Diddly vs Substance

 Theology:  The study of God. 

It is probably safe to say that most people think of Christian theology as tedious and complicated.  And, in fact, it has become that.  But at first – it just wasn’t that complicated.

            However, the world has now been generationally victimized by many spiritually depleted theologians and religious teachers whose pursuit seems to have angled much more toward justifying their own existence than the exposition of authentic truth.  And, we all know, the more complicated you can make something, the more necessary and valuable the “expert” interpreter seems to become.

            And too, it is fairly evident that, in general, we tend to be somewhat mesmerized by those labels and letters which go before and after the names of those experts.  Nevertheless, the reality is that there are many teachers in our world, religious and otherwise, who are adorned with those letters, and yet, they actually know diddly. 

            But typically, these self-deluded fakers are really good at meaningless word salads, gobbledygook, and talking in gibberish-filled circles.  And just as typically, as if under some spell, cast by those lettered accolades, there are also those listeners who embrace the delusion. They, too, start to believe that there is actually some significant substance to be found somewhere in all of that gibberish – when really, there simply is not. 

            So, over the years, many subjects, including Christian theology, have been victimized by this pretense dynamic.  But the Christian theologians and teachers who practice this sort of thing, especially regarding the explanation of Christian redemption, all have a telltale identifier.  They all starkly demonstrate a complete lack of awareness of God’s authentic redemptive End Game – His ultimate redemptive goal. 

            Certainly, even in a simple board game, the idea is to first understand the ultimate purpose of the game, the real point of it all.  This is what gives the game its overall structure.  And, if you don’t understand that ultimate intention, how could one not run off the rails in a multitude of ways as he seeks to play the game? 

            But, in the reverse, once you do understand that ultimte idea, the game starts to become much more intuitive and logical regarding how it’s played, its rules, its strategies, etc.  And, so it is with God’s redemptive agenda. 

            So, here is God’s ultimate goal in Christian redemption.  Here is that final keystone idea which holds everything in place and makes it all work logically.  Indeed, this is the predominant intellectual element in Christian Redemption which those highly credentialed, but poorly informed, theological guys and gals have missed…   

            Christian Redemption is ultimately about putting back better, that intimate, mutually fulfilling friendship between God and man which was lost so long ago in the Garden of Eden. 

            Knowing this to be God’s ultimate aspiration in the redemptive work of both the Dying and the Living Christ makes everything else play out fairly obviously.  And, as a result, all of that superfluous theological tedium and complication, as well as the errors, lies, heresies, and treacheries are pretty much just blown away.

            So, God’s laser focus on the pursuit of this more intimate, durable, and mutually fulfilling friendship with believers plays out very logically like this.  Christ’s death on the Cross was to bring about forgiveness, but not just for the sake of forgiving.  It was God’s opening move in pursuit of this sturdier, new-and-improved, Christ-based God/ believer friendship. 

            But, beyond that tactic, there remained yet another problem which needed to be addressed and eliminated.   It was that still deeply ingrained motive of essential sin.         

          This is that ever-dominating heart motive of self-determination which Satan treacherously introduced into man’s subconscious in Eden – that motive which broke the original God/ man friendship in the first place.  This is that stubborn subconscious desire to, “do our own life in our own way.”  And, this treacherous desire actually still remains in play in our subconscious mind, even on the back side of the Cross – even after one consciously and humbly embraces the Lordship of Christ.

            In the Book of Romans, the Apostle, Paul, perfectly describes how this subconscious dilemma begins to frustrate the new convert to Christ.  He momentarily assumes the role of that new-comer to the faith and says this, “For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

            But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

            Now, if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me [in the subconscious mind]. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man [in the conscious mind]. But I see another law in my members [my subconscious], warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members [my subconscious].”   [Brackets Added]

            So, in order to achieve God’s ultimate redemptive goal of both a durable, and a mutually fulfilling friendship with believers, that sinful subconscious inclination for self-determination, and the attitudes and behavior it produces, have to go.  So, what is to be done to solve this problem? 

            In fact, the Dying Christ and His Cross were never intended by God to solve this problematic reality of man’s still stubbornly self-determined subconscious. Christ’s death on the Cross was only ever intended to furnish the forgiveness of that devastating punishment which attaches to that reality.

            But rest assured, to ever know this new, mutually gratifying friendship of which God dreams, this destructive reality must absolutely be resolved. If this ingrained subconscious selfishness were to go unaddressed, God would constantly be offended, not gratified, by that haughty, self-determined, “I prefer to do my own thing, my own way,” nature. 

            So, in spite of the Cross and its forgiveness, the relationship could never be a truly fulfilling one for God. He would ever be disappointed and rebuffed by what He would be forced to daily observe in man’s character and behavior.

            So, logically, to get to that mutually fulfilling friendship that God is actually aiming for in Christ, He must deal with this ingrained, self-centered character essence within man.  But how?  How, indeed?  Enter the Living Christ! 

            In fact, it is the Living Christ and the wonderful outflows of His Resurrection which are intended to remedy this stubborn and God alienating subconscious desire for self-determination. And, the completely unique remedy for this friendship-threatening subconscious sin motive plays out like this. 

            The Living Christ, in Spirit form, symbiotically merges His character essence with that of the truly devoted believer.  This distinct redemptive event is what the Church refers to as the “Spiritual Baptism.”  And the very logical purpose of this spiritual merger is to thoroughly renew the believer’s value system – which is, in fact, the very core of his or her character essence.

            This value system over-write by the Living Christ replaces the believer’s previous, self-tainted values with the pristine values of the Living Christ – beginning with the Faith Value. Immediately, by this character essence integration, that dominant sin value of self-determination is displaced in the believer’s subconscious. 

            And, just as immediately, it is replaced by a Living Christ-enriched Faith Value.  And, that new Christ-strengthened faith then becomes the new predominant governing value in the believer’s heart (character essence) on the subconscious level. 

            So now, the believer’s heart becomes undivided.  He or she is no longer being stressfully stretched between the dual motives of faith and self-determination as Paul described above.  The Faith value, which, in general terms, expresses itself as, “God’s will be done in my life,” is actually now chiefly governing on both levels of the believer's consciousness – bringing a durable peace and a Living Christ-enabled stability to the friendship.

            And, under the influence of this new Christ-empowered Faith (now governing both the believer's conscious and subconscious mind) new capacities emerge.  In this Christ-enriched faith, not only is there now the capacity to overpower the sin impulse. There is also the capacity to consistently produce a daily harvest of God-gratifying character-enhancements and God-directed good works – thus, fulfilling God’s most cherished hopes for this new God/ man relationship. (Ref: Galatians 5:22-25 // Ephesians 2:10)

            So now, again in the Book of Romans, Paul goes on to  describe the wondrous Living Christ-enabled newness taking place within the believer's character essence and lifestyle reality - and in this better friendship. He says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

            For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”

            Indeed, this character integration with the Living Christ and the profound personal transformation which it brings is breathtaking in both its scope and effectiveness. This Christ-inhabited believer is truly that final keystone piece in God’s redemptive plan. This is the consummate reality of God's true redemptive aspiration.   

            And, it is all sustained by the vitality of the Living Christ as He symbiotically lives, in Spirit form – literally, within the believer’s character essence.  And, every single day, this God-designed and Living Christ-empowered friendship then pours out its relational blessings to both God and believer.

            So, in its authentic essence, Christian redemption really isn’t that complicated. And, in fact, this Christ empowered, better friendship has, indeed, in these New Testament times, become a wonderful reality for countless devout believers. 

            But still, it is strange.  How could so many lettered teachers over the generations have missed the beauty and efficacy of this authentic, God-designed redemptive strategy?  

            And, even now, in this late hour of redemptive history, many are still clearly identified by their glaring lack of awareness of these very primary things. Perhaps, it is because they are so full of themselves, they simply cannot see beyond the vastness of their own pretentious mass.

       But, in any case, truly devoted believers should simply continue on beyond that wondrous Cross and its forgiveness so lovingly afforded by the Dying Christ. The true divine encouragement is to go on to stalwartly pursue that oneness of heart, that spiritual character integration with the Living Christ.  And that,  in order to consummate this new, ever-enduring and always mutually fulfilling friendship with our loving, second-effort God. (Ref:  Luke 11: 5-13 // Romans 8: 12-14 // Matthew 7:13)  

A Reality Check for "Bravehearts"

Numbers - ironically, numbers were once such an easy issue for the Church.  In the early Church, according to scripture, “multitudes” responded to the good news of Christian redemption.  And, this was true even though that early redemptive message was quite challenging to the hearers.  As it actually still does today, the Gospel of Christ required them to go from being the masters of their own destiny, to becoming joyfully humble servants, surrendered to the Lordship of Christ.

  And, as they bowed to that redemptive requirement, over time, a greater truth emerged.  Turns out, this necessary humiliation, this servanthood, was, in fact, essential to the workings of the divine plan for the thorough renewal of the believer’s heart (character essence) and lifestyle realities. And, that renewal was key to God’s  redemptive end game: an intimate, durable, and mutually fulfilling God/man friendship fully substantiated in the Living Christ. 

   And, in fact, the transformative process which grows this “new creature in Christ” can only happen in that rarefied atmosphere of a profound humility before God.  We typically just refer to this special relational environment as “redemptive faith.” And, it is this context of profound humility which produces what an atmosphere of arrogance and self-determination never could – endurance.

 And, endurance is needed to get through this character and life transforming process.  This is no casual walk in the park we are talking about.   

 This is an encompassing adventure which involves a focused personal pursuit of a spiritual merger with the Living Christ by which His empowering character essence literally becomes integrated with that of the believer.  And, flowing out of this resulting symbiotic relationship then comes a divine overwrite of the believer’s value system which, in turn, yields a whole new body of life-altering divine truth.

  And, from this now fresh and growing heart-oneness with God, enabled and sustained by the empowering sufficiency of the Living Christ, springs that long sought divine prize.  It is that now very real, intimate, durable, and mutually fulfilling God/man friendship – fully initialized, and ready to shower both God and the believer with its every day relational blessings.

  So, this is that authentic redemptive journey which those early “multitudes” so willingly took on and successfully completed.  Indeed, this is that thoroughly renewing path, blazed by the work of both the Dying and the Living Christ, which not only frees the souls of believers from the clutches of the Darkness; but, it also frees them from their own disabling brokenness as well – just as God always intended. 

  Sadly, however, by this late hour in history and due entirely to the work of the Darkness, this authentic redemptive path has become much more obscured by other deceptive and misleading pathways.  And many now succumb to the charms of those simpler and less demanding paths.  And, the prevalence of those dark charms has actually had the effect of casting a long shadow of rejection over this true path.

  Thus many contemporary believers are now lacking that excitement and passion that fired those early believers to complete their redemptive transformation.   The reality is that the rank and file of the contemporary Church, and more specifically, the American Evangelical Church, under all of its banners, have become widely reluctant to move, in real terms, beyond simply the forgiveness of the Cross.

  But that wondrous Cross of the Dying Christ and the forgiveness which it affords, is but the trailhead of the redemptive path which God has actually laid out.  According to His authentic redemptive mapping, there is a final leg of this journey which reaches well beyond that Cross.  It stretches toward Christ's Resurrection and that empowering encounter with the Living Christ which transforms the believer in those very real terms.

  So, enabled and sustained by the shared vibrancy of the Living Christ as He lives within, the believer experiences this personal transformation.  And, it is, indeed, a journey which brings real newness to his or her heart (character essence) and lifestyle realities.  And, contrary to that now widely popular mistake – this trans-formative part of our redemptive journey is absolutely not optional.

 God is seeking to achieve a “thorough reclamation” of his fallen and badly broken human creature. And, He will not have that expensive, long sought, and God-prescribed end-result preempted by human reluctance, timidity, laziness, ignorance or any other such thing.  The divine redemptive design is firmly established.  And either we match its specifications or we perish in our own mistaken choices.

  And, overly simplistic and ridiculously easy is certainly one of those mistaken approaches.  But the pursuit of a thorough personal renewal in the power of the Living Christ is an immeasurably better one.  It actually brings God’s real approval and the believer’s true newness and safety of soul.

 But it is true that the contemporary Church is now struggling with this larger idea of redemption in the pew, the pulpit, and in the administrative ranks of the Church.  We would all like to believe that our redemptive message is accurate and sacrosanct - immune to the ebb and flow of life's treacheries and pressures.

 And, as ministers of God’s redemptive truth, we certainly want to believe that our integrity regarding our divine commission as His messengers remains intact.  Certainly, we want to believer that we would not kowtow before any reluctance of contemporary congregations to hear and respond to the greater challenges of the authentic redemptive journey. 

  But is all of this really still true?  Or, are we, indeed, gradually caving. Have we, in this now consummately organized contemporary church, whether minister or layman, become willing to replace the core requirements of God's redemptive truth with merely seductive social programming.

 In this time when the Church is widely numerically challenged in key aspects: conversions, membership, attendance, and the connected finances, might we now be bowing to the tyranny of those growing numerical pressures?  These pressures are very real in the modern Church.  And, they do have a far reaching and often excruciating influence.

 For example, if this more challenging but truly authentic message has now widely become more than this contemporary Church is willing to embrace, might we then simply resort to exploring less challenging truth - which would also be of greatly diminished import? Or, might we become willing to morph our pulpit ministry into something more like helpful life-couching? And all of this, in the interest of surreptitiously protecting our numbers and our continuing ability to sustain and/or grow them.

 Or, might those numbers-based pressures drive us to allow less altruistic concerns to begin to weigh in on our thinking and behavior? So, maybe a numbers threat to the minister's personal validation, credibility, job security, or our prospects regarding that ministerial “ladder climb” might begin to have some impact.  Perhaps we might then begin to soft-peddle or just avoid this more stringent message altogether, in the face of less receptive modern congregations. 

  As a Church administrator, might we be tempted to shade the truth a bit?  Perhaps it would seem OK if it made our denomination more attractive, and thus more, "embraceable" by the larger world, and/or by the growing shallowness of our constituency?  

So, maybe, in this case, we would start to draw back from "defending the faith", i.e. from ever critically juxtaposing our authentic message of redemption with its heretical competitors.  And this, so we could maintain our personal and our denominational image as thoughtful and attractive men and women of peace – thus, alienating none (save our own integrity), all in deference to those tyrannical numbers and the perceptions they demand of us.

  But, be all of that as it may, the actual reality is that in most every church in the land today, there are now those who are dangerously under invested in their own redemption – and blissfully happy to be so.  Truth be told, a great many among our modern multitudes now demand that this Living Christ-fueled renewal process be, at the very least, toned way down.  And often, the greater preference is that it be left entirely unmentioned. 

 And, this preference for shallowness has, indeed, now become broadly embraced by the rank-and-file across the American Evangelical Church as being the acceptable norm.  And. in some cases, this is occurring in spite of a long enshrined doctrinal positions to the contrary.  And, in fact, it is this widespread and completely deadly mistake which has also set up a presently raging negotiation within the modern Church. 

 But this is no mere heated back and forth between differing theologians.  This is a life and death involved confrontation between the divine Truth Giver, the Holy Spirit, and those deluded, wayward, and/or terminally misguided hearts within this contemporary Church.  And how could it not be so?  Jesus described the role of the Holy Spirit this way. “He will guide you into all truth.” 

 So, when and wherever the Divine Spirit encounters this deadly predilection for shallowness and under-investment on the part of believers, be it in the pew, the pulpit, or the higher administrations of the Church, what else would He do?  What else can He do but take adamant issue with such?   So, He begins to intensely negotiate with that believer in his or her heart.  He simply cannot do less.

 And, at such a point, the Spirit’s whispering voice makes every effort to convince the believer to press on.  The idea is to continue  beyond the Cross of the Dying Christ to also embrace this real and thorough newness of heart and life in the sufficiency of the Living Christ.  Nevertheless, these Holy Spirit negotiations, however they turn out, ever remain just that, a negotiation.  

They are necessarily never irresistible demands.  The believer’s level of devotion is always left to decide the outcome of these loving confrontations. And, many do actually resist these urgings by the Divine Spirit.

 Obviously, believers can, indeed, grieve the Holy Spirit with our willful stubbornness.  And, this is certainly a possibility in these redemptive negotiations.  But if believers refuse, or suppress, or in other ways seek to escape the Spirit's loving encouragement to lean into this Living Christ-empowered completion, they will absolutely have to do so repeatedly.   

This is true because their soul hangs in the balance.  So, the Spirit is ever faithful to return again and again to attempt to achieve this crucial enlightenment.  

But unfortunately, something else is also true.  Our willful stubbornness can also be as perpetual as His faithful effort - a reality which can seal our eternal doom.

So, at this late redemptive hour, the pews, the pulpits, and Church administrations all across this contemporary American Church are now alight with the intellectual and emotional sparks of these intense, life-and-death, personal negotiations with the Divine Spirit.  And, countless under-invested souls within the Church do, indeed, hang in the balance.  

Nevertheless, the nature of God's ultimate redemptive aspiration never wavers.  It ever remains that divine intention to bring to pass that every day reality of a durable and mutually fulfilling friendship with the believer, made strong and consistent through that unique symbiotic merger with the all sufficient Living Christ. 

So, the ultimate redemptive end game simply cannot merely be about forgiveness. Again, this wondrous beginning benefit must necessarily evolve into this Christ-empowered transformation of our character and our lifestyle realities. It must be so to facilitate that heart-oneness with God which is so completely indispensable to that long awaited  and mutually gratifying friendship which God eagerly anticipates with every believer.

That consummate friendship is what was lost in the Garden of Eden all those eons ago.  And, that friendship is what the redemptive work of Jesus is now putting back one person at a time.  And, He is doing so in a much better and more substantial way.  And ultimately, God simply will not settle for less.

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew [In the Greek: "Genosco" - a deep and intimate knowing] you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'"   ~ Jesus   [Brackets added]

Numbers matter in the Church.  But redemptive truth matters more.  The simple reality is that redemptive truth actually defines the numbers; and, never is the reverse true - in spite of that now widely cherished delusion.

Press On!

A desperate desire for newness of life and a true heart-oneness with God.  These are the basic motives which involuntarily boil to the surface in the clarity of our conversion moment - that moment when we fully embrace the Lordship of Christ.  Indeed, these desires are actually the birthmark of the redeemed. 

And, the real power for this thorough life renewal does, indeed, come to us in very real terms.  We know it first in the form of a liberating forgiveness through the Dying Christ.  And then, we start to experience it as a daily sustaining by the sufficiency of the Living Christ.  And, the God-designed process which brings the believer to this Christ-enabled newness of life is truly breathtaking in both its effectiveness and its scope.  

So, the simple purpose of The Re-Awakening Series, a very unique, fiction/ nonfiction, two book set, is to keenly explore, using plain language and modern frames of reference, this authentic redemptive process which leaves us brand new in our character and in our lifestyle realities. 

This wondrous, Christ guided and empowered life experience absolutely liberates, not only our soul from the clutches of the Darkness, but also our days from our own disabling brokenness. This has ever been God's redemptive end-game: the restoration of this life-elevating, Christ-sustained, mutually gratifying God/man friendship which was lost so long ago to the treachery of the Darkness.  

The Emotional Context:  

The two books of this series are not at all harsh - far from it.  But they are honest, frank, and accurate.  

So, for one who prefers to simply be emotionally stroked or live comfortably in an echo chamber of unchallenged shallowness and religious cliches' - these books would be disappointing.  But, for one who is interested in a clear and compelling explanation of God's real redemptive prescription - an explanation which doesn't leave huge gaps in the reader's comprehension - then, in fact, they will not disappoint.

As these books are weighed, I would also like the prospective reader to know that my life's purpose is not to sell books.  Nor is it to gain celebrity or wealth. I moved past such motives long ago.  These books were written to bless the reader, not the writer.    

I understand my ministry role to be simply that of a messenger.  And truly, the "fire in my bones" is merely to present authentic redemptive truth to these present times - times which, frankly, deeply concern me by their widespread preference for shallow delusions over the absolute genius and wondrous blessings of God's real redemptive offering in Christ.  These books are the product of that driving concern. 

   Devil Whispers: (Fiction 167 pgs.) The First Book

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  ~ The Apostle, Peter

The simple reality is this.  Satan is as real as God.  And, he is very intelligent in a thoroughly darkened way.  And, he has now had eons of time to use that tortured intellect to develop many consummate tactics of deception. And, indeed, he has done so. Furthermore, he has also taught these treacherous tactics of spiritual warfare to that hideous legion of demons which follow him – also very real. 

 As a result, humanity has now long suffered under constant psychological assault from this “Legion of the Darkness.” For example, we have been slaughtered by the millions in the wars which Satan’s heartless demons slyly cultivate through their human dupes.  And similarly, we are also regularly convinced to see evil as good and good as evil – thus wrecking our spiritual lives, our bodies, our relationships with both God and man, our life quality, and the good order of our world.

So, we ever bleed and find ourselves trapped in a mire of endless social confusion.  We struggle, both within and without, with chronic chaos of every sort. And, the Darkness continues to convince many of us to push away our benevolent Creator and our Savior.  And, as a result, our souls perish en masse in each new generation.   

And yet, as a species, we remain far too unaware that these chronic, inter-generational devastations are happening by demonic design and through their very deliberate efforts.  We just don’t seem to widely make the serious connection that they are being psychologically cultivated by this dark satanic economy.  

And doubtless, this is largely due to a simple everyday reality.  Satan's devilish ranks are able to shield their own culpability from view by hiding behind the foreground visibility of the human instruments who serve them.

Nevertheless, the satanic economy remains a very real part of the human experience and the redemptive big picture.  Thus, these enemies of our soul and our prosperity of life, wielding their treacherous tactics, should also be carefully scrutinized and exposed as the apostle indicated above. But, indeed, they are illusive.

So, it is because of this hard-to-see / hard-to-grasp nature of the demonic underworld that I chose a fiction format over a non-fiction format for Devil Whispers.  Some things (and certainly this demonic thing) are just better dramatized than merely factually described. 

Every evil work of the Darkness confirms its slippery, slithery nature. So, the light is just much more easily shined on these invisible demonic pot-stirrers and their treacherous work through the greater liberties afforded by a fictional approach.

But, in fact, I wish there existed a book classification called “non-fiction, fiction.” If that was so, I would certainly have chosen it to classify this book.  DW is essentially (and even in much of its detail) an accurate expose´ of the satanic economy.  So, when finished with Devil Whispers, it is all but guaranteed that Satan’s normally very ethereal “Economy of Darkness” will have a much more concrete feel in the reader’s mind than was previously so.

The actual storyline of Devil Whispers is far-flung and fast moving.  It begins in 2037. But it then quickly circles back through history passing through and noting the important upheavals of these present times, as it ultimately comes again to 2037. Once back there, the cataclysmic events of that time – events rooted in the spiritual, social, and political stress cracks occurring today – are allowed to play out in an alarmingly realistic way. It is likely that this journey will move you and significantly impact how you understand life’s bigger picture.

 Spiritual Dynamics: (Non-fiction 161 pgs.) The Second Book 

The two books in this series (or set, if you prefer) can be read individually and/ or in reverse order and they will still render good benefit.  But they are much more beneficial when read together in the intended order:   Devil Whispers first, and then Spiritual Dynamics.

It works like this. Devil Whispers, is essentially a wide-framed, fast-moving historical picture portraying high-points in the human experience in an all-encompassing way.  Which is to say, those key events are shown in both the physical and the metaphysical dimensions as they actually do occur - i.e. simultaneously sharing a cause-and-effect inter-connection. 

Spiritual Dynamics then follows as a clear explanation to accurately interpret, in plain language, this bi-dimensional reality in which we all exist - and too often, hardly understand. But given the seriousness of this subject matter, you will probably be surprised by the tone of Spiritual Dynamics. 

It is not written in a heavy theological brogue.  Nor does it read like a doctoral thesis. And, it does not employ an oppressive, “thou shalt” overtone. 

Rather, this book is very purposely written in a more everyday language and a fairly light inflection to facilitate a more relaxed flow of its vital and valuable insights. And, regarding those insights, Spiritual Dynamics is truly a fresh step forward as an expose' of God’s thoroughly life-renewing redemptive process.  

Indeed, this book has a tremendous capacity to broaden the reader’s practical understanding of the full scope of the glorious thing which God is really up to in Christ.  SD is truly a stimulating personal or group study text if you're looking for a full and accurate awareness of that more ethereal reality which surrounds us.

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”  It is a simple and biblical concept.  And, Spiritual Dynamics shows the reader precisely how, through both the Dying and the Living Christ, to correctly and fully engage this idea.  And, in so doing, it enables the reader to experience the sheer joy of an intimate, empowering, and completely fulfilling divine friendship every single day.

Obviously, wrong roads lead to wrong places. But Spiritual Dynamics is like a literary GPS serving but one simple command input - this command, “Take me safely home to God and a true newness of life.”

A Reality Check for "Bravehearts"  A Recent Article by Larry Burnett
