Other’s May, You Cannot

Below is a flesh melting little note that Leonard Ravenhill gave me and my wife back in the late 1980’s. It will not be liked by the self-obsessed, me-monkey, salvation egoist. However, those who hunger for a true walk with God will sense its anointing and will embrace the prescribed path. Lastly, I recommend reading T-Austin Spark’s book, The School of Christ. Pure gold for the hungry soul.

If God has called you to be truly like Jesus in all your spirit, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility. He will put on you such demands…

What To Pray When The Wicked Prosper And The Righteous Suffer

Have you ever looked at clearly wicked impenitent people and leaders and think, “Why the heck are they prospering and their wretched schemes succeeding?”

In the meantime, in between time, folks that are trying to do right, obey God and influence society with the gracious biblical worldview, are getting kicked by culture like a stuck door at Chuck Norris’s house. Yep, in today’s jacked-up world, evil gets the green light and Christianity gets canceled…

17 Things The Bible Never Said

“And I say unto thee, quarantine thyself, live in dread and flee from the sick for thou art an American Christian.” – Ringo 12:36

“Obey civil magistrates who don’t give two flying craps about the Church” – Specious Doo 6:66

“Hey, if there’s a bad cold going around, stop meeting together, no more corporate gatherings, no more communion and singing and stuff” – Snafu 2:32

A Psalm of War Against Evil Leaders

Alot of people, for many, many serious reasons, are wringing their hands nowadays over the glide path our nation is tooling down thanks to the Marxist morons inside the Beltway.

Yep, at this writing, our current bevy of “leaders” care for that which is holy, just and good about as much as a badger cares what a prairie dog feels when he’s chewing on his carotid artery.

I’ve personally seen and heard many Christians buy into this hand wringing…

A Psalm of War Against the Violent

When one conjures up in their whirring tin brain what it means to be a good “Christian,” who has a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ,” one imagines …

A nice old man who wears a cardigan, buys MyPillows, lives comfortably, watches Mike Huckabee and says, “God bless you” every time you sneeze.
Some elderly lady who clutches her pearls and says,

Dear Christian: Drop This Prayer Bomb On The Enemy’s Head

“…don’t give me the silent treatment, O God. Your enemies are out there whooping it up” – Psalm 83:1-5

Asaph, in Psalm 83, prays to God to do this to their new set of enemies what God did to the old set of enemies such as Edom, Moab, Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia, the Tyrians, Assyria, and the Midianites. Google what God did to His people’s enemies who wouldn’t leave His Chosen Ones alone. It wasn’t pretty.

Dear TinkerPot Pastors: Your Jesus Is Too Nice.

“Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” – 1Cor.16:13

2016 saw the publication of my best, best-selling book, The Effeminization Of The American Male. I must warn you: that book is rougher than grandma’s breath. Especially if you’re a slack-jawed entitled young male. Good luck with getting through that brutal tome. Oh, by the way, I suggest you put on a cup …

Our Neutered ‘Jesus’ vs. The REAL Jesus

“It seems that if someone shows up preaching quite another Jesus than we preached — you put up with him quite nicely.” – 2Cor.11:4-6 (The Message)

When the misinformed thinks of Jesus nowadays, one imagines … An overly ebullient, grinning hick with a curly mullet, a man bag and a quaint southern drawl, who spits out more aphorisms than Joel Osteen on crystal-meth-laced Mountain Dew.

Hero Savior

“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been … “– Matthew 1: 18-21

Jesus Was A Terrifying Toddler

“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him… … Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them the exact time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, … ” – Matthew 2:1-6

Baptized Dragonslayer

“Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” But Jesus answer- ing said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *permitted Him. After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God … “Matthew 3:13-17 (NASB)

Devil Defeater

“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilder- ness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hun- gry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’ Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple … “Matthew 4:1-11
