I am about 100 miles north of my usual haunts. It is a long weekend, and I need a break. So this morning, sitting in a small bed and breakfast, with two coffees in me, I am contemplating which church to go to. One says on its website. As an outward looking church we will … Continue reading A mecha to make us mature. [Eph 4]

The elite are godless, And Perverted. And weighed, and found wanting.
There is an enemy and that enemy wants to destroy the church and the gospel because they don't want the competition. Regardless. This means that your “basic, deep-rooted ideas” are wrong, comrade, and your ideas “need to change.” Under the radical feminist regime, everyone must be forced to think exactly what the Godless Perverts tell … Continue reading The elite are godless, And Perverted. And weighed, and found wanting.
The body matters: judgement will come [I Cor 4]
There as some who pervert the teachings of God, and two errors are corrected here. The first is that the boy does not matter. We can eat whatever we like, get unfit: we can do whatever act we want, for God will forgive us and all is well. We have been saved. The second error … Continue reading The body matters: judgement will come [I Cor 4]
Obamacare is a fail. More data.
I work in a socialized health system, in a moderately rich country. We cannot afford to have something like Obamacare: it costs too much. Over here, the local health board (my covers the bottom half of the South Island, where about 400 000 people live) get bulk funded by the state and then told to … Continue reading Obamacare is a fail. More data.
Truth trumps “correct” speech [II Cor 4]
I was running last night and thinking about the weekend to come, and what would happen if I said precisely what was in my head. Particularly about marriage, or training young people, or elder-ship in the church. I would eat alone. Which never worries me that much: a long weekend is coming and the boys … Continue reading Truth trumps “correct” speech [II Cor 4]
Being a wife is a not a romance. Nor is it a job.
I had to go to the clinical job after a day at uni and left late. Which annoys me. One of the reasons I work for the university -- and accept the lower salary -- is so I can leave on time. When the boys were younger, this translated into time at home after school … Continue reading Being a wife is a not a romance. Nor is it a job.
Our papers are not our life [II Cor 3]
This world runs on credentials. To remain employed, I have to remain a fellow of a college, current with my dies, with my continuing education done (and at times audited). It is not enough to say it: you have to produce the paper: the college has certified copies of all my degrees. I write letters … Continue reading Our papers are not our life [II Cor 3]
Have faith. God will swallow Chulthu.
I'm a bit worried for Brother Donald. He's trying to be faithful in the UMC, when the church is going heretical really quickly. Dalrock did call him out for tolerating female led leadership within his church. On this, Donald has but one choice: leave the UMC. For they are rigorous in their enforcement of church … Continue reading Have faith. God will swallow Chulthu.
Is multiculturalism institutionalized idolatry? [Duet 4]
Most of the time when I think of idols -- which is what this text is about -- I think of ideology, and those poor classes of people who have been drafted as out victims whom must be protected (and must never lose their victim status). But that is not the only type of issue … Continue reading Is multiculturalism institutionalized idolatry? [Duet 4]
I think the churchian elite would reject Jesus joining them.
Donald Sensing linked to this, and so did Dalrock, but they missed the key point. The elite of a liberal Methodist denomination (The connectional table) wants to dissolve connectivity and church discipline because tolerance. But they quoted the wrong part. The correct part to quote is this: these liberals would reject Christ. And in regard … Continue reading I think the churchian elite would reject Jesus joining them.
