It was March 28th 2006 when I sent an email to a mentee expressing concern over the results of the Israeli election which would be coming in the following day. My consternation was that if BB Netanyahu won, it would be the end of the world as we know it. I said as much to … More The End
I check my past blog articles fairly regularly to patrol what video references may have become defunct i.e. (have been taken down by Google). My subject matter has evidently very disturbing potential (the purpose of the trumpet is to ‘sound secrets never spoken’. I have understood that there is tremendous energy invested in not knowing … More Hypocrites or Hypnotized?
Tonight was my first visit to King’s House since it’s present occupant, Governor General Sir Patrick Allen took up office in 2009. Once a regular visitor as one of the preferred musicians for former heads of state, I was delighted to see some of the fairly recent changes in the last two years of divers … More Tabernacle of Testimony
It is always interesting to compare the human and divine perspective. We have always pictured hell’s gates as open wide to receive the hosts of sinners and unbelievers captured by demon spirits scattered throughout the earth. But in scripture, it is heaven’s gates that are open wide and never shut, needing no defense. All who … More A shift of perspective-Gates again
The racism at the heart of the Judeo-Christian worldview is easily recognizable to those unobstructed by the sacred veil that hides its face from its proponents. Indeed, all religion tends to promote a decided ethnocentrism, even if it seeks and struggles in doctrine and practice to transcend it (as admittedly does Christianity with grand pronouncements … More Right and Rule
I’ve lifted from my draft folder the following unfinished post, written during the pivotal days before the January 6th insurrection when Trump was still challenging the election results through the Courts: I recommend every American believer, of whatever stripe and persuasion to daily tune in to Pat Robertson’s 700 club and Dutch Sheet’s Give Him … More A brief look at the recent past
‘What do you see in the future?’ was the question being posed to the three young men in the bar. I’ve often found the corner rum shop to be as amenable to deep spiritual and philosophical reflection as a Sunday morning sermon at church, though truthfully I admit that both places at times can be … More Looking into the future
Had I chosen for my subject: Christian culture, most persons would expect very different content, notwithstanding that the root of ‘culture’ and ‘cultivate’ is the same. ‘Cult’ and ‘cultic’ have taken on altogether different connotations the way we use language today. Both are diminutive and derogatory in their every day application and utterly divorced from … More The cult of Christ
There is nothing particularly destabilizing about having enemies, or even having them close. In fact, some prefer to keep their enemies closer than their friends in order to be able to constantly monitor what they might be up to. The great danger is not being able to identify them; and even worse, to mistake enemies … More The Power of Profanity, The Tyranny of Decorum
I had already begun the habit of making copious notes in a daily diary of all the interesting events I encountered each day … and each night, I might add, for I also included the details of dreams. I might have started that habit in my teens, but it became a vital aspect of my … More Vox Dei (2)
