PRAYER WARRIORS AND OTHER VAIN REPEATERS
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, November 6, 2016 – Like Jesus, I am no stranger to confrontation. In fact, in this ongoing revolution called “being a Christian in an anti-Christ world”, confrontation should be a daily occurrence – not with unbelievers (Jesus didn’t bother them) but with those who say they know God yet by their words and actions prove otherwise.
Enter Exhibit A: “Prayer warriors”. Never mind the stupidity of the phrase; let’s look at what these self-hyped “warriors” think they’re accomplishing. (more…)
BEING CHRISTIAN
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, November 6, 2016 – I remember the first time it happened to me. I’d let loose on someone who’d done something stupid and I wasn’t in the mood to deal with it. In response, someone who overheard my rebuke snapped at me: “Well, that’s not very Christian of you.”
There are few phrases in the English language that peeve me more than that. Tell me to shut up to my face, volley a dozen f-bombs in my direction, disparage each of my relatives in turn, but don’t even think about doubting my faith because that’s what you’re doing when you level that phrase at me.
As if being Christian meant being polite! Tell that to Jesus. (more…)
NOVEMBER 11TH
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, November 5, 2016 – The old guy sits alone at a small bare card table, looking for all the world like he’d rather be anywhere but there, in the corner of the lobby of the grocery store, hawking poppies.
The small glass jar in front of him is almost empty. From boredom, perhaps, or maybe from a touch of OCD or nervousness or deeply entrenched discipline, he’s lined up a few dozen of his poppies in four equal rows, with military precision.
From here, they look like four tiny rows of graves. (more…)
DON’T FALL FOR CARD TRICKS
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, November 4, 2016 – The race card, religion card, gender card, poverty card, socioeconomic class card, victim card, etc., etc., etc., don’t fly with God and they don’t fly with me, either. If you want to blame your problems on people’s treatment of you, you’ll find no audience with me and even less of one with God. (more…)
HOW CAN THERE BE A GOD WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH SUFFERING?
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, November 4, 2016 – People say: How can there be a God when there is so much suffering in the world? How can there be a God when good and innocent people are brutalized and murdered? (more…)
MURMURATION OF STARLINGS
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, November 2, 2016 – Instinct is God whispering to his creatures, and his creatures obeying. (more…)
HOW TO TELL THE FUTURE (INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE!)
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, November 2, 2016 – You have to write what people want to know.
What is it that people want to know?
That this is all worth something, that it’s leading somewhere good. (more…)
VOTE FOR JESUS
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, October 30, 2016 – It should be of no surprise to any born-again believer that the events of the world perfectly align with scripture. We know from Daniel and Revelation that the world’s populations are marching steadily towards global totalitarianism or what is popularly known as the “new world order” or “one world government”. Make no mistake about it – this is Satan’s kingdom that is in the final stages of being set up, to be ruled over by what Paul called “the man of perdition” and Daniel referred to as the “King of the North”. This is not Jesus’ thousand-year reign, though it will someday be sold to nominal Christians as such. (more…)
JESUS AND MONEY
DARTMOUTH, Nova Scotia, October 22, 2016 – Jesus wasn’t well-off, but he had money. He didn’t have a lot of money, but he had enough. Judas Iscariot knew precisely how much money Jesus had because, as the gospel points out, Judas was in charge of the money (he “kept the bag”). He skimmed from it, too, because that was the kind of person he was. Of course, Jesus knew about Judas’s skimming but he let it go. Money wasn’t important to Jesus; it was just a means to an end. (more…)
BE KIND AND PRAY
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, July 23, 2016 – Jesus is very clear about how we are to treat people who hate us: We are to be kind to them and pray for them.
We are not to seek revenge in any way or to curse them. We are to be kind to them and pray for them.
Praying means to be kind in our mind, not just in our words or actions.
There is no way that you can do either of those things (be kind and pray for people who hate you) without the help of God’s spirit. (more…)
