We've gotten it all turned 'round:

"Jesus did not teach that we should be striving to fit spiritual thinking and deeds into our secular lives. Rather, he taught that we should be walking a spiritual journey that happens to accommodate secular necessities."

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." (Jesus--John 3:8)

David L. Heiserman — author, educator, inventor, and minister of the Gospel — offers a radical, yet compelling and authentic, vision of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a revitalized, Spirit-driven Christian experience.

What is Postmoderism?

What is postmodernism? Technically speaking, it is anything that happens after the historical era commonly known as the modern era; and I don't  think it is a very good use of our time to be struggling to force-fit anything else into the obvious definition into the word. Instead of trying to make a name for ourselves by inventing new labels, let's get down to things that really matter.

Why Mix Postmodernism and Christianity?

What's the connection between postmodernism and Christianity? This connection is becoming a big deal, especially on the Christian weblogs. Most of it is pretty shallow and silly, making it increasingly difficult for serious thinkers to communicate their ideas to the world at large. But there seems to be a "natural" connection that creates more opportunities than dead-ends. Frankly, I see biblical Christianity as a powerful and fruitful medium for demonstrating this form of intellectual freedom.

Spiritual Guideposts

 A healthy, lifelong spiritual journey is dotted with guideposts, each offering new information, insight, refreshment, spiritual revelation, new levels of experiences with God. No single guidepost can be a complete and final destination, however, so we can expect to journey from one guidepost to the next throughout our mortal lives.

Religion is a Gateway, Not a Goal

Religion is the gateway between our secular and our spiritual lives. Religion is a compromise between the natural and supernatural, the seen and the unseen, the logical and the inspirational. As long as a person insists that there is a marked distinction between their secular and their spiritual lives, they need religion to keep the two connected.

Anyone who is pursuing an active, healthy relationship with God will find that their distinction between secular and spiritual matters grows less distinct. And as the distinction becomes narrower and less important, religion becomes less important as well. Ultimately, when the perfect becomes a reality and the fruit of the spirit totally dominates our lives, religion no longer has any meaning.
