Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
Kevin Camp's Blog – 9th mo. 2010 Archive (4)
The Divine Role Within Personal Expression and Social Reform
What follows is something that has been weighing on me heavily this morning. Discussing the act of vocal ministry, a Friend noted that, while in the act of sharing a message, we aren't just God's mouthpiece, we are God. This makes me uncomfortable to contemplate.

The Myth of Scarcity, The Reality of Abundance

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.And yet, wanting more, desiring more, being fearful that what we have will soon leave us, these anxieties are responsible for so much evil in the world. The myth of scarcity influences our decisions in so many ways. The reality is that we live in a world packed full of… Continue
