  • Summary

  • "The Father of Existentialism" Danish writer, poet, philosopher, and Christian thinker Soren Kierkegaard, has much to teach us about our lives. Join me weekly as we take on his writings and think about how his brilliant and profound insights illuminate our way in a complicated and confusing world. I contribute a considerable amount of my own processing of Soren’s ideas and add my own personal experiences. As Soren would wish his readers to do. This is spiritual insight and truth for the real world.

    Must Will The Good
    Feb 19 2025

    The purpose of prayer is to will the good. To want what God wants. Today I used the line from Kierkegaard "Don't be a Reward-Hungry Sensate Person" as the basis for my rant. And it is rant, yet not fly-off-the-handle rant, but a reflection of where we are at as a culture. Kierkegaard gives us the insight to be better than our culture. Being just like our adversaries makes us no better than them.

    Soren writes that a conciliatory spirit is the hardest revenge. "The worst punishment for insults is to forget them." Losing is winning.

    Soren writes in this Upbuilding Discourse, "The turbulence of life which carries the child and the youth earlier and earlier out into the pandemonium, gather them into the vociferous crowd or make them vociferous."

    Sounds like social media. And us adults are no better. Prefer to make your resolutions in silence with God. Keep the crowd out of it. At least that is my takeaway.

    There is a time to speak up. It takes wisdom to know when to be silent and when to speak.
