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.

Purified By Hell, Empowered By Heaven
I'm in this weird pattern where every night I have first a gut-wrenching, horrific nightmare or vision that is hellish in nature. I wake up Midnight-1 AM sweating and out of breath from the terror of it all. Then about 3 AM I usually have some transcendent, heavenly dream. I am starting to wonder if the nightmare is my soul cleansing itself of the evils thought and performed throughout the day. Like I have to face my sin to move past it. Then once faced and forgiven, I can move on to my deeper self, which is in the image of God. Am I being nightly purified by hell and then empowered by Heaven? It sure feels that way.
