To those abusing 1 Peter 3:15
Today, 1 Peter 3:15, was used by no less than three hostile people on twitter to demand answers from me. I find it absolutely incredible that they would use scripture, at all, and without – of course – fully understanding or appreciating it. The…
Smarter use of social media for Christians
Too many Christians fall into the trap of getting involved in social media without realizing the pitfalls and problems they can also bring. Before they know it they are embroiled in either endless circular debates with atheists or have drifted…
Latest update…Spiritual Struggles
I have to admit I am in a prolonged period of spiritual struggle right now. I am yo-yoing so much it’s really quite disturbing. This affect has been felt in all sorts of areas in my life, from work to home,…
Hearing from God again
