Material Power Without Mastery or Spiritual Power Now, the fool in power is both a victim of his own delusion and a participant in the divine comedy as stumbling block. He may believe himself to be the master of his fate, yet he is but a player in a larger drama written by God, outside…

Lord, our God, ever guide us to your light, and make it bright so we may see it in our blindness, as despite. See us through the darkness and into your loving radiance. May we ever do right by your will, which is the greatest good. Attach us to your truth, oh Lord, that we…

Bridge to Gratitude for Grace On this blog I have discussed the importance of Magnanimity at length. It is the first of the structural virtues and it truly cannot be overestimated as all other virtues depend completely upon it. “Magna” means great and “anima” means spirit, together it produces grace and forgiveness, the greatest GRACE…

Humility is Real; All Personality is Euphemism Dear beloved of God, imperfection forever points to perfection, which is why you are so beloved. This is indeed a truism resting at the heart of true faith and all reason. Owning imperfection is not about being proud of wrongness. It is to be truly human as created.…

Assumed Weakness Identity Undermines Community Opposed to nationalism, though not necessarily apparent at first, are the entanglements of victimhood mentality as identity, what I identify as Victimentality in my first book Your Fight (https://YourFight.Club/read the club is Christianity). For while nationalism seeks to honour the natural states of man and our needs in organisation, victimhood…
