For the first time in my life I am not looking forward to the holidays. This past Christmas in particular has sent me over the edge. In the past I was able to maintain the True Meaning and Reason for the Season in my heart, and embrace the traditions of the Christmas Tree, tolerate Santa Claus, and more. This year however, I find myself severed from everything except the Savior born in the Manger. The consumerism and commercialism has caused me to no longer care about the festivities. The stores and all their clammering to make sales and convince people who have said no to their children all year to say yes at Christmas and go into debt is appalling. Rather than be close to their children all year, parents choose to make up for the workacholicism and disinterest in the lives of their children with lavish gifts at Christmas. The commercial powers that be have effectively ruined the holidays. Once upon a time Christmas Day instilled in me a sense of wonder, expectation...

The devil is cunning. He knows how to take anything and separate God from his children. He even uses church. The Church is perhaps the number one antichrist. When I speak of the Church I mean the building, business, and religious culture, not the body of believer. In 327 A.D. Constantine effectively changed  church from meaning the body of Christ followers or family of faith to a building, organization, and empire. As a result the church today is not what was intended. Prior to 100 A.D. The Apostles gave us a powerful model in the New Testament of being the church, it comprised of meals together, prayer, worship, helping one another, and reading Scriptures. The setting was in homes, and people were lead by Holy Spirit. There was no liturgy, lengthy sermon, or power point presentation. No, it was a family of followers of Christ fellowshipping in simple ways like eating and praying. The church institution today is a tool for antichrist. The very concept of creating a separate ...

WARNING! MAJOR SPOILERS The Force Awakens can be summarized as tendencies in people. You have the wholehearted person who is Rey that chooses her path not because of expectations, pressures, politics, or power, but purely from her heart. Rey begins her story on Jakku, alone in the desolation trying to survive as a scavenger. From there her life is altered when she encounters Finn, a former Storm Trooper that leads her into conflict with the First Order and propels her on path to becoming a Force User. Rye when she encounter Anakin's Lightsaber has the repository of Jedi knowledge flood her mind in a vision. The intensity and immensity of the Calling of the Light leads her to flee and inevitably places her in clutches of Kylo Ren. It is when Ren is probing her mind with the use of the Dark Side, that Rey's powers surface, and her submission to Light begins. She is able to not only to resist Kylo, but even pushes him back and learns the Jedi Mind Trick and more...

WARNING! MAJOR SPOILERS "You were deceived." -Darth Malgus (Star Wars: The Old Republic) Disney deceived many fans. They had people believe that the Star Wars Expanded Universe or Legends as it is now called was obsolete and no longer part of their story making process. The news of Disney essentially eradicating the relevance of EU was a blow to die hard fans that is best summarized in Obi-Wan's words, "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror , and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened." (Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope). The House of Mouse endeavored to beguile us into believing that "The Force Awakens" and subsequent films would be original stories, not borrowing from the Expanded Universe (Legends). This trickery is nothing short of the Dark Side at work in Disney, but I for one was convinced it was all a ruse and that the writers for Episodes VII-IX would ...

There is a very infectious generational curse passing through families. This curse is called Scapegoating. In a family, a parent picks one child to pick on, to magnify the literal or imaginary faults of the child. Often siblings will join in this activity of making the scapegoat and sin eater in the family. In Judaism the scapegoat was a goat that the nation placed its sins on and released into the wilderness. Today, it is the malignant curse that causes families to place all the blame and wrongdoing of themselves on one family member. Those who are scapegoats have a high level of perfectionism, low self esteem, self doubt, self deprecating and self loathing (hating) feelings and thoughts. Scapegoating is one of the most Satanic practices because rather than people owning their bad actions, bad choices, and evil nature in themselves and repenting, they choose to never acknowledge any weakness and instead make someone the scapegoat for all their sins.

Do you ever feel like the people you love, trust, and even thought were your allies suddenly become your most ruthless adversaries? It is as if one minute they were one person, but then the next minute they have morphed into someone else. This can happen for moment or lifetime and explanation seems to be elusive. What you are experiencing is hijacking. It is when Satan or a demon overtake a person, their thinking and mouth, to the point that this spirit of evil turns the person against you. At first it can be without their will, that they seem to wake from it later saying, "what happened? What did I say?" But later it develops into their own personal willful switch, where they uplink to the demon and go for your jugular because they do not like your growth, what you said, and anything that goes against their flesh. The best analogy I have found is contained in the film "The Matrix." In a scene, Neo, the protagonist who is chosen to defeat the machine adversarie...

As the Christmas Season is upon us, many will be getting together with their family to share the joy and merriment of this glorious holiday. For many others, it is dreadful time and season, because they must reunite with their dysfunctional families and suffer hinderance, harping, hate, and hounding questions of those they are suppose to call most dear. Rather then merriment, these people feel like they are in a sadistic experiment, where they are cornered like rat in a maze of mean spirits and mocking siblings. Dysfunctional families are commonplace in this imperfect world. It seems that few have the Hallmark family where everything is honky doory and happily ever after. Thankfuly the holy family was as dysfunctional as most families. Jesus Christ came into the world and was concieved by the holy Spirit. He was born of the Virgin Mary, who was a young maiden and married to a man named Joseph. They had no children prior to Christ coming, and the Scriptures say, "Joseph and...

In today's world people declare, "your focus determines your reality." This saying is meant to convince a person that whatever you focus on, believe, and choose becomes your reality. It has pluralism and universalism that leaves people with believing, "everyone has their own perspective, and that determines their reality." The end of this kind of thinking is, "no one is right, no one is wrong, we all are wrong, we are all right. Everyone is right." This kind of thinking is devilish and its aim as my grand father said is to "be so open minded, your brain falls out." If you follow this thinking, then ISIS, murderers, adulterers, child abductors, and plethora of other evil people are free to "determine their own reality," and after all, they "aren't right, but they aren't wrong."This mindset of everyone is right eliminates moral absolutes, and everything becomes grey, rather than black and white; and so no one can ...

Mother Teresa story is one of tears and torment, trials and testimonies. Her name is as familiar as Princess Diana, but her legacy and true story more obscure. The Letters is an intimate look at the life of this nun who felt compelled to be Christ to the downtrodden and dying. While others stayed in comfort of the convent eating supper, she went to the common slums and fed the dying. The Scripture that would seem to embody Mother Teresa is, " For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me ." (Matthew 25:35-36). In fact, in the film Teresa says to infirmed Hindu who protests, "I am Hindu, why are you helping me?" To which Teresa says, "I see Jesus in you." The account of Mother Teresa is powerful one. Teresa while already a nun at convent in India,...
