No More Sea is a concept formed around a group or partnership (koinonia) of like-minded individuals who desire to contribute to Christ’s Body globally in utilizing their God-given gifts to bless others through an online medium. The idea is to take those gifted and give them a platform in which their gifts could be dispensed in support. Through this site, it is hoped content can be pushed in various means using present technology to spread information to the masses who often are left behind in wanting to know the truth but have no means by which to access it. Much content is available even online.
However, much of it cannot be brought to those less fortunate. Unfortunately, to push this content in this manner means there is no accreditation implied as by nature to keep it open and free from those who oppose such, we cannot risk such. We simply offer the knowledge. Pieper has rightly elucidated,
The one who wonders is one who sets out on a journey, and this journey goes along with the wonder: not only that he stops short for a moment, and is silent, but also that he persists in searching. Wonder is defined by Thomas in the Summa Theologiae, as the desiderium sciendi, the desire for knowledge, active longing to know.
Josef Piper, Leisure: The Basis of Culture, trans. Gerald Malsbary, (South Bend, Indiana: St. Augustine’s Press, 1998), 122, citing I-II, Q. 32, a. 8.
We are essentially viatores, travelers, pilgrims, ”on the way,” we are ”not-yet” there. Who can say that he possesses all the being that is meant for him! ”We are not, but we hope to be,” as Pascal wrote.
Ibid., 123, citing Pensées, no. 172, emphasis original.
Thus, our journey is the exploration of wonder to participate in this knowledge which is at the core of what it means to be. Any donation taken is to allow further content to be produced and to sponsor those who would otherwise not be granted such access. The sole purpose is to advance all by the means available–to edify all with the gifts as given.
If you desire to partner with us or to partake of the content please utilize the contact page. We will try to respond and accommodate any request within reason as we follow God’s wisdom and discernment to stay the course in what we are called to do. We hope this will be a launching pad to start (or continue) one’s journey into the worlds shrouded in scholarship and unknown often to those outside the halls of academia. We hope in pushing this content it will cause one to open to the worlds previously unknown by as many ways we have ourselves found online to digest and bring this content here.
To understand the concept of No More Sea from Rev 21:1, several posts will land in our blogs to lead the reader into why we have chosen this concept as our model. Without the appropriate background to this text, it will be virtually impossible to comprehend its full majesty. It will take time to express the almost inexpressible. Only the Logos achieved such perfect expression! The Scriptures are so marvelous! Their full beauty and intensity can never be fully known and realized until the End to which we are all headed.
While many have already figured out what the Bible says and have systemized it accordingly (to their own designs), we humbly feel it is far too advanced and deserves far more time in the limited means we have this side of Glory to partake. It contains so much more than what so far humanity has been able to grasp as its treasures are quite endless–almost beyond full reckoning. Please be patient enough to allow us to post these blogs and then with that in mind, one can begin to see what we have only begun to see and why it has become the vision behind our passion to push this kind of content. There are many readings worth pursing to this end.

We are firm believers in the software. One can see how we use it extensively in our research in the making of our videos on our channel.
Many students ask me how I came to know what I know about the Bible. One of the largest contributors in my success in doing my research in teaching and for my degrees comes via Logos Bible Software. I have been using this for years and had to buy the software. As noted above, now it is free. Choose the above links to get started today!
What we do
Vision
Within the context of what is stated above and herein elsewhere for the fuller context, we desire the Word become flesh once more in each person who partakes of the divine nature as allowed in 2 Pet 1 by the Spirit to build God’s kingdom here upon the earth as it is in heaven until the Parousia unites all. This is becoming Christ’s Body in the here and now as we wait upon the not yet which is to come.
Mission
We edify Christ’s Body in pushing content (much to be produced herein ourselves) so that all may benefit from the true mysteries that awaits the humble and hungry for God to exalt as he see fit in his infinite wisdom as described in the context of the materials contained within this site. We wish to express he exalts. We exalt no one but him who remain far above all else already.
Goal
Our end should be self-evident by now if one has read the balance of this page. We wish to push content that pushes those who partake to fill the earth with God’s glory (e.g., Hab 2:14) as is YHWH’s original intendment from the beginning and has had its most perfect expression in Christ’s Incarnation. He left though allowing those whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked (1 John 2:6, ESV).
Want to collaborate?
As stated above, we desire to connect and collaborate within the means we have while being fully aware we must focus where God has called us specifically and cannot be distracted as we remain on target to that end to which we are being sent regardless of where you are to go to your own end. If your calling leads you to the same place, and we are able to accommodate, we will certainly prayerfully consider it. We are not a financial institution and reject all requests for financial aid upfront as that is outside the bounds of what we do. Please do not ask. If we do not respond, either have patience noting we are waiting on the Lord for wisdom and the resources especially the time to respond, or it simply is so far afield from what we have clearly outlined herein we feel a response is not necessary.
We wish to remain wise stewards of the time God has given us to complete and perfect the call within us and avoid the unnecessary distractions that take away from what we must do. We think the local church is the best place for one to find the right assistance in guiding persons to places where they can readily get the help they need apart from what we do here. If your request is outside of what you see on this site, then it is self-evident we cannot do otherwise to aid you. It is better for you to seek assistance to where you can be helped.
