Revelation: Chapter 2, Verses 18 to 29 and Chapter 3, Verses 1 to 6
Two churches. Two different problems. Different warnings. Different promises. The picture grows of consequences to good and bad thoughts, words, and deeds. Like in my last post, the message is don’t be a sheeple and hand over your thinking ability to groupthink and human leaders.

The Soul's Turning: How the Letters to the Churches Contributed to My Novel
John wrote letters to seven churches in Revelation, which spoke of rewards for conquering their failings. I used them as a way to track my protagonist's growth in The Q'Zam'Ta Trilogy.

Revelation: Chapter 2, Verses 12 to 17
Few are they who go against the tide of sheep who follow a popular idea or person. Jesus' two-edged sword swathes through those who prefer to fit in rather than build Jesus's kingdom on Earth. John warned the church of the consequences of saying yes to the surrounding culture.

Revelation 2 Thoughts So Far
What is the Resurrection like? Here's what I've understood so far from Revelation chapter 2. It's not Heaven nor an exclusive club, and it requires work.

Revelation: Chapter 2, Verses 8 to 11
The Letter to Smyrna warned them of suffering to come, echoing in a way how groups and individuals today are hounded. Did their test of faith lead to their reward? We don't know yet. And it's the same for us. Is faith worth torturous endurance?

Thank You For Today
The holy clean and the October urge to shake the dust and start again. I have gratitude for this absurd life. On Marcus Aurelius leaving his warm blankets and existence as a freefall kicked off a precipice. On thanking the bus driver, coral growth, the Moon's tides stretching the day, and Alberta Time holding the clocks still for the first fall in fifty years. On the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address spoken before anything else is done. On maarsii and kinanâskomitin, the Cree verb that won't let you give thanks without saying to whom. What are you grateful for?

Revelation: Chapter 1, Verses 9 to 20
Revelation begins when John on Patmos meets Jesus in his vision. NT Wright asks why the location was important to John's first readers. And I reflect on doubts: was it a vision or the subconscious?

Ode'imin: In Defence of the Berry Pickers
On #RezTok, a berry picker is a man who comes home without the moose. On fruity men and Canada's fruit machine, Man the Hunter and the women who hunted anyway, and pemmican, the food made of meat, fat, and berries that the Métis Nation first stood up for at Seven Oaks. On the serviceberry and its many names, saskatoon wood that became arrows, and the Michif word for a little pear. On bananas being berries and strawberries not, a Supreme Court that decided the tomato is a vegetable because of when you eat it, and a Eucharist that was already made of fruit. And on ode'imin, the heart berry: love, emotional truth, healing, forgiveness, the first medicine of spring.

It's Christlike to Love Immigrants and Transfolk
Responding to readers who invoke Christianity to defend exclusion, I argue that the Gospels consistently welcome lepers, foreigners, sinners, and gender-nonconforming people while reserving the strongest warnings for the wealthy and powerful. On the Christlike call to love immigrants and trans people, and why compassion cannot be rationed by politics.

Midwives of the Kami
Reading the Gospels from inside the position of their central figure, as an unfounding operation against founding violence, and asking what carries such a demystification next.

How and Why I Believe in God: The Ballad of Tragic Theism
My testimony, from Dawkins on an iPod Shuffle down a back alley, through Buddhist libraries and a children's hospice, to Matthew's Gospel in a break room chair. My case for tragic theism: a God who creates, risks, makes mistakes, grieves them, and does not stop.

30: Finding My Footing
My annual birthday essay on turning thirty: examining the cross-cultural agreement—from Confucius to the Hebrew Bible to Zoroaster—that thirty is when formation ends and function begins. My dark year of depression which turned out to be preparation rather than delay, and on writing 200,000 words since, which turned out to be the same thing.

Earning My Keep
On the poets who found different terrors inside the phrase 'earn my keep'—Jeong Ho-Seung, Brecht, Heather McHugh, Kim Hyesoon—and the theological dispute over whether grace can be deserved, turning thirty in borrowed time, and the nuthatches outside who do not know the feeder was set out for them.

Calls for 'balance' and 'not rushing to conclusions' in the face of obvious injustice aren't wisdom. They're complicity dressed up in respectable clothing.

'The Bible is clear' often serves as a partisan battering ram—but on one thing it really is clear: God's concern for the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized.
