I don’t normally do this…
Charismatic Crackup on Law and Order:SVU
It seems the over-the-top Charismatics have finally drawn the attention of the media. The “purp” on Law and Order:SVU last night was a Charismatic. I tuned out for the most part, but the writers of the show did their homework, accurately representing spiritual warfare at it’s finest. They even mentioned “The Toronto Blessing”. The “purp” in question smothered her “demonised” child who “really only had ADHD”, and had also apparently run a cheese grater over her daughters arms for much the same reason (again, I tuned in and out). Little to say except that we can expect to see more of this focus on the crazies as time goes on, till eventually it’s made out that we’re all like that.
Fatherlessness…coming to a church near you?
I was just pondering yesterday the parallel between the epidemic of deadbeat dads in secular culture and the extremem lack of discipleship and spiritual fathers in the church. That there is a correlation is undeniable, the question is, which is cause and which is effect? I think it could be argued from both sides, but either is a shame on the church.
Feeling the Fear
Lately I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled in my spirit. Anyone else? Insight as to what it might be? Again I have my own theories, but would rather hear others’.
Reconciliation Realized
I gave up at last and joined Facebook. I was looking through the people I went to school with, and I found someone I really didn’t get along with. Turns out, he’s a Christian now too, and a musician as well. So I sent him a message asking if he wanted to do shows with our band. I just think it’s really cool to see how God can bring together people who once heartily disliked one another and cause them to get along peacefully in His name. We made no mention of past issues, just talked like we’d always been cool. Praise God for a brother found.
Also in that vain, I found out a kid I used to be good friends with, who was at one point ensnared by heroin among other things, is also now a Christian. He’s clean now and runs his own contracting business. Awesome to see whom God chose from among us!
