\"Dune<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\"\"With this statement, Frank Herbert launches his fantastic, now quintessential epic science fiction series, \u201cDune.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, no other tale paints such an on-target caricature of modern society, with all of it\u2019s delicate and intricate interplays between, religion, politics, economics and the sinful heart of mankind. Herbert\u2019s universe is boiling over with intrigue, plans within plans, amazing beauty, wild imagination, heroes and villains\u2026 lot\u2019s of villains\u2026 lords, leviathans, and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, at the heart of it all\u2026 at its core\u2026 lies humanity\u2019s ultimate contest; the battle with a fallen human nature, scraping and cunning to get all it can get and all for itself. Even the noblest of heroes in Herbert\u2019s story, are not immune to the affects of this corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I write this, I am not unaware that I live in a world similar, in many ways, to the Dune universe. We all share the impact of that ultimate human tragedy; man\u2019s inhumanity to man, the result of our sin stricken hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA Faith that Obeys\u201d steps into this fray with a tiny hope that together, we might bring some logic, reason, understanding and wisdom to a world missing the greatest gift ever given it, The Plan\u2026 a detailed map out of the mess. We have held The Plan in our hands for nearly 2000 years but sadly, it is ignored, twisted, misconstrued and flouted as a path to self serving riches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never has such gross negligence been laid upon the back of such a priceless yet humble gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginnings are a very delicate time. They lay the foundation for all which will come after. They build upon cherished history and the wisdom of those giants who have come before us. My prayer is that for all I am about to do\u2026 all I am about to undertake, the foundation I build will be strong enough to endure, supple enough to permit remodeling and beautiful enough to attract a wonderful person like you to join us in these lively discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we will bend space and time. We will build bridges and repair ancient foundations. We will agree. We will disagree. We will find truth. We will humbly challenge error\u2026 including our own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our quest to discover and celebrate The Plan, let\u2019s agree to be unified that Jesus is the Christ, The Messiah and our diligent seeking will always be done in such a way as to honor Him and respect one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shall we begin?
