I was a guy that spent more than 20 years in dispensational church cultures. I read all the right books, tracked with all the right influencers, watched all the right conferences, and I believed all the right doctrines. Change came when after all that time, I realized I was missing something vital. […]

The Spirit bears witness with our spirit
Saturday, December 17 2022.
The Holy Spirit can "bear witness with our spirit" about many things. - Rom 8:16 There were 2 things this week that I believe the Spirit had burdened my heart with: - one was a "go back and check this" - the other was a "pray for and monitor this" On the "go back […]
Shaken

There are SO MANY ideas and practices that have become entrenched and institutionalized in the modern church. It's foolish to think that this will all carry forward in its current form. The solution? He will shake all things "so that the unshakeable may remain." - Heb 12:27

The Restrainer
Friday, December 16 2022.
"And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed" 2 Thes 2:6-8 There have […]

Once Saved, Always Saved?
Thursday, December 15 2022.
The modern Gospel often says that if you're a Christian, you're all set; you can just rest in His grace. Paul the Apostle on the other hand, warned all Christians to: "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves.” (2 Corinthians 13:5) - Joel Richardson I think that the […]

Zion
Tuesday, December 13 2022.
It's dissapointing when the Old Testament prophets fall out of favour, or are treated like second class citizens in comparison to New Testament books. I think it's probably why much of the modern western church has such a fuzzy understanding of the Kingdom of God. By far, the majority of details […]

An Incomplete Christmas Message
Monday, December 12 2022.
We attended a church service yesterday. It started off with a children's play, re-enacting the events leading up to the birth of Jesus. It was quite endearing. It was followed up with a main message by the Pastor. The focus of the message was Jesus as King. He used Matt 2:6, which was a quote from […]

The Fellowship of Affliction
Sunday, December 11 2022.
When most of us think of human emotions, there's a tendency to regard them as strictly in the realm of human experience. We forget that we were created in His image. We tend to think of our Creator as a "rock wall" when it comes to emotions. This would be a false image. Autumn Crew of […]

The Global Collective
Sunday, December 4 2022.
"The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast." Rev 13:3b How could this have been even remotely possible in any other time in human history but today? The "global collective" - group-think mentality enabled by the "world wide web". […]

The Marriage of the Lamb
Thursday, December 1 2022.
In the 19th chapter of the Revelation to John, we see an incredible scene. I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God! For His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who […]
