I would rather die

“Elijah and other men of God in the OT who with radicality and severity — to the dismay of entire generations — made their appearance and to many seemed to be subverters. Enthusiasts do not arise on their own initiative. They think of themselves as called and ordained for their service, which excludes all purely personal interests. An intolerable burden rests upon them.” (Hans-Joachim Kraus)

Good friends of mine — good men — as well as the ‘bad figs’ in the Church whose error goes before them, (1 Timothy 5:24), think that I am wrong, that God didn’t close the Church en masse as an act of judgment, such is our spiritual whoredom.

Had the Holy Spirit not primed my heart to publicly call for such in January 2020 (before any sign of church closures being imaginable) perhaps I would be swayed.

But the LORD has spoken to my heart and far be it from me to deny that…I would rather die.

Why Church Leaders Rage…

“…if one’s appeal for moving on with the Lord seems to people to involve their having to move away from this or that or some other thing, then there is warfare; which shows that Satan in his eternal campaign of idolatry, has got a footing amongst Christians in relation to things which take the place of the Lord Himself. And you find, if you are spiritually sensitive, that you are not just encountering the established institutions, but you are encountering a terrific spiritual force.”

Turn with me to Jeremiah 24 and consider the basket cases of today’s Church leaders…

Should Jermaine Jenas have been sacked?

Men in their forties are known as being in the most vulnerable demographic for suicide which highlights a duty of care that The BBC have to Jermaine as well as the women with whom Jermaine has been inappropriate.

Does what has happened here with Jermaine, unlike Huw Edwards, warrant being sacked? Does it require Jermaine to “lose everything”?

The BBC have thrown him under the bus because of their chronically damaged reputation, which lies in tatters, and their gross, amoral hypocrisy. It is they who should be sacked.

No Lasting City

In the midst of life’s complexities, we’re on a journey of faith, seeking true purpose and allegiance to Christ. As we navigate through fleeting moments, we ponder our priorities and willingness to embrace discomfort for the sake of spiritual growth. Let’s align our hearts with the path that leads to Him, the coming King.

The Thing With Keswick & Brephos…

A senior Christian leader in the US abruptly turned on me after expressing love and admiration. My provocative statement about an adulterous bride and a false gospel led to my cancellation. What’s the connection to CBR-US/UK and Keswick’s leaders’ disgrace? We must safeguard the right hand of fellowship amidst the encroaching darkness.

My Message to Justin Welby & HTB

Jesus issues a warning of great exclamation in Luke 12 — that we must be very careful to fear Him who has authority to throw us into hell…rather than man who can but kill the body. I publish this video because I fear Him infinitely more than any man. My message to Justin Welby & HTB ⚔️
