Luke 17: 11-19 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he…

Sinners Sin: Dealing With Disappointment in Myself and Others
“What do you expect? Sinners sin.” – Unnamed Pastor, 2001 Struggling with disappointment in others and in myself seems to be a never-ending theme in my life. Deep in my heart and in my mind has always been the very keen awareness that there does exist somewhere perfection. The concept of perfection is set deep in all of our consciousness.…
Flat Earth: Why I Started Down This Path
(Audio Version at the bottom if you no like reading) “I am a scientist and if I can’t back up a scientific fact with scripture, I question it’s validity” – Caroline Leaf That quote just about sums it up.

Biblical Church Revealed During Break from Brick and Mortar
A letter written to my friend that I felt was worthy of sharing to the world as well: Now brace yourself for the rest since you asked! Interestingly, about this time last year we made a decision to pull out of church-church. It’s a long story and had nothing to do with personality conflicts or even really theology, but it…
Flat Earth and the Bible: Did Jesus Talk About Time Zones?
Let us continue our journey towards truth – whether hard or easy. Did Jesus clearly ‘know about time zones’ and ‘talk about time zones’? Let’s take a look at the Bible in Matthew 24:36-42 and Luke 17:33-36 (pasted at the bottom for your convenience): The argument against the flat earth model with these scriptures is that Jesus is ‘clearly talking…
The Journey of Conscience

Church Worship Music: The Good, Bad, Ugly, Right, and Wrong
Music – it’s just so personal. Musical Theory Crash Course – What is Music? Let’s, for a second talk about music on a secular (wordly) level. It’s composed of melody, harmony and rhythm. Theoretically, then, a computer can write a song by adding all of these elements in some way and create ‘music’. And computers can and do this. On…
The Real Jesus of the Bible
I’ve been a professing disciple of Jesus for about 20 years. Prior to meeting Jesus personally, I had seen an Anglican version of Him. It was a ritualistic cookie cutter machine of religious gymnastics. I realized I didn’t have what it took to become good at this sport so I left. When I really met Jesus it was through a…
Manna: What is it? It is this.
UPDATE: I’ve included a response from a friend to this post in the body of the post below under these neato little == markings, removing some personal identifying items. ========================= I could feel the heavy burden on my back when I woke up. It was also on my chest. I could also feel it pushing on my temples (both sides). …
