Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. – John 8:44 I…

Flat Earth vs Globe Earth and Why it Matters to You
It has taken me about three months to put out this first post on this topic. It took about two of those three months to process the emotional elements associated with a paradigm shift and the remaining month to more positively embrace and learn about what originally seemed as an archaic and outlandish pile of beefdirt (slightly different from hogwash).…
A Timely Word to the Church: No Bed of Roses
Of course, many people know the gem that is Watchman Nee’s ‘the Spiritual man’ but sometimes when you are reading parts they jump out as full-on prophecy. Like any other sceptical 21st century believer, I am very hesitant to call something prophecy but read this and tell me that God wasn’t speaking to Nee: A Christian must be delivered from…
How to Make Joshua 13-21 Hyper Exciting
Joshua 13-21 is the part of the Bible where God divides the land to the 12 tribes. I have read this many times and it’s a little… boring. The Word of God ‘boring’??? Sin! Repent! No. Some parts of the Word of God are boring. Of course they are “exciting because it’s the Word of God and God is speaking…
Church Worship Music: The Good, Bad, Ugly, Right, and Wrong
Music – it’s just so personal. Musical Theory Crash Course – What is Music? Let’s, for a second talk about music on a secular (wordly) level. It’s composed of melody, harmony and rhythm. Theoretically, then, a computer can write a song by adding all of these elements in some way and create ‘music’. And computers can and do this. On…
Healthy Biblical Position on Privacy and Security
Second revision: March 17, 2016 The other day I indicated to a Bible-believer friend that I would prefer to only communicate with this person (and everyone else) by means of Telegram or secured email, rather than SMS messaging or totally unsecured email. To my surprise, this person replied back that they were ‘unsure of their biblical position on privacy’. Being…
Should Yoga be Taught in BC Public Schools?
UPDATES: RESPONSES below added The following is a real dialogue between a British Columbia parent who didn’t like the idea of their child doing yoga without their permission in what they thought was a secular school. Note that the parent received no further communication after sending their time-consuming response below: Original Email written by Teacher to Parent Mrs.…
The Best Way to Flee Naked
I love God’s word. All of it. Some of it, I will indeed be asking Him directly about one day for the full revelation but for now, while I’m sporting my patented Glasses Darkly, I only get a little glimpse. Today I was reading this unique chunk of spiritual revelation. It occurred seconds after Jesus was betrayed by Judas and…
Summary, Chart and Calendar of Old Testament Levitical Sacrifices and Festivals
Long title but wanted to make sure the search algorithms caught it so you saved all the search time I wasted! Even though this post doesn’t perfectly give what I’m still looking for, hopefully someone can take these resources and have enough time to build what I really wanted. Let me explain what it is I wished I could find…
Friends, Family and the Flesh
My dear spouse, why do I find it hard to receive biblical perspectives and teachings from you? Why do my family and friends always discourage me from my heart’s desires? Why are my family and friends not as excited about my prospective mate? Do some of these questions hit home? For Bible believers, they are tied together quite intimately. Last…
