  Technology has done many great things for human kind. As Christians we benefit from the breadth of information we can glean from to become more informed in our Faith. At the same time though, Tech like a double edge sword, points an edge at ourselves, and even to God, as it can be used to make war on Kingdom of Heaven in ways that are not as obvious. I have chosen some things that technology has effected spiritually, and will unpack whither this is good or bad.  The Epidural  In the 1970’s a ‘miracle’ was spread that could reduce and even eliminate the pain of child birth. Medical and Science experts were thrilled a tool was given that could calm the mothers giving birth and decrease the chances of harm to the newborn or the mother. However, there is a consequence that    this has had spiritually. In the Garden of Eden, it was Eve that first sinned, who took the forbidden fruit at behest of the Serpent, and then handing it to Adam. God in addition to banishing...

  Skillet, Christian Grunge Metal Rock Band There has been trend for many Christians to adopt the garb of sub cultures such as the Goth, Punk, and other sub cultures. To look like Alice Cooper and Kiss, and something in between to attract people in those communities. This trend I believe parallels the Seeking Friendly Movement, which sought to make churches more appealing to the world with concert like bands, and coffee houses. The problem is that this mutation (latin Mutantar) is not something the apostles did. You do not see the Apostles James, John, Peters, or Even Paul dress up like Children of Darkness to preach the gospel through lifestyle evangelism. No they got up and shared, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness,righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:8-11...

  I was very skeptical about A Great Awakening movie. I worried it would be the atypical low budget Christian film that would have no heart ans yet have plenty of preaching. How wrong I was. The Great Awakening follows Benjamin Franklin in middle of divisive political tensions that could be the sunset of America after it has barely been born. He seeks solace in memoirs of George Whitefield, a friend and business partner who was a Preacher from England that came to American Colonies. In an iconic scene when Whitefield preaches from a balcony, Franklin verifies that George’s voice could reach 30,000 people! This is actually a true experiment from Franklin and a testament to Whitefield God given voice!  One of Whitefield’s lines is “Awake O Sleeper!” which he says like a drum and then “awake!” Which is from The Scripture, “Awake, O sleeper, andarise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephensians 5:14). Whitefield makes this a battle ry talking to people as if they are ...

  The internet has become a tool for good and ill. As Christians we can use it to access information that helps us in our faith walk. However, in addition to the benefits is the risks. There is growing trend online where witches and warlocks are using technology to do their spells. One of obvious ways this manifests is in sigils of Satan, pentagrams, and demonic imagery that either flashed subliminally in YouTube videos, or full on rites done on a person they create a bond with. Many are skeptical that magic and crafts can be done over screens, but those same skeptics cannot deny many had to get exorcists after seeing The Exorcist film    () and that movies & music can contain Occultic rites. Why then would the internet be not a tool for this evil? It allows video, art, footage of real rites, and the ability ti embed images with superimposing. In fact, the tools of internet make doing Spellcraft easier, because the symbol can be shared to millions rather than just to ...

  Triforce of Lorule, Legend of Zelda At the core of all three of these very diverse religions and philosophies is “I.” In Buddhism is its I will become enlightened, in Atheism it is I do not need God and I will decide the course of my life, and Satanism is the veneration of the fallen angels who is all about I, “How you are fallen from heaven, O [ a ]Lucifer, son of the morning! How  you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’” (Isaiah 14:11-14). At the heart of all three of this triad of I faiths is the concept that you are the center of the universe. Buddhists make their journey all about thief ascension in the Eight Fold Path. Atheists is it to be a humanist-consumer where everything is as...

  Deconstructing one’s faith has become very vogue. Many renowned pastors and celebrities in the church have employed this process in an attempt to reform. In Deconstruction there tends to be a spectrum, there are those like Jonathan Harris, the author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, that has in deconstruction process lost his faith, and then there is the the song by David Dunn, “I wanna go back to Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so, for the Bible tells me, yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me.”  Deconstructing can be useful when it is to step out of bad doctrines and trends in the church. The Prosperity Gospel and Doctrine is a good example, that someone would have to deconstruct their faith in Christ from it because it is a wrongful and harmful doctrine. However, the deconstruction process has perils, because many “throw the Baby out with bath water,” or as I put it, “the Christ child out with the bad water.” We have had a steady stream of mainstream pastors...
