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.

The Extremes
The farther along the path one is, the more dangerous corruption becomes. Great good can be transformed into great evil very easily. There is a reason why the devil worked so hard to tempt Jesus. This is also why pastors and religious leaders will sometimes commit such horrendous evils. The truth is that extreme good and extreme evil have more in common with each other than either one has with some stultifying neutrality or moderation.
