In other posts, I’ve talked about my conversion, talking myself out of my conversion, investigating eastern religions, and finally returning to Christianity. Soon after deciding to re-investigate Christianity, I ran into one of Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW’s) and got entangled with them for six months. I will spare you a long description of that little foray. One…

Knowing the Satisfied God–Rabon Byrd
Knowing the Satisfied God–Rabon Byrd A few months back, one of my Facebook friends posted a quote that caught my attention. The quote was from a book he had written, and he was meditating on it. I asked for a copy of the book and a pdf version of Knowing the Satisfied God appeared in my…
More than Eden
Before the fall, Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden. They weren’t subject to sin or death. But they hadn’t eaten from the tree of life either. Had they eaten from that tree, the Lord wouldn’t have stopped them after the fall: “Since man has become like one of Us, knowing good from…
The Fullness of Every Message
When it comes to the Bible, I am passionate about one thing above all others—seeing Christ in every scripture (Luke 24:44-46). While I acknowledge other messages in scripture, Christ is the fullness of every other message. We must see that Christ is the end of old covenant laws. He is the substance of the commandments…

A (Not So) Happy Mother’s Day
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, a day when many of us celebrate our mothers and wives. As tomorrow approaches, I am reminded of a number of people I know who have lost children–due to miscarriage, still birth, accidents or unexplained reasons. Perhaps this is true of others who follow The Voice of One. I cannot fathom such…
Given Like a Star, Given Like a Tree
The Starry Night (Vincent Van Gogh) The following is something I wrote in my journal four or five years ago. *** I don’t know how to put this into words, so I won’t even try to do it well… I was sitting outside tonight, enjoying my yard, enjoying the night. Suddenly, the world was opened…
