Revelation-Light

Like Alice in Wonderland, we seemed to have fallen down a societal rabbit-hole where truth, or even how we understand what is true, is being assaulted on all fronts.  At the risk of mixing metaphors, this Orwellian nightmare we find ourselves in is celebrating the Emporer’s new clothes. Tragically, it’s only producing a sickness to our collective soul.

Hatred died

14Our reconciling “Peace” is Jesus! He has made Jew and non-Jew one in Christ. By dying as our sacrifice, he has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ. 15Ethnic hatred has been dissolved by the crucifixion of his precious body on the cross. The legal code that stood condemning every one of us has now been repealed by his command. His triune essence has made peace between us by starting over—forming  one new race of humanity,  Jews and non-Jews fused together in himself!

16Two have now become one, and we live restored to God and reconciled in the body of Christ. Through his crucifixion, hatred died.  (Eph.2:14-16 TPT) 

Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi

Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi. Allowing truly free speech is a threat to democracy. In fact, all speech is violence and, therefore, all speech that challenges my ideology is violent hate speech.

Furthermore, any political person who disagrees with my views is a fascist.  Everything that’s wrong with the world is all Trump’s Putin’s fault.

With that out of the way, here’s a funny clip from the Babylon Bee on the recent Elon Musk offer to buy out Twitter to illustrate my point. Enjoy. 🙂

The Gift that keeps on giving!

What do we think of when we think about Easter? Most of us focus on what Jesus did on the cross, which is a good thing. Without the cross nothing wonderful can happen. But Easter morning is not about the cross; it’s about the empty tomb. It’s not about Jesus’ death; it’s about the gift of Jesus’ life, not only given for us but given to us!

When narratives are at war with reality

It’s been said that we don’t live according reality; we live according to our perception of reality. While this is true, it doesn’t follow that there is no objective reality.  A narrative is the presentation of the positions of a politician or political party in the media, as by press releases, speeches, and interviews. And when we live according narratives, we can be led to believe in a very warped view of reality.

Marxian Religion and their Woke Inquisitors

To quote Monty Python, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.” And, indeed, the inquisition is here, today, embodied in the Woke left. As I’ve pointed out in the past, Marxism and Socialism are more akin to a religious cult than to a political movement. And this is intentional. Antonio Gramsci, a forerunner of cultural Marxism said as much.

The Mission

What has always struck me when I first encountered God is that, in those life-changing interactions, my sins never came up. This was long before I knew Him as a Father. I found that He never deals in shame or condemnation. Now, He is a father, so He has corrected me many times, to help me mature as a son. But never with shame or by rubbing my sin in my face.

Truth

There’s no such thing as “your truth.” There’s just your opinion, or perhaps your perspective, and the actual truth. Obviously, there has been a major assault on truth in our culture. Truth has been replaced by weaponized narratives and personal preferences. But it’s the truth that makes us free; it’s the lies we believe and perpetuate that keeps us in bondage.

Who are the fascists?

Fascism: “A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition.”

Hmmmm….

Powerful people choose love instead of fear

Hey all! It’s been awhile since I posted anything here. I needed a break from the blogosphere and, frankly, I’ve been crazy busy.  But for my first post for 2022, I want talk about my favorite subject—love!

Here’s my point. We will either live our lives according to fear or love. And whenever we choose fear over love, we lose a part of us. Our lives are diminished and our soul becomes fractured. We miss God’s good intent for us, for He wants us to choose to live powerful lives guided by love and self-control.
