Let the Proud Laugh - Confessions Bk.4 Ch.1-3
Voodoo and Hoodoo are doodoo. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. These and other New Age doctrines are infiltrating the church and the church seems to be either too ignorant or too cowardly to stop it. What is going on? What happened? Is it new? I find it interesting that Augustine himself is fighting the same battles with which we find ourselves today. Bad news…there is a war. Good news…we have always won it!
Christ is King,

Handful of Quibbles - Confessions Bk.3 Ch.8-12
Quibbles and Bits. Quibbles and Bits. I’ve had enough of Quibbles and Bits. Augustine tells us of the transcendental nature of God’s law as compared to the law of the land and the law of culture.
Christ is King,
Pastor Johnny

Do You Have Ears? - Confessions Bk.3 Ch.6-7
How does the Scripture compare with Gnosticism? Has Gnostic teachings snuck into the church? Augustine compares his time with the Manichee teachings with his new found Christian enlightenment. Let his experience help you navigate the theological chaos overwhelming the church in these strange days!

Not Discovered by the Wise - Confessions Bk.3 Ch.3-5
Are you lost in the maze? Does the Matrix have you? Is the thimble in plain view or has someone rigged the game? The satanic simulation has indeed rigged the game, but there is good news! Will you have to dodge false philosophies and the traps of evil men? As Morpheus might say, "When the time comes, you won't have to!"

Greetings Confessors,
What does it mean to be pro-choice? Choose to have choice. Choose to be self-controlled so that you can be free in Christ! You have no choice if you are enslaved by desire.

I have a hero! When I was a kid, I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker or Dr. Who, but when I grew up and put childish things behind me I found a true super hero! Jesus is not just my Savior and Lord, He is my Hero in every way. I want to be his sidekick. I have even received my superhero name on a white stone. Who is your hero?

Greetings Confessors,
Augustine tells us, in this week’s lesson, the value of fitting in…which is zilch! I also missed a major lesson during the videoing of this lesson and wanted to make sure that you spot it. Pay attention to the overwhelming affect that Augustine’s mother has on her household.
Blessings,

MR-2022-11-23 - Confessions Bk.1 Ch.6-7
Greetings Confessors,
This weeks reading takes us to so many different locations that it was daunting to write the lesson. Augustine tackles original sin, the hideousness of tyranny, the question of the preexistence of souls, and many other interesting topics. There is far too much here to do it justice in forty minutes. Please read it for yourself and absorb each wonderful line!
Blessings,
Pastor Johnny

Greetings Confessors,
We open the book only to find questions. But sometimes — Sometimes! — questions are answers within themselves. The worldly wise-man has forgotten this mystery. Yet it is in this mystery that we encounter the Invisible God! Are you ready to approach the emptiness between the Cherub wings? You must be at least this high to ride!
Godspeed,Pastor Johnny (I confess!)

MR-2022-11-09 - Pilgrim's Regress - Afterward Pt. II
What is your ultimate desire? Can it be filled, or is the longing also the filling itself? If you are made thirsty, does that not also mean that the creator also made water to quench? Hope you are blessed and I look forward to next weeks new book, "The Confessions of St. Augustine."
Godspeed,
Pastor Johnny

MR - 2022-11-02 - Pilgrim's Regress - Afterward Part 1
Greetings Spiritual Pilgrims,
This week, we look to see what Lewis has to say for himself. He was known as one of the most friendly people you could ever run into. Part of his charm was his ability to self-deprecate without being masochistic or secretly seeking an ego boost. He speaks the truth that he has put to the test. In the afterward, he talks about how the word “Romance” has been used so often for so many different things that it has become worthless. I will address the same issues that the word “Love” has encountered in our own day and how the foolish have allowed their language to be stolen from them. Below is the link to the book I mention in the video.
Godspeed!Pastor Johnny

MR - Pilgrim's Regress Bk.10 Ch.6-7 - The Lust of Tyranny and the Tyranny of Lust

Greetings Spiritual Pilgrims,
This week our heroes are nearing the end of their journey, and it is quite telling which evils they run into near the end. They run into the two greatest destroyers of men that the enemy has…Ignorance and Lust. I hope that this lesson hits home, but I hope it hits with empathy, forgiveness, and encouragement for tomorrow. You are not alone. You are not weird. You are not helpless. You are a warrior, and just because the devil wounded you in battle doesn’t mean you are down for the count. I know a savior that brings even the dead back into the fray.
Godspeed,
Pastor Johnny

MR - Pilgrim's Regress Bk.10 Ch.3-5 - Is God a Decent Chap?
Donations: https://tithe.ly/give?c=4911376
Website: www.remnantpeopleoftheway.com
Facebook: www.facebook.com/RemantPotW
Greetings Spiritual Pilgrims,
Is God a Decent Chap? Is that a decent question? It unnerved me at first glance, but then it started to settle in and make sense. Lewis does not imply that God is indecent, but rather that He does not conduct Himself in ways that conform to our Pride's and Ego's demands of what they subconsciously or consciously dictate to our minds, to our worlds, and to our spirit of the age as decent. Human decency changes over time. What was acceptable just a few years back is now taboo, while what was taboo is now celebrated with PRIDE. So, a student of history finds themselves freed from the moors of their day's demands of decency. But because we are freed from that illusion, we must then turn to something else besides prideful decency in order to construct a new (or perhaps old) way of living.
We will also talk for a while about the problem of pain. The Angel guide tells our heroes that pain is a gift. Is pain a gift? And if it came wrapped in flashy colors, would you be more inclined to celebrate the discovery of what lies within? Can a Christian ever come to terms with the gift of pain, and if so...what does the world look like for them from there on out. Would it make the a freak or a saint? Maybe, it makes them an alien and a stranger in this prideful land. It isn't the most exciting gift for anyone to be sure, but all the same, I will take Christ's gift of pain over the world's sense of security any day of the week. And I didn't get there without suffering and then seeing how suffering, when done right, lines oneself up with the Word made flesh, and just like the yellow rays of Earth's sun on Superman, so also the Red Blood of the Son on me!!
Godspeed,
Pastor Johnny

Midweek Refuel (almost) - Pilgrim's Progress Bk.10 Ch.1-2 - Fear Not For I Am With You

Website: www.remnantpeopleoftheway.com
Facebook: www.facebook.com/RemantPotW
Greetings Spiritual Pilgrims,
This week our heroes return to the real world. What they did not realize is that they have never truly lived in the real world. The journey across the divide opened their eyes to both the physical and spiritual realities that lie before all of us. They realize that the world is a much more dangerous place than they ever thought. Courage is the only thing that is going to bring them safely into the Landlord's Castle. They do not take this lightly. No! They take it seriously...Like we all should!

Website: www.remnantpeopleoftheway.com
Facebook: www.facebook.com/RemantPotW
Greetings Spiritual Pilgrims,
Today's reading takes us into the land of mortification. Jesus told us that to live we must pick up our crosses and die to ourselves daily. Our Hero John has gone about the wrong way to arrive at the right conclusion. May His journey make ours all the shorter. If we are wise, we will heed the warning and learn as much as we can from those that have gone before us. It is here that our Regress becomes progress!
I will try and have Sunday's message rerecorded sometime this week for those that are interested.
Love you all - Godspeed!
Pastor Johnny

The use of History in our spiritual development. Why History matters. Why we stand on great shoulders. Why we hurt ourselves when we jump off of them!
