How Humanism Dehumanizes

In Lockstep with The Beast

"And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." Revelation 17:1-3

In Revelation, John receives an angelic vision about the end time judgment of the great whore who is seen riding a red-colored beast. It is widely understood that the whore and beast symbolize the harlot church and world governmental systems respectively. Yet there is also a spiritual significance that gives us insight into the condition of man in these end times.

In the beginning and on the sixth day, God created man and set Adam to have dominion over the earth under the leadership of God's Spirit. Eve (Chavvah, meaning life) was created to be a help unto Adam; a life giver both in the sense of her nurturing nature as well as in a literal sense in bringing forth life into the earth.

We know that Eve was eventually deceived by Satan and that she brought Adam into this deception as well. What was the crux of Satan's persuasion? You shall be a god, knowing good and evil for yourselves. They could do away with God and be the master of their own domains; deciding for themselves their own destiny and morality. 

Getting Crunk for Christ

Strange Fire

Well, this is certainly good news for the church. All across the United States, our young people are giving Glory to the Most High as they "Crunk" it up for Christ. In fact, many churches have set-up Christian Youth "Crunk" Ministries to encourage our children in this awesome move of God. If you haven't seen it, then you sure have missed out as our young people's bodies twitch, convulse, and jerk to music. It is like watching a Holy Spirit-inspired Epileptic fit!

A few of these insane asylums....oops, I mean "churches" have the following to say:

"Crunk 4 Christ is to have an uncontrollable enthusiastic praise for Christ that demands a response of his power and Glory. Crunk 4 Christ (known as C4C) is a youth outreach project...[it] serves as a venue for unconventional methods of praise and worship promoted by Youth and Young Adults. "

Even Catholics are getting Crunk, "Speaking to a radio audience every Monday on Q100-FM, he [Father Ricardo Bailey] is known as Father Crunk, a play on the urban term for high energy hip-hop and high-energy people. “Do you have any idea what ‘revive’ means?” he asked the audience. “Revive, my dear friends in Christ, … means get crunk with Jesus.”"\

The Fire House's (appropriately named) dance ministry mission is, "To Preach the Gospel through DANCE and Win Souls to Christ. Also, mentor the youth and let them know you can still get crunk and dance for the LORD."

Can we still get crunk and dance for the Lord? Does the Bible indicate that we can offer whatever we want to the Lord and He will just accept it?

It's An Obamanation

A Day of Celebration

The United States of America is about to inaugurate someone with African-American roots to the highest office in the land. It is at once remarkable and sad; remarkable because this is a first for the nation...and sad because this is a first for the nation.

A DAY OF CELEBRATION FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS
Minorities watched this election with renewed interest and feelings of inclusion. For the first time, they could see a leader whose family resembled their own. Who can deny that African-Americans are continuing to break racial stereotypes and rebound from cultural genocides brought about by the inhumanity of slavery and the ideas of privilege which have had generational repercussions?

A DAY OF CELEBRATION FOR DEMOCRATS
The Democrats have successfully ended years of Republican domination, not only in the presidency, but in Congress. Obama helped to invigorate the Democratic party...especially amongst young voters. The Democratic Party is being reborn under a leadership that will bring about social change and reform.

A DAY OF CELEBRATION FOR AMERICA
Many were inspired by Obama's oratory, intelligence, and charisma. The Obamas are a beautiful family confirming the realities of the American Dream for many: everyone has the opportunity to achieve if they work for it. Even Obama's Administration brings to life our melting pot as men, women, Democrats, Republicans, Blacks, Asians, etc. put differences aside for the betterment of the country.

A DAY OF CELEBRATION FOR THE WORLD
Finally an international man with American, African, German, Indonesian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian roots, operating outside of the Caucasian, privileged, and paternalistic mindset of most American leadership. People around the world cheered and even enemies of this country are all stepping forward to proclaim how willing they are to work with Obama.

A DAY OF CELEBRATION FOR CHRISTIANS?
Is this a day of celebration for Christians? Given the change that this country needed and the fact that Obama will be our first Black president, why would any Christian NOT support Obama? And isn't Obama a Christian too?

I AM...Sasha Fierce

Who is Sasha Fierce?

Here is a riddle for you. How does a nice, Christian girl become a whore, a witch, and a manslayer? The answer is she doesn't; someone else does. Are you confused yet? Well, just keep reading.

Beyonce has recently announced that she wants to be called Sasha Fierce. Fittingly, the name of her new album is, "I Am...Sasha Fierce". "So what?", you may ask, "That is just her stage name, all the stars do that." IS it just a stage name? Let's see what Beyonce has to say about it. [emphasis added by me]

The Beyonce Possession Video Series

This is a follow-up to the I Am Sasha Fierce post. You should really read that post first in order to understand the Scriptural basis for the assertions made in these videos.

The purpose of these videos is not to personally hold Beyonce up to ridicule. The purpose is to help people open their eyes to the amount of witchcraft and occult underpinnings of what most people call "entertainment."

It is especially a call to the Church to "Come out of Babylon", "separate from every unclean thing", and re-dedicate themselves to Jesus Christ.

A Journey in Faith Against Cancer - Part 5

This article is part of a series which might be better understood by starting at the first post.

The Victory That Overcometh the World

"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (I John 5:3-5)

As I followed God's commands for treating my cancer with Protocel, the boundaries of my faith were tried. He showed me ways in which I was trusting the world and how this trust was limiting my faith in Him. Yet, as always, He proved Himself faithful.

Three months into my treatment with Protocel, I began my first round of follow-up monitoring. The cancer tumor marker tests for both types of cancer came back normal. There was no detectable evidence of any cancer in my blood! Even more surprising to my doctors, the secondary tumor they had found in my body was gone. A couple of months later, I had my first follow-up diagnostic mammogram. That also came back clean and the radiologist gave me a "clean bill of health".
