Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Tuesday, January 29, 2008. The practise of tithing is quite interesting to me. I find it interesting partly because I was brought up in a tradition that did not practise it, but also because as I understand scripture, tithing is only a requirement if you are Jewish and are living under the Mosaic covenant. Yet tithing is big in so many churches, particularly of the pentecostal persausion. Old Testament References to Tithing. In the Pentateuch,.

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Sunday, June 29, 2008. I've been writing a lot about the sexual depravity of our society this week. I thought the series of three would be the end (although I never imagined there would be a "series"), but there is more in the paper today. I have been following with some interest over the last few days the results of the. Government's investigation of the sexualisation of children. Labels: Morality / Ethics. Wednesday, June 25, 2008.

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Monday, December 24, 2007. A response to Philip Pullman wanting to kill God. I find the idea of trying to kill God an odd notion. That a created, finite being is uppity enough to think that he can kill the Holy, Eternal and Uncreated One is amusing. It's about as likely as an ant being able to kill an elephant just by sheer will power! Dad paid above award wages! So he sets off back home. In his head he's rehearsing what he'll say to his fat...

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Friday, May 23, 2008. I think my biggest problem with patience is boredom. If there is something that I am looking forward to and am emotionally engaged with, or I see that life could be better once something happens, then the biggest sense of boredom with where I am now sets in. BUT WHY NOT NOW? See now impatience sounds kinda holy! I'm not impatient, I just want Jesus to come back soon! Thursday, May 15, 2008. God of the Second-hand. I've deci...

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Friday, February 29, 2008. Have you seen Fight Club? If not, I'm sorry, I'm about to ruin the ending for you! After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! This job just doesn't exist, He put it here for me...

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Monday, August 25, 2008. I think I like Mike Guglielmucci's song Healer better now. Danny Guglielmucci has made a statement about what led to Mike's cancer story:. Http:/ www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,24233308-5006301,00.html. I think I like the song. For everyone else we need to learn/remember the following things:. Deal with sin, don't hide it, God won't let it stay hidden for ever, so have a zero-tolerance policy towards sin.

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Saturday, September 13, 2008. Sex is NOT a toy! The following report from the Age details some of the effects of not allowing children to have their innocence, by bringing them up in a society with views on sexualisation that are based on the perverted desires of adults rather than the good of children:.

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. What gives us stability in unstable times? Friday, April 18, 2008. If this is art, then call me uncultured. I read today about a college student in the US who has been artificially inseminating herself, and then taking abortifacients in order to suffer miscarriage. She has been using video footage of herself having the miscarriages and the bloody remains of her murdered children, as ART. In Jesus' name. Amen. I think cal...

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Saturday, November 29, 2008. I was told recently that I never write anything light hearted on my blog. This post seeks to rectify that ;-). For a long time I have thought that "Grace" was the perfect name for a girl. Its pretty, and its theologically splendiferous. So its been the the mental list for when I (at some point in the not too close future) have kids. So I now think the most perfect name for a little girl would be:. First up, I don't t...

Will probably rant about prosperity doctrine at some point. Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Jim Schembri writes in. About the loss of joy as we grow up. His descriptions of a child's joy are compelling:. He further charts our attempts to reclaim that joy in hyperrealities (ala Mark Sayers):. What would we give to recapture even a small measure of that joy? He ends nowhere really, advising that we should just enjoy children being joyful. But I think there is more that can be done. Monday, October 6, 2008.
