Four Hundred Texts on Love 11
39. Do not say that you are the temple of the Lord, writes Jeremiah (cf. Jer. 7:4); nor should you say that faith alone in our Lord Jesus Christ can save you, for this is impossible unless you also acquire love for Him through your works. As for faith by itself, ‘the devils also believe, [...]

Original Sin 4 – Karma
Although not directly related to the topic of original sin, I think it’s important to briefly touch upon the framework of karma as I explore the ways I interacted with the idea of inherited guilt in my personal journey.

The Didache 33 – Coda
This post, You Cannot Be Too Gentle, captures much of the heart of what I was trying to say about even the difficult ground of reproof. The quote is short so I’ll reproduce it here. You cannot be too gentle, too kind. Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other. Joy, radiant [...]
The Didache 26 – Open Communion?
This series is reflecting on the Didache if you want to read it separately. But let no one eat or drink of your Eucharist, unless they have been baptized into the name of the Lord; for concerning this also the Lord has said, “Give not that which is holy to the dogs.” I tend toward [...]
