Why All These Manifestos?

Why in the world are we now seeing all of these manifestos pop up all of a sudden? Let’s face it, A Christian Manifesto…. Evangelical Manifesto…. Manhattan Declaration… An Emergent Manifesto of Hope…. Even Brother Andrew of “Open Doors” fame has gotten into the act via “The Bethlehem Evangelical Affirmation” (HT pjmiller All of these manifestos and affirmations appear to be brought forth to either somehow be held in future history to the same level as the creeds and catechisms of old or is the strategy of a new reactive tactic ...

The Pattern Is Repeating Itself

Ladies and gentlemen, we have appeared to have already past “Go”. Did you collect the $200.00? Over the past year since America elected a new President of a different political party, I have started to notice that the typical American church life is changing. The more I see of the changes, the more it reminds me of the last time a US President of the same political party currently in power was in office. Ladies and Gentlemen…. The pattern is repeating itself all over again. Gone is the hyper Word of Faith gospel ...

Review: Forgotten God – Chapter Three

A review of chapter three from the book “Forgotten God” by Francis Chan. Entitled “Theology of The Holy Spirit 101″ It is in this chapter that the author decides to lay down the basic groundwork for the theology of the Holy Spirit. The chapter starts out with the author remembering his seminary studies where he would read dissertations from both sides of a theological concept, saw valid points from both sides and did not really know which side of the issue he believed in. All of this lead to a memory ...

Articles of Interest 03-12-10 Before I get started, I am still catching up on many e-mails. The past weekend leading into the earlier part of the week, I had that awful, nasty, and weakening flu bug that has been going around. I had the normal symptoms but for some reason, I also had an extreme sensitivity to light and therefore did not cut the computer on for two days.

Review: Forgotten God – Chapter Two

A review of chapter two from the book “Forgotten God” by Francis Chan. Entitled “What Are You Afraid Of?” Fear of rejection has paralyzed me more than once. Francis Chan starts out this chapter talking about this subject. From past experiences to potential reactions concerning the contents of the book, he begins to unveil that even though his thing is with rejection, there are other things that other people fear that inhibit, influences, or even paralyzes them. With me, it is the fear of rejection, again as I never have been able ...

Spiritual Stereotyping aka Penteprofiling

Profiling is generally defined as the process of introducing behaviors characteristic to a particular gender, race, or ethnic background to analyze whether an individual is deemed to be ‘highly probable’ to commit certain crimes or to behave in certain ways. For example, if statistics exist to indicate that the majority of small-scale inner city drug trafficking are performed by members of a certain race who loves high-priced used luxury cars, wears their jeans very low, etc.; then the profiling of those members of a certain race could lead to increased traffic ...

That Elephant May Never Forget…

That elephant may never forget, but I do. For some odd reason, I do not have the best memory. I never did well in literature class when we had to memorize approximately 200 lines from various William Shakespeare works (and it never came up again after high school in my real world); or the preamble to the Constitution; or the Ten Commandments, or the Bill of Rights and the thing that really bothers me is I have a hard time memorizing Bible verses…. I can memorize enough parts (after reading it over and ...

Review: Forgotten God – Chapter One

A review of chapter one from the book “Forgotten God” by Francis Chan. Entitled “I’ve Got Jesus. Why Do I Need The Spirit?” After I read this chapter, there was a thought that immediately came to my head. Dueling Holy Ghost A musical tune done in a parody to the ole “Dueling Banjos” song except that it would be two popular instruments instead of banjos. A trumpet and a country twangy guitar. The trumpet in symbolism to the mainline denominations and the country twangy guitar in symbolism to the pentecostals. Because all my thoughts ...
