The Lie of Servant Leadership
It’s taken me a while to be able to expatriate my thoughts on why I had problems with this inherently contradictory statement/belief being taught in modern churches. First of all servant leadership isn’t logical at all. It most assuredly isn’t biblical either. The man was not made for the woman but the other way around. … Read more
A Moving Testimony RE: Covid Mandates.
listen to this healthcare..CRITICAL care worker in California has to say: Here’s Karl Denninger’s take I can hear it now..he’s so selfish..but if he dies because of the vax..there is now 50 percent less in his field in that town. Also his family looses their breadwinner. Let that sink in folks. We are being told… Read more
The Churchian/SJW infiltration of the SBC
I’ve talked about a similar topic several times over the years..but I didn’t know it went back to 2010. Sounds about right given what I’ve experienced over the years. Now there’s this article that exposes what is going on and unfortunately even the North American Missions Board is getting converged. Sad really..for the churches operating… Read more
Worship Music
Has gotten too entirely predictable…at least in churches. The worship music has become acoustic guitar based. Most of it is fairly predictable. Every once in a while a local band comes up with a song that’s pretty good like the worship leader at North valley came up with one called holy moment that’s pretty good. … Read more
The Current Doctrine of Complementarianism…I’ve always had a problem with it…
Grabbed this post from Redditt…and i am going to reproduce it here in it’s entirety..just in case it goes poof: No, your congregation does not preach “biblical headship” “Headship” as a concept is given a lot of lip service, but few people actually practice it the way Christ does with the Church. I can’t… Read more
Should we be afraid of worshiping the lord in groups…including singing?
Of course not. However with this covid thing around folks, especially Christians, are the first ones hiding in their houses finding reasons to NOT gather and worship. Now comes an article that basically says singing in a group is so much more deadly that we should consider not doing it. The article, written by a… Read more
I am a fan of Jesus. Are you?
I have always had a strong faith. many times I have not known it..but others see it. I have had folks tell me things like “you have a bulldog faith. You have grabbed onto Jesus and latched on like a bulldog would a bone and refuse to let go however much life shakes you.” The… Read more
Let’s Stop With The Gun Control BS RE: White Settlement Church Shooting
Politicians are saying idiocies like, “Our representatives in Texas have left us open to these kinds of attacks,” he tweeted. “Time to change our representatives.”. If you want to see what happens when there is NOT a gun free zone…this is it. How many more shots would this lunatic have gotten off when the police… Read more
A New Adventure…Being A Trustee

A New Church…and Helping to Rebuild
I have been churchless for several years. I have had many issues with churches and the people that attend them. Just about every single one of them are fear infested, SJW/Churchian infested, and cannot handle someone who is willing to speak his mind when it goes against the grain. A friend of mine whom I… Read more

Churches and The Source of my Suspicions of Them Generally.
A short post..one with more links to other posts of mine. I have not had a great time with churches, or other Christians, to be blunt. These days the SJW’s have taken over many things including christianity and turned it into something I(and others) call churchianity. It is basically our version of the Pharisees…folks have… Read more
“Christian Brothers” Strike Again
This incident took place late last year….it has taken me this long to calm down…as this was a man I respected in the local business community…no more.

A Picture of demonic possesion
Anytime a title like this gets put online folks are filled with skepticism…it’s understandable, most folks have never truly come face to face with a real demon. This includes most pastors, faith leaders, etc etc etc. Demons do exist..not in the Hollywood way but they do exist. The picture I am going to show you… Read more
Being Stuck and Moving Forward
It’s been nearly 3 years since my wife died. I have been in what I would call a personal morass. I have seemingly been stuck in one spot…unable to move forward. I was then blessed with a good job opportunity…but the sacrifice required was immense. I had to sacrifice my nearly 15 years of self-employment. … Read more
Unfortunately I Lost My Job.
I went into my last job with high hopes that my talents and knowledge would be appreciated and utilized. It became very apparent that this was not the case. Sure I was getting paid 75k a year, and to some this is dream job. I worked at home, had great benefits, and wrote reports for… Read more

A Recollection of Feelings After the Death of my Wife.
I have been asked what I was feeling right after Heather died. The days immediately after her death I do not remember much. I literally slept nearly 24 hours the morning I somehow drove myself home and then collapsed on my bed with no concern about anything else. The next month is a blur as… Read more
The Opiod Problem is Growing. What is Maryland’s response? Even MORE Enablement and a Statement of Faith and Personal Responsibility.
I made a post last year about how the push to put Narcan in the hands of all first responders was going to enable more overdoses. I am not saying this is the only reason but it is one of the biggest reasons. The economic circumstances for so many people has not changed…or in many… Read more
The Churchian Cancer Spreads. Children are not Immune.
I have often posted links to my churchian experience. As I was surfing I came across this post on Vox Days site. My experience was at least confined to me. However another parent had his children attacked. Let me say one thing. If your church condones political correctness in ANY FORM your church is infested… Read more
(Update: It approved the resolution so it is now full Churchian mode)The Southern Baptist Convention could be heading squarely into Churchianity.
The Southern Baptist Convention, if this proclamation is ratified, will have gone from one of the most biblically based protestant denominations to squarely within the churchian theology. Resolution for the 2017 SBC Annual Meeting – Condemning the Alt-Right & White Nationalism Resolution On The Condemnation of the “Alt-Right” Movement and the Roots of White Supremacy… Read more
What is wrong with the modern church? Churchianity.
Just a quick preface note: I am going to break all kinds of punctuation rules starting with the title.

I have spent many months and even years and… Read more
The Oregon Shooting and Gun Fear
I am tired of seeing Obama take every incident of shootings to scold this country on the exercising of our rights under the Constitution even though more and more of us are actually giving up those rights. This shooting was a targeted attack on Christians. Where’s the media outrage? Where’s the Al Sharptions? Where’s the… Read more

The Fear Infestation of the Modern Christian Church

Same Sex Marriage Ruling by SCOTUS
Gay marriage is only the beginning. Words do have meaning and do have consequences Mr. President to wit: This morning, the Supreme Court recognized that the Constitution guarantees marriage equality. In doing so, they have reaffirmed that all Americans are entitled to the equal protection of the law; that all people should be treated equally,… Read more
Churches: Are you ready for the government to be able to LEGALLY tell you how to operate?
Welcome to 2015 and the Obama admin has stated at the SCOTUS case now being heard about gay marriage that if the SCOTUS rules for gay marriage any institution that fails to comply might loose(let’s be honest it WILL change to WILL LOOSE) it’s NPO status. Do you understand what this means for ALL CHURCHES????… Read more
It is not about bigotry but it IS about discrimination(RFRA).
It’s not the Christians actively acting discriminatory against gays(who’s lifestyle is by definition a choice) but the other way around. Also Christianity is also a lifestyle(a choice of how to live as well). Yeah, you see, it’s actually the Christians that are the bigots….. or wait, maybe it’s not? No one targeted pro-gay bakeries, but gay activists… Read more

Persecution in America..
Are evangelical Christians rapidly becoming one of the most hated minorities in America? Once upon a time such a notion would have been unthinkable, but these days things are changing dramatically.

Ever Wonder Why our Gov’t is out of Control?
It starts at home…then goes to our churches. I have to say i’m guilty of the home bound version. I’m not nearly where God wants me to be. Secondly, our churches. If the church body won’t regulate the church according to first the Bible then secondly it’s own founding documents then the issues are going to continue. For all… Read more
Persecution in America: Potential 10-year terms for ‘bias’ challenged by pastors
Another example of persecution here in America. It is not coming to America..it is already here.

Churches Tweaking the Lion’s Tail
The below isn’t bold it’s nearly stupid. If you are using a gov’t mechanism to get around your entity having to pay taxes you shouldn’t be surprised when said gov’t pulls on your chain..because you’re wearing one! If you don’t want the gov’t “interfering” then give up the npo and you can freely talk about anything you want. Some pastors… Read more
Pastors pledge to defy IRS and get what they deserve if the IRS enforces the law.
These pastors are forgetting you are using a gov’t instrument to get around paying taxes. Because you are using a gov’t instrument the gov’t can most assuredly do this. Want freedom from gov’t interference? Drop your NPO status voluntarily. if you are paying taxes as per the laws of the land you can preach anything you want. More… Read more
Pat Robertson Forgets Jesus Was Adopted….and Shows His Own Arrogance.
As somebody adopted himself this man has consistently shown he doesn’t know much about Jesus’s gospel. I’m no Biblical scholar myself but even I know Robertson is just plain off his rocker on this one. I also work with two special needs adults in my daily lawnmowing job. I’ve not even gone to the 700 club website in nearly a decade.… Read more
Some feelings of mine….especially towards “fellow christians”

So Much For “Tolerance”
The “gay” folks just as much right to refuse business to Christians as the Christians do to refuse to the Gays. Purely Constitutional.

Scheme opens door to tax the tax-exempt
I’ve spoken about this kind of thing before. While the federal government and the Catholic church wrestle over healthcare-required contraception and abortions, city and county governments may have found a unique method of backdoor taxation on nonprofits. They simply double the water bill for churches and schools. That’s the focus of a court case… Read more

If you don’t want the gov’t or any other entity to be able to interfere with you then don’t use their vehicles to avoid paying taxes or get around regulations they also enforce. Otherwise they do have the right to regulate your behavior while using said instruments. If you truly want to be free then… Read more
Hundreds of pastors thumb noses at IRS- When They Use The IRS To Avoid Taxes

There’s a new controversy about the Bible going around.

When Soulforce Calls…Does Your Church Have the Fortitude to Stand Against These False Teachers?
Ah yes. We aren’t going to try to convince…we are going to threaten to get our way. This is typical of folks who have bought into the twisted views on the Bible.

Happy Father’s day Lord
I went to church today specifically because it is Father’s day. If there’s no other day to go other than Jesus’ birthday and his death Father’s day(a day when we celebrate fathers) i think it owuld be hypocritical of me to NOT goto church on a day we celebrate fathers.
Pastor tests IRS and sets up his church to be spanked
As a non-profit the church’s npo status is purely by the convenience of the gov’t involved…which means they CAN tell you what to say since you entered into this what effectively is a private agreement. If this church(and all others in this country) want to have true freedom..drop your npo status immediately. Then the gov’t has no reasonable expectation of being able to legally tell you… Read more
