Plotting Mile Markers on the Way to the Eschaton
The little back and forth over “plotting” was interesting. You plot a course, you plot mile markers, you plot a map. This came over the Internet. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/05/us/california-judge-martin-jenkins-trnd/index.html Relevance realization is the core of one of my conversation partners John Vervaeke … Continue reading

I’d love to see complementarian CRC churches figure out the challenge of authority in women’s ministry in and beyond our walls
Necessity is the Mother of Invention I teach in a little classical program called “Sierra Leadership Network” which usually attracts gifted and interested individuals who either aren’t quite ready for formal ministry training through a seminary or for one reason … Continue reading
