About Me

My photo
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.

Love WIns or does it

Posted by Don Paine

I just reread Rev. Rob Bells book, "Love WIns" which  I think has been misunderstood and misused by many.  I do not even know Rob Bell but I sense his heart for people and for truth that is transforming not confusing.

So here is my thought to transforming love.


Love wins and love loses like nothing else because it lives like nothing else.  Jesus lived like no one else had ever lived and he is the model in whose "way" we are to walk.  Jesus walked the way of serenity, surrender, and sacrifice all in the name of love. Love was unconditional, agenda free, accepting of all, and audaciously uncompromising.

Love wins even when it chooses to lose for the sake of love and in the spirit of loving.
It is internal and eternal.  It is in Spirit and Truth offered to all.  It transforms everything and everyone.

So love wins and loses in a dynamic and divine dance of life.
