The deep evil of which humans are more than capable, lies in this: Not content with open rebellion against their maker, they engage in Machiavellian religion; they pursue their course against God while professing devotion to him. They think to use God for their purpos...

Clearly, this is not an exhortation to lovelessness per se. We are not asked to turn a cold shoulder to everyone and everything. The 'world' is the ego in all its individual, cultural, political, nationalist and racial expressions. It is relentless in its determination...

What would make a human being come out with such a statement; an expression--not of autonomy, but of subordination, dependence and ignorance. It flies in the face of 21st century human consciousness. Are we not now--in addition to being merely self-conscious-- self-ma...

With this single sentence, John lays bare the phoniness of so much religion; so much that calls itself Christian. This does not mean that followers of Jesus are sinless (see 1 John 1:8). It means that the rallying point, the central interest, the inspiration, instruct...

Are there any wise men? Yes, there are. Are there any strong? Of course. Are there rich men? Plenty of them. So why ought they not glory in their natural or cultivated gifts? Because they are only men! They are mere humans, and what a man is in relation to God is what...

John makes an astounding assertion; not astounding because he claims to have witnessed Jesus' career first hand with his own ears and eyes, but because he believes that in his personal acquaintance with Jesus the man, he encountered God. This is the reason for his exu...

Yes, WE TOO. That is to say, even the lawful, moral and devout ought not believe in their own decency and piety. They ought not do so because it is fa...

This is not a maxim which should be used say, by an investor in the stock market, as an insurance to guarantee profits. It is not a promise of short t...
