About Me

I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.

Amazing Love: That we might be one becomes that we are one

Posted by Don Paine


Amazing love:  It loses to win, it wins by losing, and in the end no one wins and everyone wins at once.

It is unconditional, agenda free, and transformational.

When the covenant to love replaces the creed of truth, then the real truth and the real church will emerge.  When the church is willing to lose its need to be right. and have the correct and only right theology then the church is free to be the church.  Instead of theological dogma covenant embraces the theology of peace and righteousness for all and to all.

Loving not with the agenda that we be one but with the agenda to be loving toward all and at peace with all.  This is the peace that surpasses human knowledge and understanding.  It is peace not of this world but peace as God lived it out in Jesus who loved all and gave up his right to live to teach us how to love.  This peace and love is amazing and is the source of justice for all. The road to justice for all begins on the Calvary road of peace, love and righteousness, reflecting Christ's love, peace, hope, harmony and compassion for all man igniting the love and light of Heaven and Jesus in our hearts and lives.

This is the good news. The Call to Love is to reflect God's character: Love. The Gospel of Covenant is the good news. The wide welcome is an open door to all. It is a window of fresh air.  It is a mirror of a witness to the world that God is love and loved, you are loved. We are called to be loving in a spirit of love, light and compassion! This amazing love is internal, eternal, and for all.

We embrace ourselves with love and light.  We give ourselves compassion. Being with the presence of God and absorbing God's love into our hearts we offer that love to the world outside. Feeling at one with God in our hearts, mind and lives we become one with everyone. We radiate this out to the world and they see the amazing Love of Christ and they will know we are Christians by our love.
