Do Your Homework Series: “Hegel is an Alchemist” and “Marx is a Gnostic” (Understanding Their Heretical ‘Confession of Faith’)

March 21, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Do Your Homework Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

I’ve learned a number of things today–being halfway through a three-part lecture series by James Lindsay. I’m pondering a number of these things to incorporate into other writings here, but for the moment I will share the three videos. I intend to keep listening as I work this evening and hopefully finish up the third. I paused to share this short post. I paused after the speaker stated that the original title to the Communist Manifesto was called “The Communist...

Do Your Homework Series: Fitch, Foucault, Rhor & Zahnd (And No, That is Not a Law Firm…)

March 15, 2024
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Do Your Homework Series, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

This piece will be in several sections and includes some of my explorations this past week and what I’ve been learning. Basically, I’m going to link information and commentary for those who deeply care about remaining in the arena of sound, biblical doctrine and avoiding associations and “discipleship/conversionship” by modern-day heretics and those in the Church bent on promoting a variety of deconstructionist ideas (of both a soteriological and political nature). I want to start by recommending the following talk...

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...

Guest Writing: A Christmas Memory, by Lucy S. Moise

January 25, 2024
/
Guest Writings, Writings

I think I was about seventeen years old. Christmas Eve had finally come. The choir at our church had worked very hard on our Christmas music and I felt like I was ready. When the Midnight Mass Service was over, I felt extra good about myself. I had been in the church choir for several years already, but this time I felt more grown up. I felt like I had contributed my voice to bless others, and felt like I...

“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...

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...

Because I Wrote About GLOO Last Night…

December 6, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Because I wrote about GLOO last night on social media and engaged in related internet searches, this morning I awoke to see the following ads in my Facebook newsfeed. It was a surprising amount that Facebook quickly used its algorithms to flash before my eyes. I expanded a number of them and did screenshots, and I will insert some commentary on some. I really could have kept scrolling and gathering more quite easily but I figured this was enough to...

GLOO and AI–Can it Get More Horrifying?

December 5, 2023
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

If communism were to erupt and slowly unfold on our shores, what would be the primary obstacle to its adoption and flourishing? And what would facilitate its spread and potential for gradually increased control and censorship? The-Brick-and-Mortar-Church and the Historic Christian Faith would be the number one obstacle.And the Internet would be the easiest medium to slowly enforce censorship. Why are more Christians moving away from physical church attendance and embracing online forms of “church?” Who owns (and controls) the...

Welcoming the Newcomer

Personal Writings, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings

Anyone who has been a visitor at a church knows that there are a variety of ways the family of God approaches and welcomes visitors and newcomers. Over the years when in this position, there have been things that make me feel either like I want to go back, or I want to never go back there again. Today, I simply share some musings and observations about myself and others after returning for a third time to church on a...

Continuing with my series on raising awareness of theological/political/sociological/ideological shifts taking place in the Church and through well-known Christian Pastors, Speakers, Authors and Theologians, I am sharing this analysis/delving (below, in video form by Wokepedia) into the 2024 lineup of various speakers at Preston Sprinkle’s “Exiles in Babylon” Conference (sponsored by Theology in the Raw). You can read more about this conference and see all lined up speakers and their bios here. I have listened to this full talk, and...

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
