Theology Guy dot NET

As I travel down the 'self-help' aisle I wonder why we are not getting our message out. Hopefully this site is an attempt at that.

This site is not about discussing the merits of religion nor the existence of God. If you seek that then there are many sites to help you accomplish that goal. This site is about theology and theological concepts. It assumes and precludes (apriori if you will) a God and your belief in that God. Hence the origin of this site is God and that all things emanate from him and return to him. No room for doubt but plenty of room for questioning.

Our History
I have spent a short lifetime pursuing meaning and being pursued by the Hound of Heaven.

I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;

I fled Him, down the arches of the years;

I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways

Of my own mind; and in the midst of tears

I hid from Him, and under running laughter.

Up vistaed hopes I sped;

And shot, precipitated,

Adown titanic glooms of chasmed fears,

From those strong Feet that followed, followed after,

But with unhurrying chase,

And unperturbed pace,

Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,

They beat—and a Voice beat

More instant than the Feet—

“All things betray thee, who betrayest Me

I pleaded, outlaw-wise,

By many a hearted casement, curtained red,

Trellised with inter-twining.charities;

(For though I knew His love who followed,

Yet was I sore adread

Lest, having Him, I must have naught beside.)”
