Book Review: “Reckoning With Power” by David Fitch

February 24, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Fitch begins the introduction to his heretical work with two basically-flawed premises that there are “only two types of power in the world” and that “God’s power is never coercive.” “I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I am afraid that just as Eve was...

“GETTING” The Passover

February 15, 2024
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

There’s been a lot of talk since Superbowl Sunday about foot washing. Images of a Marxist utopia abound in the “He Gets Us” ad campaign which imported a specific, singular act found in scripture into the movement’s re-contextualization/agenda.I think we need to better understand the specifics of context found in scripture in order to better evaluate the ad campaign’s messaging. This is my feeble attempt as a layperson to lay the deeper groundwork, as I currently understand. I think we...

Beyond The Screwtape Letters: The “Cabal” of Satanic Activity in the Natural Realm

January 30, 2024
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

To be honest, I was never a huge fan of CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters. In college, I heard of the work and possibly read through it in full. Certainly, introducing conceptual scenarios of how demonic activity works in the material, tangible realm is intriguing and even needed, to prompt consideration of possibilities. But there was something about the work (a type of biblical fiction) that was so specific and defined that the gist of it left me second-guessing myself as...

“I Am He”: Why They Won’t Just Leave the Church (Part IV)

January 22, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

The terse and truthful answer is essentially of a rude, unkind and unwelcoming nature: The Church has not clearly and in unison showed them where the exit door is…and worse yet, the itching among us (of which I was once inclined through my naivete and compromise of thought) continue to welcome them in through both front and back doors. Yes for a plethora of reasons we welcome in those who deceive us. The more gracious answer is essentially that we...

On Preston Sprinkle and His Promotion of REVOICE

January 17, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Preston Sprinkle seems to be upheld these days as a thoughtful, biblical “conversation partner” on issues of gender. He has a podcast called Theology in the Raw, and leads/hosts the so-called Center for Faith, Gender and Sexuality. Sprinkle is purported by himself and others to affirm the traditional, biblical design/definition for marriage, yet, if we deeply scrutinize his methods and connections, it leaves Christian listeners in murky, unclear waters. This link shows the lined up speakers for Theology in the...

Weepers For Souls

January 8, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

“Winners of souls must first be weepers for souls.” – C.H. Spurgeon Pausing during my afternoon to suggest listening to the following talk. There is quite a lot to contemplate in this informational message and spiritual exhortation for anyone with children, grandchildren or who cares about children. (This should well-cover most all humans.) “Trans kids were prescribed more anti-psychotic drugs after beginning transition than before.” – Gary Hamick(This conclusion can be found in a study by the Journal of Sexual Medicine ) “If...

“I Am He”: Recognizing Sorcery and Femme-Pagan Practices In and Out of the Church (Part III)

December 31, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Since learning about a woman who composed and led a group of people to recite/spell-cast the heretical “Sparkle Creed” several weeks ago, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around how to speak about this in some meaningful way. In my mind, I think of many angles by which one might try to grab hold of this slimy, slippery, multi-headed beast of a thing–many of which other siblings in Christ have already thrown their lassos rightfully out upon in various...

“I Am He”: Hundreds Fell Back Before His Singular Pronoun (Part II)

December 18, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

By night and during the time of preparation for the Passover, Judas personally escorted some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees, along with a detachment of hundreds of armed, Roman soldiers, to the Garden of Gethsemane with the intent of arresting Jesus. Like a Lamb being led to slaughter, He fully cooperated with the beginning of the process of his death by crucifixion. Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, (What is the Garden of Gethsemane and Why...

“I Am He”: The Pronouns of Yahweh (Part I)

December 14, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

In John 18 we are given an account of the arrest of Jesus that led to the completion of His earthly mission: the fulfillment of the law and the prophets as Messiah, and His atonement/propitiation for our sins through His death on the Cross in order to bring us into right relationship with the Father; through full faith in Jesus Christ and baptism into His death, we have been given the right to become children of God. Judas led an...

The Salvation Army and “International Social Justice Commission”

December 9, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

I continue to raise awareness here of a growing convergence of “Church” and what I would name–at least for this piece–“Global Secular/Political World Governances and Agenda.”How is that for a mouthful? I just started listening to the podcast below, and feel it already warrants a brief intro and sharing here. Five minutes in and they have mentioned the “The Salvation Army International Social Justice Commission” and its representation at the United Nations. This season, let us become more aware where...
