This Blog was finished & Presented on my Wix Blog:   It Wasn't Suppose to be this Hard--Reflections on Knowing Jesus in the American Spiritual/cultural Empire "Dear friends,  do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you  to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name" (I Peter 4: 11-16) . " The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray" (I Peter 4: 7 NIV) .  Turning Troubling Times...  around, in my mind I haven't been able to pray much lat...

Gotta love that.  In the raucous, dangerous environment of Rome, 65 A.D. it was Christians with Susy's spirit that would step into the darkened spaces of Rome's capital city, whose very street lights included the burning flame of Chris...

Where Faith, Science, Doubt & philosophy Meet

By Terry Mattson
  Rough Draft, Reflections on Teaching Mark As always: Comment or add your own thoughts I've never entirely understood the opposition to Post-Modernism from within parts of my own evangelical tradition.  I get the initial hesitation we all feel when anything or anyone places in doubt the paradigms in logic or philosophy upon which our faith (worldview) rests. I certainly understand that my belief in theism of the Christian sort is the most incredible of Narratives. I so want it to be. Worse, I have no desire to live in any universe where God is, in heart and character, other than whom Jesus of Nazareth pictures God to be. Even so, with all said, a larger truth must be admitted or the very foundation of Christendom is lost.  It is: We have to admit we could be wrong.. We who are In Christ believe the most radical of ideas. It is first written in the opening of Mark's Story, just out of the rodeo gate and tested in the first thirty years in the up and downs, rugged turns to...
