The 1% Church (Stop & Think)
At the risk of repeating myself, (and who knows what tomorrow may bring that would make that impossible), I am posting below the staggering reality that we are living through — namely, the overwhelming majority of the Church being unwilling to stop and think.
Asaph’s twelve remarkable songs (50, 73-83) are punctuated with repeated moments in which the only appropriate response was to stop and think (selah).
Asaph also machetes away at the questions of the doubt and unbelief that made his seeking after God an agonising thing in the day of trouble, (see Psalm 77:1-2). He remembered his personal song allowing him to minister to the LORD not just fulfil his public duties in David and Solomon’s temples.
The Church are in the blue-heat of the Fire of the Spirit God and we need to truly remember our song again. But that will never happen as we continue to refuse to stop and think.
Please watch this video below and take a moment to share to your networks for me. Thank you.
What happened to the Church in 2020?
The 1% Church
An elderly lady in her 90s wasn’t sure what I meant when I publicly announced in a local church recently that it was the Lord Who closed our churches in 2020. Uncertainty about this is completely understandable but I hope this video helps to address what is now a chasm of more than 3 years.
It’s a tender picture: a fine Christian lady in her ninth decade understandably struggling to grasp the need of God to “smite” His Bride.
Here’s T.A-Sparks:
“…we see from history how the Lord again and again has had to smite with smashing blows things which in themselves were good, in order to save His people unto Himself personally….”
Maranatha.

Why Do Christians tolerate false teaching?
Remembering Our Song in the Night (Psalm 77)
Last weekend I spoke in a church near to Liverpool, England. Beginning with an introduction to our fundamental conviction about the current juncture of the Church, here are two sessions working through Psalm 77.
Why Do Christians Tolerate False Teaching?

As I emphasise towards the end of this video, it’s not my business to know whether this kind of biblical error is wilful or ignorant — God alone knows — and I pray that grace teaches people to say “No!” to ungodliness in this church.
However, it is the business of us all to be able to discern biblical truth from spiritual folly. (See Acts 17:11).

Jeremiah 5:30-32 says,
“An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes?”
In other words, false prophets and false priests are one thing, but the love of the people of God for falsity is quite another.
WHAT WILL WE DO WHEN THE END COMES? (See 1 Corinthains 10:11).
All Spirit-filled believers have responsibility to discern truth from error.
