I will be ever pressing for the common recognition of some basic truths that undergird the preservation of public freedom. The understanding that the domains of politics and religion are intertwined and in fact quite inseparable despite the shallow conceptions of materialistic humanism and its renewed attempts to deconstruct what it does not understand. They … More The Politics of Religion

I spent last week at Moravian Falls in North Carolina – An example to us in Jamaica of the potential of Religious Tourism. Rick Joyner’s Morning Star Church having purchased property where the early Moravians had purportedly invested 100 consecutive years in an unbroken chain of 24/7 prayer. Joyner along with others boosted the visitor … More Sanctuary Cities

This week Jamaicans celebrate 57 years of state sovereignty (to the degree that we have been able to establish it) and 185 years of Emancipation from slavery (to the degree we have worked that out also). Both freedom and sovereignty are essentially states of consciousness moreso than legislative realities established by the stroke of a … More Mirror Mirror

Jesus’ counterintuitive mind continues to fascinate the daylights out of me. From a cultural perspective, he was the ultimate contrarian. The kind of mind no matter how much studied you cant learn to predict. Jesus becomes aware that his end is near in John 13, and starts talking about it (his death) clear through to … More Eat your words

Not without reason did the scripture say a child will lead them. For similar reason, you will … More Unimpeachable

“Nothing else matters. All that matters is ‘The Change’. All who align with this position are automatically and irrevocably blessed.” Galatians 6:15 (my transliteration) For a substantial portion of us in Jamaica, Christianity is more lingo than lifestyle. I know how easily those of us nurtured in the modern mainstream evangelical movement are prone to … More Solo Christos 2: The Imitation of Christ

Time again to break silence. Last year, I had a conversation…..a difficult conversation. What was being reluctantly discussed was mind programming. Specifically – techniques of mind programming, results of mind programming, and the extent of the use of mass mind programming by its three biggest practitioners – the news media, state prescribed educational curricula and … More Matth 10:8

Some ideas threaten the entire fabric of our belief system, the value system anchored to it, and the decisions and behaviour that flow from both. They threaten our entire constructed identity. No wonder then, that we vehemently protect ourselves from these dangerous ideas and have constructed semi- impregnable prophylactic psychic defenses to prevent the sperm … More Dangerous ideas
