A miscellany of reflections, thoughts, articles by Jonathan Gallagher, mirroring his interest in "God-thinking," the cosmic conflict, and fundamental human rights

“Thanks for taking the time to look around. I hope you find ideas of interest that will make a difference in the way you think and believe—thoughts to challenge the way we are! I believe in a healthy curiosity, and that we are supposed to use our minds to work things out. It’s not enough to rely on the thoughts of others—we all need to think for ourselves.

"So I’m delighted at your interest, and may you discover some points of departure so that you can say that you know what you believe, and are 'fully persuaded in your own mind.’”

Reflections


Walking alone in the countryside somewhere in South America, I passed through a village. As usual, the dogs woke up and started barking to warn their owners that a stranger was passing by. Used to this, I spoke my usual terms of greeting and walked on.

Speaking Well of God
Presentation 10. In the End, God
[Edited transcript. This article preserves aspects of a spoken delivery]

It feels sad to say good evening for the last time.  I want to thank everybody for being part of this wonderful time together here in Bauru.

Tonight I want to talk about things in the end.  In the end, God, because right at the beginning of the Bible it is, “In the beginning, God.”  In the beginning, God; all the way through, God; in the end, God.  Because it is about God that we wish to speak.  Let’s not preach ourselves.  Let’s talk about God and focus always on Him.

I want to talk particularly tonight about hell! This sounds very strange to people. My wife asked me, “What are you talking about tonight?”  I told her, “I think I’ll talk about hell.”  She said, “Oh no!”

Presentation 9. What God Really Wants
[Edited transcript. This article preserves aspects of a spoken delivery]

Good afternoon to you all.  I will not make my wife suffer anymore with my poor Portuguese.  But I want to thank you again for this great invitation to share together with you and to speak well of God.  We’ve had a great time here already together with you.  Some wonderful discussions, a beautiful lunch, an interview, even, with the local newspaper, and then some lovely singing—thank you so much for the song. 

You know, I think I might stay here, what do you think?  Should we stay here?  My wife is saying, “Yes.”  You know, I feel very much at home, so thank you so much for making us so welcome.

Thank you so much for being here in Bauru tonight.  And thank you so much for the invitation to share together with you over the next few days.  Thank you, Elder, for being here and inviting me in, and thank you to the person who will be doing the hardest job tonight.  This is my good friend, George Luis.  I want to thank the team that’s come along with us—who’ve helped us out so much already in our time there in Rio in Barra de Tijuca. 

Let us ask the Lord to be with us as we begin.

Speaking Well of God
Presentation 6. Why did God go to the Cross?

[Edited transcript. This article preserves aspects of a spoken delivery]

I can’t believe we’re at the last night already.  I want to thank you again very, very deeply for this incredible privilege of sharing together with you.  I already feel like we know each other very well.  I’ve been able to have conversations with quite a few of you and I would like to be able to speak some more, especially if I spoke better Portuguese!  I hope this will not be the last time that we see each other.  I think I could probably come back here and spend a year, Pastor, and I’d be quite happy.
