What about below the belt?  What’s your secret of getting back on the horse when you fall off and get kicked in the face? I’ve been thinking about Jesus’ parables that took their form to sink in only with those who had “ears to hear”, namely his disciples, although even they didn’t get it muchContinue reading ““Everybody has a plan til they get punched in the mouth.” – Mike Tyson”

Where do we start?  Why are we trying to remake ourselves, get to the other side? If we’re in ministry, we tell our financial supporters what business (aka busyness) our work is about.  “Well we offer after school tutoring, relationships, and Bible studies!”  But not all necessarily in that order, lest we return to theContinue reading “The Business of Ministry & the ministry of business”

I was introduced to the concept of Pharmakeia by a friend who reiterates the directive given to him by his acting psychiatrist at the time.  My friend asked why was he being prescribed medication for what was called a psychosis.  The doctor replied, “For people like you”. Sounds scary but is this attitude indicative ofContinue reading “Pharmakeia?..or just Pharmaceuticals?”

“for many spirits have gone out into the world, and not all of them are from God”. I’m writing this one today mainly to sort out something for myself.  Hope it applies to you and of course please reply if it does… So I’ve been told up and down that when I feel a spiritualContinue reading “Testing the Spirits”

So I’ve jokingly decided that the Mandalurian must be a Christian bounty hunter, fitting into the Presby-costal denomination… He sure has a knack for justice, and a bit of compassion, along with killings to add.  But he has a good work ethic, something staying alive and keeping his ship in the air will do forContinue reading “The Mandalaurian – A review”

Things you can do on your butt Play a video game, journal, watch the dog gnaw on a bone, check out new apps or podcasts, pray, watch the paint dry because you don’t have a tv, lament the past and the future while being stuck in the present, Facebook and twitter (consecutively), plan how longContinue reading “Things you can do on your butt”

Ok show of hands who believes in NWO… I think it makes sense, from the masons to the secret societies guiding presidents like pawns, to the banks funding world wars, to e pluribus unum, all seeing eye…from Mordor. I saw an article recently that was titled, “we love a good conspiracy”! I think it wouldn’tContinue reading “New World Disorder?”

“Blessed assurance”, that old hymn that speaks as thought the author had arrived.  Well this is where I falter.  Romans talks about the elect and predestination while Revelation and James speak about your works that will get you into the Lord’s kingdom.   I totally get that you gotta do what you believe, not justContinue reading “Reconciling seeming contradictions in the Bible”

Today I’d like to recommend a book of short stories that was a favorite of the late , Wonderful apologist, Ravi Zacharias.  I heard about the book from Ravi saying he couldn’t go into scripture cold so this book, “A Packet of Surprises” by F. W. Boreham helped him in that direction. The book isContinue reading “Short Stories for Your Spirit”

“Veritas?  What is veritas?”  Pontius Pilate’s words to Jesus before he sentenced him to death.  What is truth, he asks?  Well I’m kinda led to believe it’s not an adjective but a noun, a person, not a concept. Pilate was clearly a man with a seared conscience.  He might as well have wielded himself theContinue reading “In Spirit and in Truth”
