Garden of Eden

The Power of Small

In today’s world, we can all easily walk around exhausted. We often run on empty because we try to survive a perfect storm unique to our time.  We are caught between internet algorithms dictating our attention, mega-metrics measuring our worth, and a relentless wave of global awareness, which constantly shakes us. We must be honest with ourselves about what we face.  Algorithms are not just behind our social media. They power our news feeds, purchases, and a myriad of other activities … [Read more...] about The Power of Small

The Jungle Grows Back

A book titled The Jungle Grows Back is an indicator of prophetic advancement, and can be used as an analogy for our own personal spiritual lives. These are my words, not the author’s, as I draw the analogy.

The Garden of Eden

Scholars have long scratched their heads trying to figure out the exact location of the garden God planted eastward in Eden. That it is a physical place is not in doubt. Out of the ground the Eternal made trees grow that were pleasing to the sight and good for food. The garden was watered by a river, which then parted into four rivers. It was into this physical setting that man was placed with the instructions to tend and keep the garden. It must have been a fabulous environment as everything … [Read more...] about The Garden of Eden
