I am a Pastor. It is my job to teach about God and his relationship with mankind. I take this job seriously. To that end, I have written or commented on various issues that stem from theology and ideas about God through the years. Some of the teachings in this archive or more, “off the cuff,” musings. Some of them contained systematic theology with citations and notations. In either case, I post them for your consideration noting that they represent a dynamic person who may not teach the same things later. In any case, I’ve tried to be honest about my current relationship with my teachings below… please read any disclaimers you might find. That said, perhaps something I’ve written can give you pause to think or be of help to you.
