Darwinian Dissidents

Erik L. Strandness, MD, MATh Author Blog 1 0

Admit it. You have committed the evolutionary sin of feeding ducks. Not content to let them forage for their own food you toss them processed bread. Your indiscretion goes even deeper because, annoyed by the bigger, stronger louder ones, you direct your food distribution campaign to the smaller, weaker ducks. Didn’t you get the natural selection memo? You have just violated evolution 101 and showed compassion for a Darwinian invalid. How dare you? You may set the evolution of ducks…..

The Perfect Storm

Erik L. Strandness, MD, MATh Author Blog 1 0

The Bible tells us to “Judge not, that [we] be not judged,” so why does the world consider Christians so judgmental? I think in our zeal to be Holy like He is Holy; we often use God’s criticism of religious insiders to divinize our desire to judge secular outsiders.

Maybe what He is really doing is silently drawing closer to us so He doesn’t miss a word of our complaint. Maybe he is honoring the liturgy of lament before He offers His beatific benediction. God’s perceived delay may actually be the precious time He gives us to…..

Intuitive Theist

Erik L. Strandness, MD, MATh Author Blog 0 3

One of the most important aspects of a pediatric practice is tracking the physical and developmental progress of growing children. Pediatricians know that failure to follow a growth curve or achieve developmental milestones may signal a disease that requires further investigation. These milestones were not arbitrarily selected and voted upon by a select committee of pediatricians but rather were codified after decades of careful…..

Abundant Life

Erik L. Strandness, MD, MATh Author Blog 1 0

Jesus came so that we could have life and have it abundantly, but before we start preaching health and wealth we need to remember He also told us it would came prepackaged with a world of hurt. Abundance is generally thought of as affluence and wealth but is it possible that it also includes pain and suffering?

In A Grace Disguised, Jerry Sittser helps us understand how tragedy can expand our ability to experience life more abundantly.

Sorrow is noble…..
