Divination - Confessions Bk.7 Chs.6-7
When you have a lamp for your feet and a light for your path you don’t need to roll the bones or divine the tea leaves. Trust in God. Follow Jesus. They tell you what to do for a good future. To turn to witchcraft and sorcery is to show a lack of faith in the revealed Word of God. He’s already loved you enough to give you the path to salvation.
Blessings,
Pastor John

Where Angels Fear to Tread - Confessions Bk.7 Chs.4-5
Greetings Remnant,
This week’s chapters deal with more advanced theology. I want to whet your appetite with some flirtation with serious theology. We are only doing a drive by. Ontology is the study of being. God is the [B]eing of [b]eings. The ontological argument, simply put, is that God exists because you can conceive of Him. It is far more nuanced than that, but you have to start somewhere. Buckle up!
Pastor John

Whence Cometh Evil - Confessions Bk.7 Chs.1-3
Midweek Refuel
This week's reading is too dense to do justice. If God is all good and all powerful, then whence cometh evil? We aren't going to answer it, but at least we will appreciate the question!

Love Potion No. 9 - Confessions Bk.6 Chs.13-16
You have choices to make. Are you capable of making them? Do you have enough freedom to submit to love? Augustine must choose between the Cultured Life and hedonistic pleasures. Is he free to choose? Are you? Don’t fool yourself! Having a choice is very different than exercising one.
Blessings,

A Covenant with Death - Confessions Bk.6 Chs.11-12
Sin is a complex subject. Is sin a state? Is it an action? Is it a shortcoming or an open rebellion? Is it a disease or is it willful evil? Does it matter? We are all bent to sin in different ways, but the wages of sin remain the same.

Bloodlust - Confessions Bk.6 Ch.7-8
Are you an addict? I once read that 75% of Americans suffer from celebrity gossip addiction or something like that. Addiction is not a disease. It might betray a weak will, but weak wills can be exercised, and addictions can be overcome. Don’t allow yourself or your kids to remain addicted. Don’t just fight current addictions, gain the wisdom and strength needed to avoid future entanglements. God will help you if you try!
Blessings,
Pastor John

Carnal Minded - Confessions Bk.6 Ch.1-3
Are you carnally minded? If so, you are missing the stereoscopic reality that is given depth perception by the spiritual and imaginative landscapes. You are only seeing half the picture. Atheists are like people who can’t see the Magic Eye 3-D Posters. They think they see the picture, but they can’t see the living landscape that unfolds to those that learn how to change their perspectives. Learn how to change your perspective! Gird up the mind!

Ridiculous Men - Confessions Bk.5 Ch.9-10
The Bible calls atheists fools. A person who restricts themselves to a materialistic worldview limits themselves so severely. They are like children who stick their fingers in their ears to avoid some uncomfortable truth. There are more permanent things in the spiritual realm than in the physical. This material universe will give way one day to the eternal and spiritual. Why limit yourself to such a pitiably small and depressing existence? Shakespeare wrote, “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Come and drink from the eternal fount!

Pretty Words Bad Ideas - Confessions Bk.5 Ch.6-7
My Mother had a saying. When trying to convince her that something I believed was okay she would ask me, “Would you eat a fine meal if the waiter told you, ‘it only had a little manure in it.’” Well, that is pretty self-explanatory, isn’t it?

Sacrosanct - Confessions Bk.5 Ch. 4-5
Only God should be held sacrosanct. If you hold science, philosophy, or the word and work of any man sacrosanct, then you will fall short of the freedom that Christ has for you. Put God first! Put anything else first and prepare yourself to lose it.

The Arrogance of Blindness
The truth is out there…not in here…out there! Once again, Augustine tries to point our attention to the creator instead of the created. Arrogance and pride refuse to look outside of themselves for an answer. Humbleness finds truth as it allows pride and ego to die upon the Word of God. Are you too arrogant to find the truth? I hope not! The truth will set you free!

The Two Worldviews - Confessions Bk.5 Ch.1-2
There are two worldviews that are at war with each other. These worldviews are anchored either in the transcendental or in the material. They lead to good or evil. They are darkness and light. Do you know how to differentiate them? Do you know which worldview you have? Let’s hear what Augustine has to say about them and see if he can help us come to the “T”ruth!

Garbage In Garbage Out - Confessions Bk.4 Ch.16
Garbage in, garbage out! You can’t build a life on a lie. It only takes one kick to knock down a house built on lies. One rock to collapse a glass house. But if you build on Christ, nothing will ever have victory over you! Victory in Jesus!

Love Redux - Confessions Bk.4 Ch.12-14

Time Is Not Empty - Confessions Bk.4 Ch.8-11
What do you want to be said at your funeral? More importantly, what do you want the world to remember about you when we see you there on that other shore? Time waits on no man. Question not for whom the bell tolls! Are you working towards eternal things? Where is your heart? “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
Christ is King,
Pastor Johnny

Iron Sharpens Iron - Confessions Bk.4 Ch.4-7
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). Our world has not only slid into moral decay, but we have also lost the ability to tell compelling stories because we fail to distinguish between true love and sexual deviancy. “Get woke go broke,” is more than just a truism, it is the inevitable destination of bad storytelling. The woke ideology is not enough to sustain a good narrative, much less a life worth living. Augustine tells us of his great love which was lost. Thank God Hollywood hasn’t corrupted this love story as of yet!
Christ is King,
Pastor Johnny
