Delaying Life

Have you noticed that people don’t start life until very late these days? By the time their grandparents were their age that earlier generation had built a career, raised children, taken responsible roles in church and community and gained maturity from each of those ventures.
Today, however, adults are still locked into the insecurities of youth: [...]

Unworthy Still

The skinny weakling staggered before the hulking thug. After several knock-out blows that had sent the upstart to the hard floor of the ring, it was a miracle the bony stripling could move at all, let alone dance to duck the next lethal blows. The jeering, cheering crowd urged their hero to finally finish the [...]

Illegal Laws

In an earlier lesson, Logophile on Law, I explained that there are various types and levels of law which impact us. Not all laws are equal, even though we call them all “laws”, and so it is important to understand the various types of laws and which ones apply to us.
This lesson jumps into the [...]

Pagan Christianity Book Review

Pagan Christianity (book review) by Frank Viola and George Barna. 2002 / 2008. Exploring the Roots of our Church Practices

So, what is it that causes such social dissolution? What is it that holds societies together, so they don’t collapse? How can we best protect [...]

Lost in the Rush of Life

Here is an interesting account of something that should make you think. It’s about a busker at the Washington DC Metro Station, playing his violin to a rush-hour crowd at around 8am on a Friday morning. The date is January 12, 2007.
The violinist played for about 43 minutes, performing six classical pieces by Bach. A [...]

Logophile on Law

Law is a word that fools us. Since law has serious impact on our lives we need to understand the term and how to use it properly. Importantly, we need to be aware of how it is used against us.
Some people come under the penalty of law, when the “law” used against them was not [...]

Rejection 16 – Cut Off Source of Hurt

The fourth response to rejection which I identify in victims is their choice to cut off the source of their hurt. This is an extension of the previous lesson, where rejected people distance themselves from certain people or type of people who have contributed to their pain. This lesson looks at the broader situation where [...]
