God Is Not a “He”. The Actual Names of God and Why They Matter

Last updated on: January 26, 2023 at 1:08 am By John D Gee

The way in which God is called, says much about how the people see God and the characteristics that define God. When God gives a name, God is providing additional revelation of Gods character. We can also learn a great deal when no particular name is used. This also shows us attributes about God found in the names God is called. It is within the names of God we reveal the relationship humankind has with the divine. Pronouns to describe... Read more

Celtic Thought on General Revelation

Last updated on: October 19, 2023 at 4:58 pm By John D Gee

Celtic Christian thought seeks to mend a fracture in general revelation. Western Christianity has caused this fracture in its war on science. Western Christianity has privatized religion and used science to violate the earth (Simpson, 1994). Secular humanism and Greek philosophy, which advocates for this compartmentalization has caused a drifting away from general revelation. And has shrunk its importance to the life and theology of the Christian. This drifting has led to many Reformed and Pentecostal movements to misinterpret general... Read more

The 12 Apostles of Ireland Part II- Lessons For The Modern Christian World

Last updated on: August 3, 2021 at 1:54 pm By John D Gee

The Journey Continues As we continue to discuss the modern applications of Irelands ancient Christian founders, it is important to point out some simple observations about these persons. First, these 12, similar to the Apostles of Jesus came from all walks of life. This was a diverse group from different regions of Ireland and different socio-economic backgrounds. This is something dearly needed in the modern church. We need voices from all walks, experiences and cultures. As God made all of... Read more

Permission to Be Broken- Mental Health and the Cross

Last updated on: July 26, 2021 at 12:26 pm By John D Gee

As I continue reading and re-reading Sarah J. Robinson’s amazing book “I Love Jesus, But I Want To Die” The more I realize how ignored Mental Health is in the church. As me and My cohost of Bishop Brothers, Aaron Williams discussed the book on our weekly Facebook and YouTube show, it hit me. The Church views Mental Health as a PR problem. The Church doesn’t deal with mental health, because it does not want to admit it needs help.... Read more

Micah’s Lament- Mourning the Church, Even When it Needs to Die

Last updated on: October 19, 2023 at 4:57 pm By John D Gee

As I was in prayer and study this morning, my studies brought me to the book of Micah. Now, as a guy with a Biblical Studies Doctorate with an Old Testament emphasis, this wasn’t my first read. But as I was reading the page, a particular portion struck a hard nerve with me. It struck a nerve because I realized that I am mourning the church. and Micah’s Lament seemed to say what I was thinking. (Micah 1:8-9). Because of... Read more

The 12 Apostles of Ireland- 3 Parables from Lives of the Celtic Way

Last updated on: July 16, 2021 at 3:51 pm By John D Gee

The Celtic Spiritual Way of Christianity may seem to many like a new form of Christianity. However, the reality of the Celtic Faith is that it is in fact an ancient Christian faith. It is older than every Protestant faith and is only matched in age by the Roman and Eastern Orthodox Churches. While it is true that the Celtic Church was never an entity separate from the Roman Church, Celtic Christianity was a unique form of Christianity. It was... Read more

The Great Commission is Not the Purpose of the Church

Last updated on: July 8, 2021 at 4:20 pm By John D Gee

Almost every student in seminary that I have taught, as well as close friends and other pastors have all said it. “The purpose of the Christian Church is the Great Commission. Ill be very honest, I too, in the past have given this statement as to the purpose and call of the church. But this is simply not the truth. The true purpose and task of the Christian goes so much deeper than the spread of the gospel message and... Read more

Freedom Sunday- Putting Country Over Christ

Last updated on: July 1, 2021 at 12:24 pm By John D Gee

There have been many articles and Twitter comments on a Freedom Sunday service recently in Texas. You can see the promo here. This article is not meant as an attack on this church or its members. This is an observation of someone who is deeply in love with Christ, who watched the video linked above. My concern isn’t with one church. My concern is with the American Body of Christ as a whole when it come to the melding of Christianism... Read more

National Flags and Their Place in Christian Worship

Last updated on: June 26, 2021 at 2:46 pm By John D Gee

Many times, I am asked the question about flags in a worship service. I am asked “Should they even be in the sanctuary?” “If they are in the sanctuary, should they be near the altar, on the stage or in the back?” I believe I get asked this question a lot because I am a 21-year Navy veteran as well as an ordained Pastor. In many ways I often find myself straddling the divide between church and state, specifically when... Read more

The Ocean Blessing- The Carmina Gadelica Series

Last updated on: June 25, 2021 at 1:52 pm By John D Gee

In places like Ireland and Scotland, the ocean was a major part of life. It should come as no surprise that many prayers and incantations for the sea were common. Carmichael, in his book Carmina Gadelica explains that these likely originated with “early Celtic missionaries, who constantly traversed in their frail skin coracles the storm-swept, strongly tidal seas of those Hebrid Isles, oft and oft sealing their devotion with their lives. A Prayer for Protection on a Perilous Journey Before... Read more
