Seeing God when our Metaphors Fail

My childhood home. Let’s face it, it is absolutely impossible for us to understand an eternal transcendent God and his domain. It is far beyond our comprehension. So, we often use metaphor to make the incomprehensible accessible to us. Jesus did this exact thing when in John 14:2 he

A Father’s and Mother’s Legacy

Less than picture perfect- Christianity’s race reckoning

God for God’s Sake: Learning Theology from Aesthetics
