Great Ganglions?: August 2008
http://greatganglions.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A former charismatic Christian stuck in a charismatic church. What's this site about? Check out my introductory post first. Tuesday, August 5, 2008. In Acts 2, we see the definition of tongues, and find no reason to believe that there is a redefinition elsewhere. The words used are. What competent author or historian, having taken pains to describe a phenomenon in detail, would suddenly start describing another, distinct phenomenon using the same terms he used for the already defined phenomenon? However,...

Great Ganglions?: Heal the sick, raise the dead, etc.

A former charismatic Christian stuck in a charismatic church. What's this site about? Check out my introductory post first. Sunday, November 9, 2008. Heal the sick, raise the dead, etc. The charismatic view of the Christian life is light years away from my understanding of it. The consistent charismatics are the ones who recognize the high importance of the gifts and manifestations of the Spirit. Tied in with this is always something like my pastor said today, "Where in the Bible does it say that the Hol...

Great Ganglions?: Works of the flesh
http://greatganglions.blogspot.com/2008/09/works-of-flesh.html
A former charismatic Christian stuck in a charismatic church. What's this site about? Check out my introductory post first. Thursday, September 18, 2008. Works of the flesh. Something. Note that we don't pray for those things corporately; we declare. Them together: "We declare righteousness and peace for the neighborhood." Feels like a cult of some sort incanting magic words. For my part,. I've half a mind to stand up and declare. Am I too cynical? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I can't stand it any...

Great Ganglions?: Declarations
http://greatganglions.blogspot.com/2008/11/declarations.html
A former charismatic Christian stuck in a charismatic church. What's this site about? Check out my introductory post first. Sunday, November 23, 2008. I wonder how big a trend this is. I mentioned before that my church does this, but I wanted to point out that a church in an old, rundown part of our town has recently started declaring the following statements because they are under the impression that chanting these magic words will effect some supernatural, Piercing the Darkness. 8 We declare a spirit o...

Great Ganglions?: No baby
http://greatganglions.blogspot.com/2008/08/no-baby.html
A former charismatic Christian stuck in a charismatic church. What's this site about? Check out my introductory post first. Monday, August 4, 2008. I think the charismatic movement suffers from a fundamentally misguided interpretation of the Christian life. Moreover, it's a blemish upon Christianity's reputation. Let me give you a little background. It didn’t feel at all like I thought it would, but I prayed in tongues in worship as often as I could. Flash forward 12 years (has it been that long? No, alt...

Great Ganglions?: Angels
http://greatganglions.blogspot.com/2008/09/angels.html
A former charismatic Christian stuck in a charismatic church. What's this site about? Check out my introductory post first. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. As an update on my last post. My prediction of a prayer walk did not come to pass - glad to be wrong every now and then. The prediction that someone would blame it on the supposed inroads we're making in the spiritual realm, on the other hand, was fulfilled. Their solution? Out with the bathwater," this nonsense - although frequently recognized as such -...

Great Ganglions?: Angels win! (But whose angels?)

A former charismatic Christian stuck in a charismatic church. What's this site about? Check out my introductory post first. Saturday, November 22, 2008. Quick update on the thievery that's recently plagued the neighborhood (the stealing of copper from the AC units). My church ordered the angels of the Lord to keep it from happening again, and they quickly let us down. I'd like to see them try to get a reference from us! It was a church a few streets down that caught him. See, they actually had their ...
