Where To? | russell & pascal
https://russellandpascal.com/2015/03/05/where-to
Dear Russell and Friends,. As Russell and I meet in person to reflect it is apparent that it means something different, but special to both of us. When the détente group meets at this very table we multiply those interpretations. We passed 1,000 readers yesterday. What did you come here expecting to find? How can we serve you well? I have the same question for you. Where do we go? Where would you like to see this conversation lead? Pascal – – 1:16. By Jorge de Aguiar [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons.

Digestion | russell & pascal

Dear Russell and Friends,. For the past week I have been a reader. I read every word of your last post. Russell – – twice. The context of my reading was heightened by a strong sense of self preservation. I was riding shotgun as my 15 year old with a learner’s permit drove back from Colorado. Thankfully, fear can enhance learning. I also read most of the dialogue that you and unkleE. Is that related to the way I differ in my view of an evidence driven life although I work in an evidence driven field?

A Challenge for Atheists and Believers Will You Accept? I am inspired by Pascal. A model to follow. Think of someone who disagrees with you on some world-view issue (especially if they do so strongly) and schedule a time and place to meet with them this week. Meet with them and work on your friendship (don’t try to convert or de-convert or tackle the issue(s) you see as extreme right away). Don’t wait to respect them until what you hear what they have to say. Have a great week! Gentleness and respect,.

Dear Russell and Friends,. I’m back a week now and so happy to be so. The cobwebs of jetlag are clearing. I’m so appreciative of Russell’s Paean to a Peon. In the last post. I thought I would add my perspective. When will I speak of the impact of visiting Israel? Not for some time. There is so much to digest before I’m ready to synthesize and share. Love is a decision. For a follower of Christ it is a command. Love God. Love others. It has a description:. So, what is friendship? Of course. Even in sc...

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it. The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,. And are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,. Humility requires confidence. As Romans 1. What confidence serves as a foundation? I’m getting to know myself as the trail...

There is a problem in all of us. For every. The moral laws we normally follow regarding how we treat other humans no longer apply. That was just a clip that wasn’t very explanatory of the video.

I’m copying this story in full from http:/ www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg mod.html. By: Andy Weir (author of the book that led to the recent movie blockbuster, “The Martian”). You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. Yup, I said. Don’t worr...

Dear Russell and Friends,. This family is the family of Christ. I call myself a follower of Christ rather than a Christian for reasons that are apparent to any who have tried to unpack the baggage of the latter term. I want to follow the example of Christ as a man, and I acknowledge the divinity of Christ as the firstborn over creation. Perhaps that is the litmus test for a Christian. Is Christ divine? If you’d like to read this post by Russell’s wife. I do Deeply so. It is like the disappointment I ...
