Calling a spade a spade..... Or...read on !?

Swimming against the flow...
Standing up for what you believe is right, even if others say it isn't ?

I am struggling with people watering down the truth of the bible, compromising it, saying it's not relevant for today, or....worse, some take some of it and hold it true, but other bits are questioned.

We are at war...not over theology, but with Satan and his deceiving ways, his conniving ways, his compromising ways....sowing doubt, "did God really say ?"

It's not new....go back to Eve....Eden....Adam....

What is a deal breaker for me, may not be for you.

But you do have to stand on your convictions at some stage of you life.

I am praying that wisdom will prevail.... And for those that oppose biblical truth, that God will open their eyes to a new revelation of the fierce and subtle battle being waged against us.

Sound all a bit cryptic ? Maybe safe !!!!!

I am a sinner saved by grace, I have been forgiven much, an so will try to forgive and grace others.

But a spade is not a fork.... It's a spade....

What God ordained, let not us humans weaken.

Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly.

    i think its really interesting to watch people follow through on the deceptions of Satan.

    Jesus said do this and we try everything we can to not do it..

    Jesus said don't do this, and we try everything we can to do that... doh.

    maybe one day the church, will do what Jesus said to do, and not do what he told us to not do.

    Liberal theology emergent church, is another gospel just as Paul said in Galatians.
    In my eighteen years as a christian I have never seen nor heard such an attack on the church as we have now. Its time to stand up and pray if we continue to blur truth into oblivion, what do we have except a religious idea.This is very sad, my heart grieves every time I hear this stuff.

What got us here, will not get us there.

I have been thinking about the this for sometime now. We as TSA have come along way, but yet...there is a long way yet to go, and everything we have done up until now, has given us the results we now have. It's insanity to think, that if we keep doing the things we have already done, that we will get a different result. All that we have done so far, in previous weeks, months and years and even decades have given us the results we are seeing right now. If we think for one moment that things are going to change, by doing the things the same way as we have already done them, then there may be a need for seeing a therapist. do things the same way, get the same result. change the way you do things, get a different result. the problem with this, is ..... that many think everything is honky dory....all "A OK".... and that's where the real bottle neck actually is. Because the truth is, (and many don't want to acknowledge the truth), that we are not winnin

Salvo style.... God is here.

For me these days, life is super busy. I used to think I was busy before, but now...my goodness. Now, so that it's clear, I am happy being busy with the Kingdom stuff, and would never cope if I was blatantly bored in ministry, I am simply not wired in such a way. Life is good. My ministry is good. My God is good. For those of my readers who think, that maybe, I think I have arrived..... wash your mouths out...there is no way I think that, last week my head was in such a spin, I literally had to walk out the office and go home. I went for a walk to clear my head and got drenched when it started raining, and it was really good for me... I gained perspective and focus and the next day in the office was a little more sober. It's a busy place and much is going on.... it does pose questions for me, which over time I will seek clarity from the senior leaders here....and I guess where needed, I will tweak where and when I can. in the meantime, I am just doing what I feel

A few things happening lately.

I don't think I have ever had such a difficult time.... I am well aware of issues where I have been disrespected and disregarded and my ministry count for absolutely nothing... 16 years means nothing to some.... Neither does 11 years of planting, oh well...that's leadership. It's lonely, it's hard, and at times extremely hurtful. But I still choose to stay the course, I still choose to go hard, coz I am not going home. Really when it comes down to it, when a person disrespects you, it is highly possible it is their issue not my own. I do believe though you have to earn respect and loyalty and so if I don't have it from all in my circle then maybe I haven't earned it ? Or... Sigh! oh we'll I am sure you get it. It's sometimes very lonely and as I said previously, hurtful. Look at Jesus, he was more than hurt, more than abandoned and more than disrespected. He was killed. Ridiculed. Spat on. Ignored. He was abused. He was left alone. Betra
