Jesus is not your servant
Live Dead Joy is not your typical “devotional.” You can read it every day, but you’ll end up on your face repenting every day. It’s not what you think of as “devotional.” But it IS necessary. Example from today: It is somewhat ludicrous to call Jesus a servant-king. The danger in reducing Jesus to this hyphenated nonsense is that it…

The necessity of waiting on God
Moses was called up to the mountain. There he was in the powerful presence of God 40 days and nights. Moses spent the forty days in the presence of God and received the blueprint for God’s heart concerning Israel. Israel “waited” at the bottom of the mountain and fell back to their old patterns from Egypt. Moses received the heart…

#PointerGate
Look! A white lady pointing! The lady is Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges. The blurred out face is Navell Gordon. This is the controversial story (HERE). Quite honestly, it is now IMPOSSIBLE to try to read deep enough to find any semblance of “truth” as to why this has exploded in the media. Those to the “left” are posting thousands of…

Christians being…

Keep Calm. All has truly returned to normal.
Post election blues for many liberals. Post election exhaling for conservatives. A lot of inhaling for those in DC and Oregon who passed the legalization of recreational marijuana… Yes, life has returned to normal. Breathe deep. If you lost… give it two years. If you won… give it two years. In jest, I posted this on my Facebook page this morning: And…

Thoughts on the political process
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.” —Groucho Marx “The Democrats are the party of government activism, the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, taller, and get the chickweed out of your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work, and then get…

Vote. Yes. Vote!
Elections are about rich guys taking on other rich guys. It’s about a two-party system that controls just about everything and is incredibly unresponsive to people. They pay attention to LOBBYISTS, but they pretend to need us (the voters) for a short period of time. It’s rich guys bashing other rich guys for being… well… rich. It’s a lot of…
