The name derives from the idea that the earth spins perfectly on its axis at an average of 23.5 degrees; the perfect tilt, spin speed and distance from the sun enable the earth to sustain life as we know it. In the same way, Jesus Christ Himself is the "Axis" of all life—everything physical, spiritual, mental and emotional finds its perfect center in Him. He IS the "Pointe" in that He is the truth people claim to want (John 1:3-4; Colossians 1:15-17).
Having said this in the midst of a relativistic culture, I am fully aware that there is a lot of push back to the idea that Jesus is indeed the Axis of life. But what if He was/is? What if truth could be known? What if God as Jesus presents Him could be known? How would that change the way we think? What sort of ideas might emerge around lifting up Christ as THE AxisPointe worth discovering?
These are questions I think are worth exploring in a world that is so out-of-balance. So if there are spiritually-minded thinkers, doubters, dissenters or skeptics out there who wish to engage with intellectual honesty... go for it.
