I have received a challenge from a true Christian friend about my musing on Libertarian Theology. When I started with the Declaration of Independence, and talked of God's limits, she challenged me: show from Scripture that God limits Himself. I have taken my time, not because of the scarcity, but because of the abundance of … Continue reading Scriptural Proof

Time for a paradigm shift
She had no intent of making sweeping changes to her church, to any church, but yet the little mustard seed of her comment -- what a great tree is growing from it in my mind, and I hope it has the faith to make great changes.
