Epiphany Press: Happy Monday
http://epiphanypress.blogspot.com/2010/09/happy-monday.html
Proclaiming the One in the midst of the many. Monday, September 13, 2010. This passage could possibly sacntify Mondays. According to Ecclesiastes 3:9-13, What is the best way to see beauty or touch eternity? He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 2 seconds ago• Like• Del. Posted by Chancellor Ben. The Jesuits were founded, as a religious order, specifically to help combat the...

Epiphany Press: September 2013
http://epiphanypress.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Proclaiming the One in the midst of the many. Monday, September 30, 2013. Walter White, that nasty anti-hero from AMC's Breaking Bad, certainly had it coming. He was a non-tribal uncaring selfish jerk, and he was so because most of us believe that part of what it means to be human is to have a natural affinity towards other humans. White? No so much. If anything throughout the show's 5 seasons he only develops a natural affinity towards his own self. What makes you happy? Certainly not his friends and re...

Epiphany Press: Yesterday's Doodle
http://epiphanypress.blogspot.com/2013/04/yesterday-doodle.html
Proclaiming the One in the midst of the many. Monday, April 01, 2013. Last Sunday, Google unveiled a doodle honoring Cesar Chavez. It was his birthday, after all, but this apparently was unknown to the millions of Christians celebrating Easter on the same day. While honoring Chavez aligns with Google's mission of "don't be evil" doing so over and against the context of Easter (unintentionally) came across as an anti-Christian statement. Who is a greater liberator than Jesus? We have no king but Caesar!

Epiphany Press: July 2014
http://epiphanypress.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Proclaiming the One in the midst of the many. Thursday, July 17, 2014. John Owen on Forgiveness. In The Forgiveness of Sin: Illustrated in a Practical Exposition of Psalm CXXX. John Owen has these words to say about grace and forgiveness. I reversed the two paragraphs above to make what is a key observation of Owen's: that faith-found-forgiveness, finding its source in the grace of God the Father, sustains the soul in ways that the soul has yet to discover. What great comfort! That forgiveness depends up...

Epiphany Press: Regret
http://epiphanypress.blogspot.com/2013/09/regret.html
Proclaiming the One in the midst of the many. Friday, September 06, 2013. Forgiveness flounders because I exclude the enemy from the community of humans even as I exclude myself from the community of sinners. Miroslav Volf. I love that thought. That forgiveness means treating the other as a human and not a monster, while remembering that I too have been monstrous. The trick is what to do when we know all too well that what we have done was monstrous and cannot be undone. How to deal with regret?
