The Cure for the Common Church

A discipleship focused church that answers some of Christianity's toughest questions. God isn't mysterious or hard to know.

⚡ “The Cracks in the Old Cathedral”

For centuries, we’ve inherited systems that tried to explain God — His power, His will, His relationship to creation.
They meant well.
But along the way, something got lost.

Greek philosophy taught us to picture God as unmoved, untouched, and far above emotion.
Augustine and Aquinas wrapped Him in logic.
Calvin and Luther reformed the structure but left the frame intact.
They all gave us brilliant theology… and yet a God who feels strangely distant.

Through the years, new thinkers kept patching the cracks:

Determinists made Him the cosmic puppeteer.

Arminians tried to rescue freedom but tangled it in foreknowledge.

Molinists added logic loops.

Open Theists loosened control to save love.

And still the same questions echo:

If God controls everything, why pray?

If He loves everyone, why does evil persist?

If He’s timeless, how does He act in time?

If He never changes, how can He feel compassion?

The old frameworks creak under the weight of their own brilliance.
They gave us systems instead of stories, logic instead of life.

But maybe… the issue isn’t God.
Maybe it’s the way we’ve tried to explain Him.

Because something is stirring —
something ancient, yet utterly new.
And when it rises, it won’t just answer the questions…
it will change the way we see everything.

At times, it feels like a knock down, drag out slugfest. The mandate to write this one is heavy, the desire wanes and flesh rises. Prayers appreciated.
