Seeking God « Glory to God for All Things
Thus, most of my writing is aimed towards the goal of our salvation in the Truth. I do not mind if Protestants, Catholics, Buddhists or Animists (or Atheists) are saved.

Pentecost and Evangelism « Glory to God for All Things
The coming of the Kingdom is not marked by the improved behavior of man, the prisoner of death and corruption - but the new life begotten in Him by the gift of the Spirit - raising humanity from death and corruption into the eternal life of God.

The Emptiness of Christ « Glory to God for All Things
This, it seems to me, says much to us about what it means to become “like Christ.” The moralist approach (which I was taught as a child) is fraught with constant attention to “what would Jesus do?” in a moral calculation that can never end in anything but failure or delusion.

Trying to hang with the non-Orthodox crowd doesn’t work so well, either, because your idea of a wild party is a fish-wine-and-oil day.

Icons and the Heart « Glory to God for All Things
There have been other particular icons in my life, each with its own story. Mostly they are stories of my “prayer partners” to use a common Protestant phrase.

Akido conflict
I had just seen aikido tried in combat, and the essence of it was love. I would have to practice the art with an entirely different spirit. It would be a long time before I could speak about the resolution of conflict.
