Just a Thought

If it snarls, it’s probably not a sheep.

The Needs of The Bride

The following post is a transcription of a message shared in July, 2007. The place was a Searching Together Conference in the mid-west (now held in Elgin, IL. See www.searchingtogether.org)

Carleen and I are very glad to be with you again.  This is such a wonderful, gracious environment to share in. There’s a big difference between searching together and knowing alone.  I’ve done it both ways, and really like the together part of it.  I’m praying that great grace will be upon us, and we will really be unoffendable.  The things I share I’m very passionate about, but I’m ready to repent if you can show me a more excellent way.  So it’s just nice to have that kind of environment where there is the liberty to share our heresies. [laughter].

I wasn’t sure if we would be able to make it this year, but the Lord had me in a place of desperation. I called Jon Zens out of that desperation, and Jon made me an offer I couldn’t refuse by giving me a topic, “The Needs of the Bride of Christ.”  Be still my heart.  That settled it.

A recent book that I’ve looked at was Desire by John Eldridge.  Has anyone else seen that book?  Desire.  Good book.  Oh yes, it’s a good book.  So I’m going to get my talk over with real quick.  The needs of the Bride of Christ… Intimacy.”   >>

The Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free

Once again I feel compelled to break into the primary purpose of this blog to address a problem that has become glaringly apparent as we approach this coming weekend. It has to do with media black out of the truth, including the give and take of ideas among free men.

This weekend is the debut of a new movie, Atlas Shrugged Part One.

The movie is new, but the book on which the movie is based was published in 1956. The book is one of the biggest selling books of all time, as I understand it, second only to the Bible. It has been named in a good number of public opinion polls as the second most influential book of all time for those who have taken the time to read it.

The media silence should be a great cause for concern, and very telling as to the anti-human liberty agenda that presently dominates or public dialogue. The media refusal to mention the debut of this movie is the silent equivalent of the big lie that took Germany captive during the rise of Hitler. This is not an accident. It is not a matter of no importance, and it is not pretty.

I urge the readers to go see this movie!

Here is a link to where it will be playing: www.atlasshruggedpart1.com

As for the short comings of the philosophy and person of Ayn Rand, I am well aware of them from back in the days when I was in correspondence with her about her problems, both philosophical, and relational. I am more than willing to address those problems, should that become necessary, but the point for the present is that what she has written should have both a reading and a viewing, because it goes to the root cause of the last days of America!

Love!
