Long-term problems generally require long term solutions which are best spearheaded by long-term leadership. But in our almost global rejection of dynasty, seen as the source of all evil, we seem to have settled for king-for-a-day governance rather than grapple with the hard task of people empowerment, the requirement for healthy, working democracies. Power still … More Mr. Bombastic
This is definitely not a theological treatise. The only reason prophecy is thought of as a religious subject is because of a stultefied science, which this piece does not attempt to directly challenge, only ignore. The misguided notion that associates religion with sacred texts on the works of God and science with man-made theories about … More Prophetic premises and protocols
Understandably, the main focus of my recent thoughts on America’s destiny (and whether mentioned or not, the tied destinies of Israel and even ramifications for our own island and regional politic) might seem submerged in the deep philosophical and theological musings that encase them. But the main focus of the Prophetic Series (as becomes clearer … More Sovereign will, Sovereign Power
After watching last night on Netflix a rehearsal of the Waco events of 93, the Branch Dravidian drama and the deep insights it gives into the soul of white America, its political and religious dimensions and how they intertwine, I thought again to highlight an article Prophecy 2 written several years ago, and its relevance … More Crossing the line
Every Black History Month for the last 20 years I have deliberately sought to circulate articles from my blog “The Half Not Told” in an attempt at kindling a conversation, hopefully a balanced conversation, an honest conversation, a hard-to-have conversation about race … and race like family, like nationality, like social group and faith community … More Sacred Stories – The hard problem of RACE
While essential preparation for good leadership includes not just thorough familiarity with, but also habituation of the laws, customs, principles and traditions that cause community to cohere; life like music is often complex, subject to change of time and season. Regulation, while necessary, is no simple dance. The power to dismiss dissent is older than … More The Power of Rhythm / The Art of Rule
Each of these blogposts is generally crammed with information. Most of what I hope will be contemplated is the stuff mentioned in passing, usually just a hyperlink (highlighted in red) indicates the material that probably inspired whatever brief commentary is made during the post. I mentioned recently Jacob Collier’s I harm U series which launched … More Harmony 2
Much of how we see the world is decided before we look. I constantly marvel how many typos I detect when editing these blogs only after the sixth or seventh re-reading. This is simply due to the fact that I tend to see what I am expecting should be there. Only after the seventh examination … More Worldview and Objectivity – Reverential relevance
Pastor Fitzroy Kerr seems to be getting some elements of the church’s media mandate correct. Ever since Something More announced the presence of Pentecostal Evangelicals on the Jamaican TV screen with the substantial donation of television equipment from Chapel Hill Harvester Church’s Arch Bishop Earl Paulk, then at the height of his ministerial influence emphasizing … More Mandate for Media Ministry
The last time I heard Angels sing was in 1986. Of course, I could easily dispense with religious jargon and describe the event very differently. What I heard were subtle but distinct tonal harmonies on the threshold of audibility, remarkably similar to the synthesizer-generated tones I had just used to amplify the ethereal atmosphere in … More Lessons from the God Zone: A United Kingdom
