    The Holy Spirit affirms: we each had a word spoken over us, into which we were born

    Hi there, So I have spent a long time, wrestling with what it is to identify with God, particularly in the light of Evolution - there is a sense in which they are two very different things, so I have spent time trying to understand it. What the Holy Spirit has been able to get across, is that...

    Ok. Question: in the Bible Jesus speaks in parables; what general statement does Evolution make?

    Hi there, So basically there is a difference between text and subtext. When Jesus went around preaching, He would speak in parables - sharing text with people, but keeping the subtext to Himself and His disciples.

    When the apostles began to debate among themselves who would be preeminent in the kingdom of heaven, Jesus stepped in to teach them an important lesson. Humility is the practice of taking a modest or low view on one’s own importance. Jesus, although equal to God, walked the earth as a humble...

    An opportunity for you: help name a new kind of Evolution

    Hi there, So I have come to the conclusion that Evolution deserves its own category. Due to Evolution getting its own category, it behoves the adept to begin to set out things which do not belong to Evolution - according to that category (but belong to that category, because the category is...

    What Jesus Teaches About Panning For Gold

    In some ways, Jesus is building his kingdom in a process similar to gold panning. As you may know, gold panning is the process of scooping up mud and sloshing it around until the useless material washes away and only the gold is remaining. Because gold is a more substantial material than the...
