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.

Truth & Love
When we lie, we destroy our ability to have genuine relationships. Anyone in recovery is familiar with this truth. Lies make it impossible for people to relate to us as the people we really are, and cause them to relate only to an imaginary person that doesn't really exist...the person they think we are based on the lies we've told. If we let the light of day shine on who we are, people who relate to us do so based on who we really, truly are. Until lies and secrets are exposed, our friendships and love relationships stand shattered. Where there is no truth, there is no love, and where there is no love death reigns supreme.
