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...

Fear ~ Sadness ~ Loss ~ Lack < JOY > Thriving

January 18, 2024

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

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed Pretty much every morning for at least the past ten years I awake to a sense of fear and unease. In some of my writings here I have described and tackled articulating this phenomenon in various ways from various angles. I think of the Cinderella story. Like clockwork, at midnight everything about her magical life is removed and she is stripped down to her base situation....

“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...

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...

What is “CRU” and Why Did They “Cancel” Josh McDowell?

December 1, 2023
/
Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events

I recently was listening to some talks in which “CRU” kept being referred to–as though one should know the reference. A small amount of Googling revealed that CRU is the new name for Campus Crusade For Christ, and Wikipedia answered my secondary question of why/when did this take place: “In 2011, Campus Crusade for Christ changed its name to Cru. The name change was intended to avoid association with the word “crusade”, which can lead to offense, especially in Muslim countries....

The “Great Reset” of the Historic Christian Church and the Linguistics of Getting the Church “To Board” This Flight

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

In 1971, political-leaning John Lennon wrote a song that has a terribly beautiful feel and melody, and that has since moved people (musically and/or ideologically) of many spiritual/political leanings, seemingly transcending the actual linguistics of his imagined world. “Imagine there’s no heavenIt’s easy if you tryNo hell below usAbove us, only skyImagine all the peopleLivin’ for todayAhImagine there’s no countriesIt isn’t hard to doNothing to kill or die forAnd no religion, tooImagine all the peopleLivin’ life in peaceYouYou may say...

The Right Way

September 16, 2023
/
Personal Writings, Writings

Is it possible to go the wrong way or to have gone the wrong way in the right manner? Yesterday (as in many days) I again noticed my lace curtains in the dining room were dingy and dusty at the top. I decided to remove and wash them, and then noticed how clouded my windows were, having a white film on them. I decided that since the curtains were down I should do this isolated betterment of just those windows/curtains...

The Reconstruction of Joseph (According to “Queer Theory”)

August 7, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

This morning I had reason to ruminate on the Joseph of Genesis. There was something in my mind that made me want to listen to a particular part of his story. The story of Joseph interpreting the cup bearer’s (and the baker’s) dream is what I wanted a refresher on, but I picked up right before that part and continued listening for awhile, up past the part where the brothers and then Jacob went into Egypt, and on past when...

Familial Generational Spirits: Vintage ~1994

Personal Writings, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I can still see the faces and odd behaviors of many of my siblings in Christ that night, when I showed up (with trepidation) to assess in person what was in the process of demolishing the Christian Community (as I knew it) that I had been part of for twelve years since I was an 18-year-old convert committed to following Jesus. My first husband and I were already on the brink of leaving, as were a large number of others....

Deconstructing Deconstructionism

May 30, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

There’s a term that keeps coming to the forefront of the various socio-politico culture wars with its most direct implication toward biblical Christianity. If you’ve not heard the term deconstruction or you are not sure what that means, I hope to set forth an understanding by which you can recognize it when you see it, and if your allegiance is to Jesus, to be aware of its one goal: the complete deconstruction and destruction of the Christian faith. __________ I...
