Be careful who you listen to

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 7, 2016 by David BergslandMay 7, 2016

This is a copy of a post on bergsland.org, four years ago examining Galatians 5:7-9. It may well be more relevant today. Ask God if you’re not sure something or someone is true. The Holy Spirit will certainly guide you into … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction: The Shatterworld trilogy by Lelia Rose Foreman

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 2, 2016 by David BergslandMay 2, 2016

This trilogy has Shatterworld, Circumnavigation of Shatterworld, and Pacifists’ War Don’t let the enigmatic nature of the covers or the 12 year old heroine in the first book deter you. These are seriously good novels. The basic plot is an old one: a … Continue reading →

Why is redemptive fiction important & necessary?

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 3, 2016 by David BergslandApril 3, 2016

Who needs strong fiction to introduce them to Jesus? The first and obvious answer is, the world! bzzaat! Wrong answer. The world cannot come to know Jesus, by definition. Biblically, the world (kosmos in the Greek) is the system developed … Continue reading →

Discerning prophecy

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 21, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 21, 2016

One of the most egregious errors seen in speculative fiction is a misunderstanding of how prophecy works. I should probably write a how-to some day. But the article linked below is superb. Don’t use a prophet unless you know what … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction: And HE Healed Them ALL by Jeffrey McClain Jones

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 19, 2016 by David BergslandMarch 19, 2016

I always enjoy Jeffrey’s books. His contemporary speculative fiction is simply a joy. The first one I read was Seeing Jesus—about Jesus showing up in person for quite a while. It shows how that might transform a person’s life. Hearing Jesus is … Continue reading →

Christian Non-Fiction: The Wife of Jesus by David Bergsland

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 16, 2016 by David BergslandFebruary 25, 2018

Two events happened in the life of this book today. First, Lynn Moser posted about it. I thought it was just a simple guest post, but as usual she did a wonderful job of presentation. Secondly, I made a new … Continue reading →

The Fire: He doesn’t care about what you do, but about you

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 28, 2016 by David BergslandFebruary 28, 2016

Of course, that’s not entirely true. But what you do must come out of obedience to what you’ve heard talking with the Lord. Your relationship comes first. Here’s a quote from John Follette: So, for what has a man to … Continue reading →

Redemptive fiction: Outlaw Preacher by John Andrews

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on December 6, 2015 by David BergslandDecember 6, 2015

An outlaw biker meets the Lord in prison for real. This is no namby-pamby religious nauseating gushiness with trite truisms slithering off the page and onto the floor. This outlaw becomes the real deal, putting his flesh down, and allowing … Continue reading →

The Fire: Have you taken up your cross yet?

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 29, 2015 by David BergslandNovember 29, 2015

This is the core of our walk with Jesus. What is often missed is the simple fact that it is your cross. You must take it up voluntarily. It is targeted to your specific personality and life. It is designed to … Continue reading →

We are not called to Christianize the world

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 15, 2015 by David BergslandNovember 15, 2015

Jesus didn’t tell us to evangelize the world either He said: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing…, and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28: 19 & 20 It’s an important distinction—especially those … Continue reading →
