Earth, it seems, is somewhat of a transitional planet. With its generally lower vibrational frequency, it allows for the co-existence of both good and evil. The choices we make with our own free will, predispose us to movement either up or down in frequency, with evil occupying a very low range, while love weighs in at the top of the scale. Parallel universes, such as those we characterize as “heaven” or “hell” are likely to exist at either end of the frequency continuum. Thus, someone who...

Not long ago, I came across a list of ten principles set forth by proponents of progressive Christianity. They are, in effect, a new Ten Commandments. What's striking is that they are far less about God revealing his desires and far more about man expressing his own-less Moses, more Oprah. Yet each of these commandments is partially true. Indeed, that is what makes this list, and progressive Christianity as a whole, so challenging. Half-truths can sound quite appealing until you recognize...
