Thankful Thursday ~ Random
2012-02-09 01:34:00
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. (Psalm 9:1-2 ESV) Honestly I could not come up with just one thing to write about this week ...
Thankful Thursday ~ Power of Prayer
2012-02-02 04:22:00
“And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, ?Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.?” (Luke 22:41-42 ESV ~ emphasis mine) Many times I pray short prayers; prayers for family or friends. I pray throughout the day; ...

Thankful Thursday ~ Christmas
2011-12-22 02:00:00
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.? And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising ...
It?s Class and Practice, Stupid!
2011-12-21 17:00:00
?You?re deceiving yourself! Even if you did believe in God, it would make no sense to believe alone. You?d have to believe in him the same way the poor do; you?d have to become one of them. It?s only by
God the Master Painter
2011-11-23 15:19:00
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! (Psalm 37:7 ESV) The other night as I was working on portraits for a client, I noticed the orange hue hitting our back window. I knew ...
9 Things Being A Dad Has Taught Me About God
2011-11-09 15:25:00
I love being a dad. One of the greatest accomplishments in my life is that I am the father of four amazing boys. One of my new struggle as a parent has been letting a son go into the Army, not because I didn’t want him to go, but because I won’t see or hear ...

The kiss of Shirdi Sai Baba
2011-04-29 20:36:00
Om Sadguru Shri Sainathaya Namaha ! I would have never dreamt of writing a blog post with this title on    this blog. But have to do it, after getting a comment on the last post  Intense love is all that Sadguru or the God wants on the facebook and replying to the comment. Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba, of devotees where they feel Baba?s presence always fascinates me. In last post it is mentioned that a contemporary devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba, Mahali who had deep spiritual love for her Sadguru Sai Baba, had a dream vision in which Sai Baba kissed her cheek before giving her the message. Now the comment on the facebook from a Sai Baba devotee, Neeraja Nimmagadda, where the last post was linked. It goes, ?Jai Sairam! My life too changed from 2004, when I came to know about Sai Deva for the very first time! For me He is more than 200% true and alive! Without Him, I am nothing. Thank U Alpesh for this soul touching leela!!!! Baba too came in my dream and kissed my ...
Thank God for Tim Minchin.
2011-04-09 13:23:00
…and Don Miguel Ruiz. I’ve now been living my life for many years by following Ruiz’s Four Agreements. First published in 1997, this book helped me to reinforce the logic and way of thinking I’d been developing through my own maturity and put it into four simple concepts that I could follow for life. Agreement ...
Apologetics
2011-03-29 22:43:00
I was struck by this post, called An Open Apology, which Joe also read in church this week. He essentially proposes that the best form of apologetics is apologizing – demonstrating that God is real by apologizing up front for the things people have done in his name, rather than by careful reasoning and arguments ...
Is Morality the Goal?
2010-12-10 18:19:00
I found this quote today, attributed to Gandhi: “The message of Jesus as I understand it, is contained in the Sermon on the Mount unadulterated and taken as a whole. If then I had to face only the Sermon on the Mount and my own interpretation of it, I should not hesitate to say, ‘Oh, ...
Chunks of Brain
2010-10-29 22:29:00
Friday, 4pm. I am lonely at my job. That is not my job’s fault. I want more out of life, that is the problem. What I want out of life is not the big, life-dream, I-was-made-for-this-moment event. I want connection. And reality. Something meaningful to someone else, or several someone elses. This week I thought ...
God Sent His Very Best
2010-10-18 15:54:00
God’s plan to save you and I wasn’t a last minute ditch effort. It wasn’t drawn up in the sand like some hail-mary to pull out a win at the end. No, the Father’s plan to save you and I was a perfectly planned out event that came to be LONG before the world was even ...
All Things Work Together for My Good?
2010-07-15 20:22:00
One of the most common Bible verses that gets quoted is, ?all things work together for good for those who love God? (Romans 8:28). At least that?s the one people give me. Unfortunately the theology of this verse has been lost in the whole mentality of self; a poor theology.
First Impressions
2010-05-28 16:43:00
After many months deep in thought and deliberation I’ve decided this blog needs a makeover. Actually there was very little thought and deliberation involved at all; it was instead a collection of observations over the last year or so that the topics and ruminations I’ve typically explored on this blog over the last two and ...
The Quiet Weeding Out Of Sathya Sai Baba?s Embarrassing Statements
2010-05-06 02:03:00
The official Sathya Sai 'weeders' have removed the presence on the internet of major Sathya Sai Baba claims. These are of the sort bound to attract prompt dismissal in the minds of many enquirers. An extremely wide cross-section of any public, except those of his own fold, would regard his claims as stemming from megalomania. And it is those enquirers - and the money and skill-sets that successful recruitment can bring - that Sathya Sai Baba's organization desperately needs as donors if it is to continue to pay its astronomical bills. What to speak of subsidizing his promise to rule the world before he leaves it, circa 2022! It should be noted that the huge claims have not, in and of themselves, been withdrawn. But they are being kept as in-house as possible. Secular fronts like his 'Education in Human Values' and 'Educare' have been developed, which aim to penetrate schools, universities and and other mainstream institutions. But the tall claims are an absolute article of ...
What is the Point of Life?
2010-03-26 12:36:00
Today I received a personal invitation from Aim for Awesome to share my thoughts on “The Point of Life”. Vern said it could be “two sentences, or two pages – up to you”. Anybody who could so profoudly sum up the answer to this question in two sentences is a better person than me. To ...
The concept of God and evil are incompatible
2010-03-23 01:57:00
The age old question: Is the concept of an omnipotent and omnibenevolent God compatible with evil?  It has been debated amongst theists and atheists for centuries. I have been participating in a... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
A Newborn?s Conversation With God
2009-12-30 06:37:00
I received this from a friend a work some months back.  I love this. A Newborn’s Conversation With God: A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God said, “Your angel will be waiting for you ...
12 Pearls of Christmas: Just God
2009-12-15 12:00:00
A Tangible Reminder by Mary Byers Last year I read Me, Myself, & Bob: A True Story About Dreams, God, and Talking Vegetables by Phil Vischer, creator of the Veggie Tales video series. I was interested because my children grew up on Veggie Tales. But I was also interested because somewhere along the way I noticed Phil ...
If God Was an Alien?

The Parallel Divergence blog has been around for over three years now with sporadic articles being posted covering a wide range of topics, all carefully crafted with the intention of making the reader think, question and respond. I’ve enjoyed the large number of comments that most of my articles attract and I’ve learned from people ...
The Bible of Militant Atheism
2009-10-28 03:48:00
Contrary to the mainstream religious belief, incredulity and skepticism regarding the ultimate nature of truth, existence of God and eschatological claims of scripture is not an entirely modern phenomenon. In his famous thought experiment Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, Ibn Tufayl the famous Muslim philosopher of 12th century Spain, aesthetically described discovery of God as the “joy ...

It?s Not About Me
2009-09-28 23:07:00
I read Francis Chan’s book Crazy Love the better part of a year ago, and I’m going back through it now with our small group. It’s a short book and a quick read, but I think I’ll always be measuring my life by some of the standards it touches on. Reading it alone the first ...

It was Nature reminding Man that it cannot be taken for granted and will not be ignored.   Photo by NSW Maritime Man often thinks he can do anything. Clearing jungles, re-routing rivers, building cities. But it’s nothing to crow about as we are cautioned that ...

Part 2: Crossan on the Meaning of Christ?s Sacrifice
2009-08-06 18:16:00
The following is excerpted from John Domonic Crossan?s book, ?God and Empire?: “THE MEANING OF SACRIFICE” Apart from narrativity, let alone historicity, there is the deeper question of the theology within which Jesus’s execution is understood then and now by Christian believers. For The Passion of the Christ and millions of Christians, it was a theology of ...
Shameful Revelation
2009-07-23 15:36:00
Thank God, I will get a view of the Battle of Armageddon from the grand stand seats of the heavens. All who are born again will see the battle of Armageddon, but it will be from the skies (Carl McIntire, 1965) What then should be the believer’s attitude to the destruction of the world by fire? ...
The Gospels and Anti-Semitism
2009-07-21 00:15:00
In his book, ?God and Empire?, John Dominic Crossan makes a good case for the claims that the popular portrayals of Jesus’ passion is at the root of anti-Semitism: The residents of the Bavarian village of Oberammergau have staged a Passion Play every decade on the decade and also on special anniversaries in gratitude for protection ...

Now I Get It?.The REAL Trinity
2009-06-30 02:54:00
Ah. It just struck me this evening. There IS  such a thing as a Trinity that is supported by church doctrine, tradition and history. But it is none too holy. Posted in Christianity, God, Gospel, Orthodoxy, Religion Tagged: Babylon, Caesar, Doctrine, Holy Trinty
34 Psalms In 34 Days: Psalm 46
2009-06-03 18:46:00
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of ...
Sitting Where Angels Stand
2009-06-03 01:57:00
Good thoughts from David Mathis… What?s more impressive than standing in God?s presence?  Sitting?and doing so at the right hand. An angel said to John the Baptist?s father: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God” (Luke 1:19).  That?s noteworthy. But more so is what Hebrews says about Jesus:  “After making purification for sins, he sat ...
34 Psalms In 34 Days: Psalm 47
2009-06-02 19:18:00
Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth. He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the ...

The Old Man?
2009-05-25 18:10:00
I didn’t write this, I received this in an email. It may be an *Urban Legand*, maybe not. In any case, I don’t care. Just enjoy it for what it is and remember those that gave ALL they had for this nation. The Old Man… As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing ...
American Gospel: The Parable of the Strong Goats and the Weak Sheep
2009-05-21 15:55:00

Are You Better Off In The Boat Or Out?
2009-03-14 23:55:00
A lesson I preached in the A.M. assembly of February 8, 2009 at Laurel Canyon. Jonah and Jesus.  Two accounts of two storms bad enough to worry experienced sailors, but two storms that were ultimately calmed (Jonah 1:15; Mark 6:51-52).  The difference is in HOW the storms were calmed.  And that leads us to a ...
