone comes to your door and promises that next year you will come into a million dollars. Do you believe them? Or do you dismiss it with a laugh – “Nah, that won’t ever happen to me. I’ll have to work until I die.” Replace the word “money” with “child” and “work” with “be barren” and now you have Sarah’s dilemma. But considering all that she has gone through,... Read more

The Jihad of Jesus by Dave Andrews

Last updated on: May 31, 2016 at 9:59 pm By Jim Erwin

The Jihad of Jesus by Dave Andrews The Jihad of Jesus by Dave Andrews makes the case for the sacred nonviolent struggle for justice. He opens with the following thesis (xiii): For many people jihad and Jesus are totally contradictory, mutually exclusive options. You must choose the one or the other. You cannot have both. Given our present situation, Muslims would tend to choose jihad, Christians would tend to choose Jesus. But it is my contention that—rightly understood—you can’t have... Read more
