Being ‘holy’ doesn’t mean having squeaky-clean morality. It means ‘other than’, ‘weird’, or ‘right out there’. The angels aren’t saying, “GOD YOU ARE SO PURE AND CLEAN!” That’s a given, but they are saying, “GOD, YOU ARE SO DIFFERENT AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE EVER SEEN, SO WE HAVE TO MAKE UP A NEW...
I’m glad this week is over. 2011 tried its best to kick my ass this week. Did a pretty good job on some of my family members and friends who have had a rougher week than I did. It was a good year, but a hard one. I will be glad to see it gone. Welcome, 2012. You’re going to be better. Or else.

No more tolerating bad theology. If you’re preaching doctrine that enslaves people, Holy Spirit and I are gonna let loose and actively confront you. I was a slave to religion for 21 years and love people too much to let you hurt them. Love ya.

So last night, I ran into this awesome girl. She prayed for me, and then, for the first time in seriously over a year, I got kind of…drunk…in the Spirit…I guess. And you know what happened? I started looking around. Because I saw it in my head, it was a woman in blue scrubs needing to know that who she is and all she does is seen and appreciated. And then...

Who cares if they judge you? If you’re living a life vitally connected to the Source, Jesus, then you are living a proper spiritual life according to Romans 8. The natural cannot judge the spiritual. If they judge and criticize you without the Spirit, they are speaking gibberish, like the muted-trumpet voices of the adults in the Peanuts cartoons. Anyone who is feeding you scriptures but not...

At 13 I asked a youth group leader how to memorize Scripture. He gave me a complicated (but well-intentioned) card system that didn’t work for me. Many years later, I met Mr. Scripture himself, Holy Spirit. I listened to sermon after sermon on my tape player (and later, two CD players and an mp3 player). Holy Spirit showed me that our spirit is like a sponge. It will soak up everything....

Grace-filled Confessions
After a series of very difficult weeks, I was pouring my heart out to a friend, who prophetically wrote up this nice list of grace-filled confessions for me. I just found it while cleaning off my computer’s desktop, and thought that some or all of it would be useful to some of you who are going through a crapfest right now. I’ve been through long drawn-out ‘deliverance’...

Listening to Toto, their 2006 ‘Falling In Between’ album. It’s hitting different ears. In 2006 I would have gone insane listening to ‘secular’ music for any length of time, thinking that demons would infect my brain (or something like that). Now I’m just sitting here, enjoying some awesome music with Jesus. Grace is amazing.

People have archived all of the episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on the Internet. Am I in heaven?
So many Christmas carols with vital information! Were it not for ‘I Saw Three Ships’, I would not have known of the maritime escapades of Mary and the baby Jesus on Christmas day in the morning. And who knew that alligators had it out for snowmen? This is a menace! WE NEED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION, PEOPLE.

People get mad a lot of times about things that ‘disrespect God’, especially around this time of year. Most of the time this is because of personal insecurities on their part. But if you actually ask Jesus about it, almost all of the time he will smile and laugh. Our ‘mean’ words truly don’t bother him.
Jesus is not fragile.
People have been disrespecting God for...
