Border Cross-ing

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

While we are called to hand out citizenship applications for God’s Kingdom, we don’t determine who will be admitted. Jesus staffs the border so our entry doesn’t depend on the quality of our human passport but rather by the One who stands at the gate. Do we want to be directed into the lane where our lives are searched for sinful contraband…..

Of Men And Millstones

Erik L. Strandness, MD, MATh Author Blog 2 0

Men and millstones

Erik L. Strandness, MD, MATh Author Blog 5 2

David final

The Christian church is under constant cultural attack while every other religious persuasion is given a free pass. We feel like we have been good citizens, yet the villagers relentlessly come at us with torches and pitchforks. While others are allowed to meditate, pray and worship, we are told to scold our deity and make Him sit in the corner with an “Unknown God” sign around His neck. Despite all this hostility the…..
