This phrase, “… a mixture of dust and divinity”, used to describe Man, is one which I first came across in the musings of Oswald Chambers: “God made human beings a mixture of dust and deity. The dust of a man’s body is his glory, not his shame. Jesus Christ manifested Himself in that dust, and He claims that He can presence anyone with His own divinity. The New Testament teaches how to keep

I recently heard a new word. Now, I don’t generally like new words – most of the old ones seem to work pretty well and the majority of the new ones that crop up seem to be there simply to replace the old ones because people are bored with them. I contend that if we took the time to understand the words we use, most of them are more than adequate to the task. But I digress. The word is roadbuzz

A recent email from a colleague and friend has pushed me to clarify my thinking in an area where I have been ruminating for some months now. His query came as a request to explain more fully a brief conversation we had a few days ago. Thanx, Paul, for the push! And, thanx, too, to Roger E. Olson, in The Story of Christian Theology, Twenty Centuries of Tradition & Reform. It was reading in his

CTS, where I “live and move and have my being” is a small “Community of Faith.” As we all know, any “community” must have its rules for living together in peace and harmony whether it is composed of a couple, a family, an interest group, a church or some other such group which has a common focus.Not everyone is easily convinced to live according to such rules, but they find themselves for

I'm not a big fan of "Christian" novelists but occasionally, for light reading, I pick up one of the books that Johanna leaves out and work through it. Some are, obviously, better writers than others and I may read more of those.I am currently reading Before I Wake by Dee Henderson in which my attention was caught by this conversation between two of the protagonists of the story:"Isn't it

It's interesting where one finds good thoughts when one reads a lot. I have just been re-reading an early Agatha Christie novel, Death Comes As the End, and came across this:"All [are] obsessed with death? And do you know why? Because we have eyes in our bodies, but none in our minds. We cannot conceive of a life other than this one -- of a life after death. We can visualize only a

Well, as a fully-accredited 60-something geek, I have decided I need a blog! I'll be attempting to keep some of my current thoughts "out there" and hope it doesn't get me into too much trouble with the powers that be.Profdifficile
