    Two demons

    Two demons have plagued man since he stepped out from under the shadow of his creator. They whisper in our ears the words that tie us to the mud. They help us build our dead religious systems. They blind us to the possibilities of who we really are and what we can really do. Their names...

    Christ was born today

    Revelation tells us that Christ was slain before the foundation of the world. Again John tells us in his gospel that before there was anything there was Christ and that all things are created through Him. Today we celebrate His birth that to us happened 2000 years ago. In eternity however it is...

    God gave me a vision of a broom Thanksgiving morning

    God gave me a vision of a broom Thanksgiving morning. I saw that it was coming. Sunday I saw it again. This time it swept down a swath from Maryland to the northern part of Louisiana. It swept in an arch across the area between the Mississippi river and the east coast. In its wake was a great...

    What are your views on Christian Psychology?

    First let me say I think psychology is a better choice for you than IT. The IT work is going overseas what remains here is over work and under pay. As for the OP, psychology is good at getting to the root of people’s problems it is however lousy at healing them. The degree would open doors...

    My Thoughts this halloween

    I agree Dave, I would make the same points you are. It is odd that both Cathy and I are so vexed about it all, but, we are and I guess that is all I can add to the subject. John O.

    My Thoughts this halloween

    I remember a demonized lady I ministered to once. She had a spirit of witchcraft. The demon cried out that it did not have to leave as she had invited it in as a child when while watching “Bewitched” she had said to herself “I wish I could do that” One does not have to...

    My Thoughts this halloween

    It is odd for me to find myself on the “religious” side of any issue. If you know me, you know I’m all about grace and freedom. Yet, this year more than any previous I have been vexed by all the Halloween stuff. Every show on the tube, every movie offered up this week has...

    Why do Christians have different interpretation of Scriptures"

    More people know scripture than actually know God. Knowing Him sheds a lot of light on what some people believe... John O.

    tell me about the one you pray to

    From my blog: Suddenly I am wide awake, I look over at the alarm clock and it reads 3:00 AM and a voice that I know is God says, “Come I want to spend some time with you” I have been awakened by God before but this time was different It was as if he was calling to me from the...

    What lessons can we learn from this?

    I believe more than anything else that it is a sign of the times. The kingdom and the gospel is not about TV time and grand crystal palaces. The day of the superstar preacher is past. It’s painful for those caught up in it and I pray for them to receive grace and provision but, the gospel...

    Lying for the Gospel's sake?

    Samuel says to God: If Saul finds out I’m going to anoint one of Jesse’s sons he will kill me God says to Samuel: Don’t tell him, tell him you are going there to make a sacrifice. (It sure sounds like a misrepresentation of facts to me.) Consider these passages: 2. 1 Kings 22:23...

    Lying for the Gospel's sake?

    Consider this: 1Sa 16:1 The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you go on grieving over Saul? I have rejected him as king of Israel. But now get some olive oil and go to Bethlehem, to a man named Jesse, because I have chosen one of his sons to be king." 1Sa 16:2 "How can I do that?" Samuel...
