I am Bad for the Church.

So, here we are all… Coffee is in the foyer and if you’ll fill out this visitor card, you’ll get a free gift for visiting us today! Hi. I’m JC and I am bad for the church. Now, some of you are not like me. You are Jonathans, raised in the house of your father,…

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…

Saving the world, one creep at a time…

Things may not be so good out there. I am quite sure that many of you already knew that. And now you are left asking the important question of “what now”? Well, diagnosing a problem is only the first step. A skilled physician not only determines what’s wrong, he suggests a cure. I believe that…

Satan’s Cure for Revival: The Sowing of Leaven

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…

The (ab)normal Christian Life

Have you ever stopped the world for a second and taken a long, hard look at what we have become? I have, and what I have seen has shocked me to my core. You see, to conform inside of the Cult of Normal truly is the easiest thing in the world to accomplish, you just…

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…

Amerikan Babylon

Button your lip. Don’t let the shield slip. Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask. And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions – You can hide, hide, hide, Behind paranoid eyes. You put on our brave face and slip over the road for a jar. Fixing your grin…
