“Risk” theology (part 2)

By Peter Watts | Open theism | 0 comment | 29 June, 2019 | 1

Risk-Free World and the World God Created “When it comes to human relationships, most people prefer they were risk free.

Even in relationships with familyRead more

“Risk” theology (part 1)

By Peter Watts | God who risks, Risk theology | 0 comment | 29 June, 2019 | 1

Risky World “Our world is full of potential risks. Just getting out of bed, you and I face daily risks: The risk of getting food poisoning. The risk of a natural tragedy, depending on where we live (earthquakes, volcanos, tornados, hurricanes, flooding, and fires). The risk of a car accident by driving on the highway.Read more

Relationships develop and thrive on trust. At the same time, trust is developed as we practice honesty with others and others practice honesty with us. I have found this played out in my life over the years. But what happens when our trust is broken? We can’t just magically pretend it didn’t happen or thatRead more

By Peter Watts | Authentic Christianity, Learning and growing, Spiritual journey | 0 comment | 2 June, 2019 | 4

It’s been said that “the destination is not as important as the journey.” The spiritual path of following Jesus is also better understood as a journey rather than a destination. It’s a process of learning and growing, not about arriving somewhere and having it all figured out suddenly. Having and developing relationships, which is deeplyRead more
