Grace
A conversation I had recently went a bit like this (protecting names & details for confidentiality): “Greg, do you have anything you have written about the issue of attraction, similar to what you shared at group last time? One of my (many) growth areas is what to do with attraction. I definitely was an “Every…

“That Guy”
Our God has a sense of humor. How can you look at platypuses … platypi? … or armadillos or manatees or any number of other animals and not think so? With that in mind, let’s try something lighter-hearted, yet still with a point. There must always be a point. Right? On August 1, 1995 a…

Freedom
I speak and write a lot about freedom. I named our blog site after an aspect of freedom – we were created to be free.

Molding or Chiseling?
Last week’s blog was an encouragement to find a “Freedom Process” where you and God can come to a mutual agreement that He is in charge, His Word is Law, He has a plan for your life, His plan for you is perfect, He forgives, He offers Freedom, He is Elohim, Jehovah AND Adonai (see…

The Truth will set you Free
Truth. When Jesus said the truth will set you free I’ve always thought that was in the context of the Gospel message; about hearing the Good News about Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection and the accompanying salvation. I believe now that He intended a much bigger meaning. Absolutely that is what He meant but like…
