This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

God's Divesting Of Power & The Trinity
In my still-in-progress second book I struggle with the idea of the Holy Spirit and the Trinity. I see God's empowering action as embodied in the Trinity. The Father gives power to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the Divine Power bearer. The Spirit then gives that power to Christ, who makes it available to all the beings in the world. We are to give power to each other, and to new creations. God, in His essence, is self-giving.
