“Imago Theory” is about attraction, about chemistry. It’s a theory about why we’re attracted to one person and not another. It was developed and popularized by Harville Hendrix in his book, “Keeping The Love You Find.” The theory asserts that we all form something like a “snapshot” in the guts of ou...
Watching Outlander recently. I’m struck by the drudgery and manual labor that were a normal day-in-the-life even as near as 100 years ago. Up until very recently the world had never significantly changed. People worked the land and home from sun up to sun down to keep basic necessities going. You fe...
“Reiki” energy healing is a model where the practitioner moves their hands over the client’s body in order to manipulate/re-order the body’s energy movement. The Reiki practitioner is intending to do the same thing that an acupuncturist is doing.

Scripture references the “inner man,” and the “secret places” of the heart throughout the old and new testaments. Inner healing attempts to find those secret ...
Many a brainy theologian has set himself to discern what the scriptures say about soul vs. spirit. Every one of them who has spent years in that pursuit has come to the same conclusion: scripture doesn’t say.
While we’d love to have a clear biblical definition of “soul” vs. “spirit,” the Bible simp...
“How do I pray?” is the wrong question.
In the movie Gravity, there is a touching scene where Sandra Bullock’s character, facing certain death, explains in tears that she never prayed in her life because no one ever taught her how. It’s heart-wrenching, but it's misleading.
