Dark Religion

I grew up in the Bible Belt of Mississippi, and the Christian beliefs were instilled in me from the very beginning. But my astrophysics education and career in aerospace made me begin to question just who God really is. Ancient fossil finds and the growing beliefs in evolution convinced me that the Bible’s stories of creation cannot be taken literally. My search revealed to me the scientific God of creation, the creator of the universe and everything in it. This new scientific insight shows that the Bible is a very good analogy of how the heavens and the earth and all on earth were created.

Our lives are filled with questions, and our world is filled with answers: in the cloud, online, and in libraries of books. But the answers to the most important questions are rarely straightforward. In fact, sometimes, the truth is downright strange. But somehow, even in its strangeness, truth reveals a clarity that calls forth a response from the depths of one’s being. If you allow yourself to be open to the strangeness of truth, it can change your life.

How do you know God is real? In the emotionally charged, fire-filled faith in which Addie Zierman grew up, the answer to this question was simple: because you've felt him. Now, at age 30, she feels nothing. Just the darkness pressing in. Just the winter cold. Just a buzzing silence where God's voice used to be. So she loads her two small children into the minivan one February afternoon and heads south in a last-ditch effort to find the light.

In a darkened room, a group of men once sought to examine an elephant. Taking hold of a different part - an ear, a leg, the tail - each one mistook his particular part for the whole. In the darkness each of the men became convinced that the elephant was the object he had felt - a fan, a rope, a pillar, and so on. With this ancient fable, first described by the Sufi Master Jalaluddin Rumi, Idries Shah presents the Sufi perspective that Christianity and Islam stem from one inner origin.

Life’s painful trials can bring shame about our inadequate and broken faith. There is relief in hearing the expressions of desperation in the psalmist’s voice. He didn’t experience this life perfected, and we don’t either. But the psalmist was loved. So are we. God was so kind to give us the Psalms. To walk through darkened days is part of the human experience. To walk through them with faith, comfort, strength, joy, and hope is part of the divine experience.

“Quiero creer, quiero tener esperanza, pero…” son palabras que Craig Groeschel, pastor y autor superventas, oye a menudo, y que hasta él mismo ha pronunciado. Queremos conocer a Dios, sentir su presencia, y confiar en que Él escucha nuestras oraciones; sin embargo, cuando experimentamos gran dolor podemos preguntarnos si de verdad Él se interesa por nosotros. Aunque tengamos tanto esperanza como dolor, a veces el sufrimiento es quien grita más alto. ¿Puede Dios ser bueno cuando la vida no lo es?

Sister seer to the Wild Woman, the Medial Woman—the oracle within us, a conduit to the spirit world, our guide to our intuition—is the archetype of our times. Through connecting with this sacred archetype, we unleash our own ability to mediate any severe tension of opposites within ourselves and externally, all the while strengthening and honoring our innate ability to commune with the unseen worlds of Spirit. The final result is a recognition of our ability to alchemize our own reality as well as that of the world around us.

By day, Julia Ebner works at a counter-extremism think tank, monitoring radical groups from the outside. But two years ago, she began to feel she was only seeing half the picture; she needed to get inside the groups to truly understand them. She decided to go undercover in her spare hours - late nights, holidays, weekends - adopting five different identities, and joining a dozen extremist groups from across the ideological spectrum.

Christians are supposed to be “the light of the world.” Yet we seem to spend most of our time stumbling in the dark. We want answers carved in stone, and instead we get uncertainty. We want a clearly marked path and a panoramic view of the future, and God gives us only fleeting glimpses of what lies ahead—and just enough light to take the next step. So what do we do? We take the next step.

Eyes to See is the story of God's incredible grace and faithfulness to a missionary family as they journeyed with their son and brother into the world of blindness.

God made both day and night for a reason. If we focus on only the light, we miss half the gospel. And to fully understand the light, we need to fully understand, confront, and—at times—embrace the darkness. The Dark Side of the Gospel: Looking into the Darkness to See the Light traces the “dark side” of the Gospel from its emergence in Genesis to its extinction in Revelation, in its various literal and metaphorical shades—just like it’s presented in the Holy Scriptures.
