ABOUT “SALTSISTER”

“SaltSister” began at the tail end of a real life question: What if God can best be known outside the margins of all that is called “church”? I knew I had reached my limit when I left at the beginning of a church service one Sunday and sat on some steps outside so I could be close to God. I thought something must be wrong with me.

In the pages of “SaltSister” you will see contemplative writings, historical accounts and personal narratives. From time to time I may update this first page with new information, but I needed a front page to say, “Hello.” Share the wonderment and the struggles with me. Enjoy.

NEWSPEAK

I was just reading that someone had started using the word ekklesia to denote the spiritual church and letting the culture keep “church” as its word for a building. I wish I’d thought of that. It would be so much easier than saying “institutional church” all the time or writing “I/C” and making people wonder what I’m talking about. I shall consider it.

HyperPreterist Archives

Don’t be fooled by the name. I have added a new link to “HyperPreterist Archives”, which does not support hyperpreterism, but refutes it. Normally I find little edification from sites that refute or prove one thing, but I discovered that this peculiar narrative of the Gospel is running rampant among the free believers like a lion in the streets. Having read through some of the material, it now seems evident to me what the difficulties are in even having a civil conversation with proponents of this doctrine. It is like two people playing the same kind of musical instrument at the same time, the one playing rock ‘n’ roll and the other playing Maori music. Everything gets ruined for everybody. This is CONFUSION.
