We're trying to derive a sound set of spiritual ideas, from the Lord's Word, that help people "build a house on a rock".
Three times, in the Gospel of John, Jesus tells people to ask for something "in My name". It sounds very much like intercession, i.e. that Jesus and "the Father" are separate people. But we know they aren't. What does it really mean?
If our culture is broken, what should we do?
It's nice to be loved. What about the reverse?
Seven times, Jesus says things like, "I am the vine", or "I am the bread of life". What if someone isn't a Christian? What then?
To say that each of us has an internal “self” and an external “self” is not particularly revolutionary. We all have a natural sense that our thoughts and feelings are “inside” us and our bodies and actions are on the “outside” of us.
