  • Third way cont.

    Nearly a year ago, I published two articles (“What kinda company with God is possible?“, “The third way of life in this world“) that claimed: immediate contact with God is in no way that commonplace as most Christians believe. Here, I want to add some thoughts to that tradition to get a sharp criterion what […]

  • The empathic God

    Inspired by a recent discussion with a friend, I’ll get you here on an experimental track of thought. So be warned, and check the content for its truth by the methods you see fit for that. Note that this is just a quick document to save some thoughts … get inspired or build upon it, […]

  • Invitational 'n' transformational

    In addition to my recent article on Amy resp. her YouTube videos on “emo” I wondered how an authentic life with Jesus could be made known to people like the emos, in a way that would make them take Jesus seriously.

He strongly argues that sanctification is the work of […]

It was just started, but until now I don’t know if God recommends or forbids it or if he’s indifferent about it. As this is important to known, I prayed and thought about that, and here’s a thought that […]

  • Second Acts project definition

    Ok then. Finally, this is the “official” start of the Second Acts project. I’ve to admit that its predecessor project (“A Seeker’s Guide to Life”) is not yet finished. But there’s a need to move on now, away from knowing God just by words about him. Definition The project “Second Acts” is a proof that […]
