Upbringing In The Faith

  Martin Luther created guides, books for families to help raise children in the faith. These included doctrine, theology, and Q&A so that children could learn from their parents the essentials of the faith. The problem is many Christian households do not practice this, they let Sunday Schools and church leaders teach their kids. This is folly. Children recognize what is important by what they see their parents do and investing in teaching your kids the gospel, Christology, theology, and doctrine is the most important thing you can do! More than that, having once a week time for praying, worshipping, and reading Scripture as a family in your own home helps bond a family spiritually, allowing a safe space for questions, doubts, and to express your faith apart from an institution. Setting the standard is important and educating children in the faith at home is crucial! You cannot rely on Sunday School or Vacation Bible School, look at what came of trusting public schools and how ...

The Purpose of Church

  One of my greatest complaints of churches is that our Lord is treated as a memory, the whole service is like funeral. While yes aspects of that fit on Communion, “remember his death until He comes,” (1 Corinthians 11:26), Jesus is risen, “He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead..” (Matthew 28:6); He is alive and living, not still dead. I respect aspects of the liturgy, the Apostle’s Creed said by all congregants and the Communion every Sunday as it should be. That said, if a church service does not invite the living Spirit of God to manifest and visit, if Jesus is not permitted to speak, nor The Holy Spirit allowed to move, our Abba Father to direct, then what is the point? Why even meet if we are going to ignore God The Trinity, numb ourselves to his presence and silence His voice? The whole purpose of church is to commune with The Lord, to encounter and be intimate with our Great God! And yet many are content to just recite prayers over and over (Matthew 6:7), to promote man-m...

The God Delusion Examined

  I was brave, yesterday I opened up a copy of renowned atheist Richard Dawkins and began to read. Dawkins asserts “that a supreme creator God does not exist, and a personal deity is a delusion.” (Richard Dawkins, Wikipedia). In his book The God Delusion , he reveals his bias early on. He says that he decided not to take on all gods, but specifically The Monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam,    and then says “but since I only know about Christianity from experience,    I will focus on that one.” Right out the gate Dawkins reveals he is an antichrist. He does not have the integrity to take on all the gods, all the religions,    just the Monotheistic three specifically Christianity. He asserts Buddhism is a philosophy not a faith, which is an insult to Buddhists since in Buddhism there are wrathful deities ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrathful_deities ), and adherents believe it is a religion not a mere philosophy.   ...

Director Denis Villeneuve

  One of the most lauded directors is Denis Villeneuve who is known for The Blade Runner sequel, The Arrival, and The Dune remakes. This director tends to do a realism approach, like Christopher Nolan. However, unlike Nolan he has a very specific agenda. Villeneuve is an antichrist. In Blade Runner 2049 the replicant creator looks like Jesus Christ from Jesus of Nazareth (1977), he quotes Bible verses as he tortures his creation and kills them. In The Arrival, Lovecraftian Cthulhu aliens arrive and are depicted as good and helpful when in the mythology of Cthulhu he is great grandson of the greatest evil. The arrival of these aliens has major reactions on earth, the news highlights    Pentecostals committing mass suicide, no other religions but Christian are depicted as going nuts. In Dune Part I, the Bengesseret who are witches say their religion is The Way, which is what Christianity was called and Jesus said He was, “But this I confess to you, that according to the Way...
