The first part of this article highlighted some thoughts: That man is blind to the other sphere which we call the ‘spiritual’ That the earth as we know it is a smaller framework within a much larger framework or being – God That the earth has it’s unique laws That ‘Education’/’Learning’, as defined by an earth perspective, adds to the blindness man took on during the fall.

I was lying down in the boat when I felt, more than heard, the 'sound' of silence - just the type before a storm hit. Then the storm hit! We struggled for a while with the boat and rough seas and were glad when the seas finally became calmer. I didn't want my tombstone to read: He lost his life as he searched for fish. I thought of getting back to my cozy corner when someone pointed out

(Warning – This article may affect you) I will like to share some thoughts – but I have to warn the readers beforehand that you do not have to take in the things that you see here. Some of them are very easy to understand and some are just…weird, or a bit confusing, but at the end of the day “let every man be fully persuaded” All of scripture is from God BUT all of God is not in scripture.

To my mind, if marriage was a movie, the man would be the pictures and the woman would be the sound, and if marriage were a painting, the man would bethe picture and the woman would be all the colours. Indeed, one can ‘operate’ without the other – but there is a lingering feeling of a lack of wholeness. Today has been both wonderful and exhausting as a new phase of my life begins. So while

The first part of this article was aimed at attempting to get people to think out of the box and see scripture without the assumptions it generally tends to be taught with. I plan to really zero in on the meat of the article. However, I need to say something before I go on. I am NOT looking to encourage finger-pointing or fault finding. That is all too easy to do and a breeding ground for

The plane took off and my friends and I chitchatted excitedly. It was my first time flying with a group of friends, so there was no ‘alone-time’ to look out of the window and to get lost in personal musing. My friend who sat next to the window almost reminded me of a little daughter as she pointed at interesting sights. ‘That’s a bridge. It’s so long, even from here’ ‘That’s a cloud. Wow! We

So what was God’s plan? Straight up. His plan was to get a group of men to come together to build. To brand themselves uniquely with different names, different modes of worship, so that there could be some sort of uniqueness. His plan was to get people together in gatherings where in unity they would sit down, stand up, dance, clap, pray, raise hands, wave hands, talk to their neighbours

My wife and I were spending the evening with a newly married couple. The husband happens to be a popular musician, and as we talked about some of the huge challenges of the music industry, life and other matters, he said he had known his wife for 13 years before they got married. She’d known him, his travails and had been his friend when he was not popular. It reminded me of my wife. We had

Ah, I hated marriage! I definitely found all the expressions used to describe it slightly morbid: I tend to think in pictures and flowcharts, so the expression, ‘settle down’ always reminded me of a sad floating object, slowly losing buoyancy, and finally sinking down to the bottom of a dark, lonely, well, where it would sit still FOREVER and gather slimy moss, or ‘Tie the knot’, which

So here I am in my living room, typing an article with a keyboard that is missing the letters ‘G’ and ‘H’, really understanding the words of the song, Big Yellow Taxi – “…you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” – but determined, nonetheless, to write an article. It’s been far too long and waiting forever to find a replacement laptop keyboard for rather rare laptop, an Advent 7208 is

The desert stretched on forever before him. He was tired – dead tired. Soon, he thought to himself, he could die. He was out of supplies, parched, drained, depleted and his strength was failing fast. His brisk walk had long slowed to lazy steps. Now, he mustered every ounce of concentration to put one foot in front of the other. The problem was, he did not know where he was going. Along

Discouragement! Now, that can be such a heavy word. After a meeting went wrong, I sat down in the driver seat of my car, feeling like my life was been driven out of control. Oh, yeah, I would have loved to 'take charge' but sometimes, you look back at your life and wonder how you came to be where you are. That was how I felt. I looked to the sky and thoughts filled my mind. I wondered why

At that time in my life, I was a pastor - and that was why I was looking into her eyes. There were tears in her eyes and she was afraid. Her husband respected me and so could express his fears. I had to squelch mine inside. When I got a call about the emergency, I had looked to the heavens and trusted God as we drove to the hospital. We walked into the crowded ward and seeing many dead babies

I sit down sometimes and ponder on Jesus and what he is really like. Is he black because Revelations says his feet are like brass or is he white because all the movies depict him that way? Or is he Hispanic or really (SERIOUSLY) does he look like Osama Bin Laden because he was from the Middle East? (I'm sure many have not thought about that before!) Would his temperament have been sanguine

If you read my last article, I must say, it all sounds like a lot of drama and someone replied in my post that I was crazy – which is amusing. However, like I said before, I’m just going to be showing links, expressing thoughts and allow you explore for yourself. Okay let’s back up a bit to the story. I started by saying that there will be an Anti-Christ who will rule over an alliance of

Hopefully, I may not be writing about the end-times for a while. The more you read up on the subject, the more you see – and the more things open up. I also notice that people get very uncomfortable around the subject – particularly Christians. It is almost as though Christians say “Repent, Christ is coming soon” – but hardly believe it themselves…and REALLY do not REALLY want it to REALLY happen

This is just a really quick blog. I normally like to write fairly lengthy blogs and God knows that I have been trying to just talk about something else, but the end-time deal just jumps right in my face EVERYTIME. Maybe it's Apophenia (I really like that word!!!) I just found out about the Wocu, which is almost a sort of world-wide currency arrangement. I plan to read up a bit more before

I have been talking about the signs of the end for a while. It’s been my intention to write a few lines every time I start to write, but before I know it, I end up writing scores of pages – and learning as I go, which is the most exciting part. I wrote last time on the Mark of the Beast and what I thought it could be – microchip implants. There have been several replies and I need to correct a

It is not with some kind of sick glee that I highlight why scripture shows the Rapture is NOT before tribulation, as shown in my last post. I sit down sometimes, and being human, I feel a sense of trepidation about the current state of our world. I think about my wife and kids and wonder what the world is going to be like for us, how easy it will be to move around, what price may need to be paid…

The first time I spoke to friends and said I believed that the rapture’s timing as preached was a bit ‘off’, I was branded a heretic. I also read with interest LaHaye’s Left-Behind series which are very interesting novels. I have known and respected LaHaye since I was a child because my dad had quite a lot of his books. I think he started writing before I could talk. However, after personal
