    O, church… watch and listen.

    Can’s sleep tonight. I don’t know if I had too much coffee or read too much or listened to too much today. It’s probably a combination of the three… but… sleep eludes me tonight. So much is going on!! I am completely astonished—really. I say to myself over and over… how bad are things going to get. What will things look like when they get there? It’s amazing to me the incredible break-neck speed at which things are hurling concerning the state of affairs in the church today and all that’s going on. Concerned with temporal things, seduced by the…

    Grief. LORD, how long?

    O, that men would praise the LORD for His wonderful works… O, that men would turn from their ways and acknowledge the LORD. As I mull over the things I’ve been reading and listening to over the last several days, I’m thinking: What?!?!?! I ache over the profound effect of the great departing of the truth and faith in God— If you’re listening to what’s being said, you’ll hear a tremendous outcry and tremendous outpouring of sudden empathy for the plight of millions. A sudden call to responsibility for the problems of the world (as if they recently came to…

    The three legged stool. Where in the Word is that?

    This ought to rock your boat. In a Crosswalk interview, Kay Warren had a whole bunch to say. And, by the way… this is not a mean-spirited post against Kay Warren or another rant against all the contemplative-seeker-purpose-yada-yada-yada. But the alarm is blaring. Can you hear it? A few years ago Kay Warren read a magazine article presenting the plight of the HIV-positive millions and the millions with AIDS. “If He couldn’t get my attention with the pictures, He got my attention with the words. There was a little box off to the side that said, “12 million children orphaned…

    I’m still waiting for a solution to the blog links, etc., problem.  I will post in a day or so — when the problems are resolved.  Actually, this is a very good thing.  I need to be busy at home, and loving my husband and children… you know, Titus 2 things —- very good things — and then I’ll post again.  Links ought to be repaired soon.

    dead links

    I’m not sure what the problem is with the links on this blog.TWH.site and so I am not able to correct.   Not that I get lots of feedback… but I’d like to have things running smoothly nonetheless. Attempts have failed.  I’m ready to simply post entries on the website and eliminate wordpress.  Alas, it is a challenge to be an out-of-shape-out-of-sorts bespectacled grandma.  With a blog.  And no real computer skills.  None that matter in a storm, that is.

    Improved sinners…

    You know what’s so hard about disagreeing with the methods of the pdc stuff or the seeker stuff or the whole mega “church” stuff?  It’s taken as being tantamount to judging or condemning the “leaders” to the eternal abyss or the lake of fire or whatever other word it’s called. And that’s not what I’m intending here.  I disagree with some of the philosophies and methods and certainly their interpretations and definitions of both their job descriptions, the message story they read and the places and/or methods of what they call worship (if they call it worship, which I don’t…

    and it goes on and on

    the dialectic praxis and the pdl and denial of the real Truth of the Word. Watch what’s going on—be very careful, listen and hold everything up to Scripture.  Not the message story, but the Bible – not a modern day ‘best-seller’ but the preserved Word of God. So, right before our eyes, the sand is shifting. I believe that Berit Kjos has the most carefully documented, well organized and succinct account: http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/pd-deception.htm

    No time or energy to write, but didn’t want to miss the op to post a link. More on the peaceful (and let us not forget to also add) tolerant Syria – this, according to one of America’s most influential pastors. I’m guessing poli-sci wasn’t a favourite course or maybe he doesn’t really get into reading current events. ps – the audio clip is a 3/4 scroll down the article

    This oughtta just grip you. Faith Leaders Deserve a Shot at Creating Peace on Earth. I’m thinking: what?!?! Colossians 2.6-10 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete…

    Is it peaceful?

    Do you have any idea -even a small notion- of islam ? Obsession – Radical Islam’s War Against the West And then… only in America… Can a man separate himself (or actions) from his beliefs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Qwr-LMFZc The LORD blessed our nation for centuries and for centuries America praised and thanked Him for His gracious gift of life, land, liberty and freedom. As we’ve witnessed decades of decline, we now see the results or the fruit of foolishness of a nation who, though once prosperous, has turned from the LORD and for doing so, can only reap destruction. For lack of…
