This article reflects on compassion as one of Buddhism’s most admired virtues and asks a gentle but important question: if love feels real and morally binding, where does it come from? Without dismissing Buddhist insight, the article explores whether compassion can be fully grounded without a personal source. It then contrasts this with the biblical vision of love as something received before it is practiced. The article invites readers to consider whether compassion points beyond human effort to a deeper giver of love.
This article reflects on a quiet question that often follows spiritual calm: is inner peace enough, or do humans also long to be personally known? While Buddhism offers real relief from suffering through detachment and enlightenment, the article explores whether peace without relationship can fully satisfy the human heart. In contrast, the biblical vision presents peace not as escape from desire, but as restored relationship. The article invites readers to sit with the question of whether true peace includes belonging, love, and being known.
This article explores a gentle but unavoidable question within Buddhist teaching: if there is no enduring self, who is it that experiences freedom, peace, or awakening? Without arguing or dismissing Buddhism’s insights on suffering and desire, the article reflects on the tension between liberation and identity. It then contrasts this with the biblical vision of hope — not as the erasure of the self, but its restoration. The piece invites quiet reflection rather than debate, encouraging readers to consider whether peace, compassion, and hope point toward relationship rather than disappearance.

FYI First thoughts on the system itself... no need to mention Christianity at all... yet.

Let the system stand up and be tested on its own first.  I have just finished a draft set of articles starting at 'what is Buddhism'  to the invitation to hear the gospel.  I'll work on this more in the new year. 

Many Buddhist teachings identify desire as the root of suffering and encourage detachment as the path to peace. This article gently explores whether desire can truly be removed, or whether it may be pointing beyond itself toward something deeper. By examining everyday human longing, Buddhist insight, and the limits of detachment, the article invites thoughtful reflection on whether desire is an enemy to silence—or a signal that something meaningful is missing.
This article explores Buddhism’s deep insight into suffering and desire, recognising where it speaks honestly about human experience while gently examining where its hope ultimately stops. By comparing the Buddhist path of detachment with the biblical vision of meaning, love, and redemption, readers are invited to consider whether suffering is merely something to escape—or something that points beyond itself. Written with respect and clarity, this piece encourages thoughtful reflection rather than debate, helping seekers ask whether desire is only the cause of pain, or also a sign that we were made for more.
This article explains what Scripture is, how the Bible was recorded, preserved, and recognised as authoritative, and why it reflects different historical and theological perspectives. It explores God’s relational nature, progressive revelation, and how the biblical story unfolds across exile, covenant, and the promised, present, and future Messiah. Rather than treating the Bible as a single dropped text or a collection of religious ideas, this guide shows Scripture as a unified, living witness to God’s redemptive plan, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and faithfully preserved through history.

A common misunderstanding is that church leaders or councils decided which books belong in the Bible. 
Historically, this is not what happened.

The Bible’s canon was recognised over time — not created, voted on, or hidden. This article explains how that recognition worked.

The Book of Enoch often surfaces in sincere Bible study groups, especially among people who take Scripture seriously and want to follow God faithfully.

Problems arise when Enoch is read as if it were written in the same way — and with the same authority — as Genesis, Isaiah, or the Gospels.
