Being Unbalanced

I get tons of questions about my particular stances for the Lord, usually revolving around why I seem so darn angry. The majority of church folks just don’t see things from my perspective and it is easy to dismiss how I am or what I say as just being “angry”, ministering from my wounds, stopped…

Sacrilege towards the Frankenchrist.

“I could not understand why men who knew all about good and evil could hate and kill each other”. Mary Shelley Frankenstein “Je n’ai jamais été chrétien, je n’ai été réveillé que par Dieu. I have never been a Christian, I have only been awakened by God.” ~Vérité, self. There is only one way to…

Practical Prayer part 1

want you to consider something in regards to prayer. In the morning when you first wake up and after taking some stock in your immediate surroundings (making coffee), this is when the enemy and the flesh tend to take advantage of you. I’ve found that it happens as either a sudden thought in regards to…

Heart Check

So, I’m really not a big “smash sinners” guy. You know what they say about people who live in glass houses, how they probably shouldn’t vacuum naked and all. So this post isn’t about that. God gave us the cross because he knew we were basically going to suck and suck big-time. We all suck…

The Lazarus Generation

So, you want to be effective with Gen-X? If you were to gauge exactly who this demographic is and how to win them by the current efforts of the church, more than likely you would start some sort of hipster ministry. For instance, you could take out all titles and replace them with something more…

Effectual Prayer

I believe God answers prayer, answers always, everywhere; I may cast my anxious care, burdens I could never bear, On the God who heareth prayer. Never need my soul despair since He bids me boldly dare to the secret place repair, there to prove He answers prayer. So it has been a few months now…

Going to the Gentiles

I go to the Gentiles… What does that mean? Simply this, I no longer feel compelled to try and teach, train or change the established church. Someone told me a long time ago that it is easier to give birth than to raise the dead and they were right, of course. It is easier to…

Worship: Singing Your Lies.

This is not a simple thing, getting simple. Much of what we do is rooted in our identity as 21st century beings and it is very difficult to shed those thought processes. I have come to feel that the trappings of the zeitgeist can only really be seen when they are held up in contrast…

The God of Serious Men?

‘If I had my way, I’d fire you. You aren’t the God of serious men, you’re the God of little girls that wish upon a star’. Thus began my prayer time today. No reflective pause at the start, no praising Him for this or that thing, no coming before him in the mighty and incomparable…

Feed others not yourself, Tubby McChurchian.

No, this is not a warning to those engaged in the character assassination of others while deeply embedded in the sin of gluttony that comes from too much fried chicken. I wouldn’t lower myself to that. Who am I kidding, I totally would. But I’m not. Right now. This is about our excess and selfishness…
