The Bible and Our Culture

The amazing story of Aquila & Priscilla

Acts 18 - Divine Appointments and Divine Relationships.
Pastors have a right to earn a Salary as they serve in the Church, but it doesn't mean those who don't earn a salary are not as "spiritual" or impactful.  
Be a minister wherever your "secular" career might take you. 
Aquila and Priscilla have an amazing story the Bible hints at multiple times but never really fills us in on the details.
Have a marriage like Aquila and Priscilla!
Have a career and ministry like Aquila and Priscilla!

There is nothing but vanity under the sun.

God seated us in the heavenly places with Jesus.

God Made GenZ different. Part III

How the culture today causes us to embrace quick shallow answers.
The threats Gen Z grows up with have them on high alert in a way their parent's generation never imagined.
Safety is a false god of today's society causing us to live in fear and anxiety. 
Gen Z is forced to grow up in ways previous generations never did; but they haven't grown up in other ways. 
God loves Gen Z!  There is no limit to the revival they can spear-head!

How the devil is trying to pervert the qualities of Gen Z!
Each generation is different from the previous--especially with the rapid change in values and technology.

"Separation of Church & State" fallacies and realities. Part II

Both clauses regarding the Freedom of Religion protects the individual from government overreach. 
Where did the phrase "Separation of Church and State" come from?  What was it's context and how has it been perverted? 
Gideon got cocky and backslide, most by trying to be both Church authority and State authority and brought destruction.

Update on City Council

The city council in Spokane have failed to hide their unethical behavior.  

"Separation of Church & State" fallacies and realities.

Gideon was kind'a trans.  He was acting like a king, but he "identified" as a descendant of Aaron to also act as High Priest.
What does the first amendment say regarding "Separation of Church and State"?  
The concept has been perverted 180 degrees through loud repetition.  

Update on City Council

There is a new Spokane city council since September of 2023 when they renounced the mayor for attending a worship service many patriotic Christians in Spokane participated in (including LRC).  Many of the most immoral council members still remain, and have acted unethically in plain sight.  For example, last meeting, they deceptively passed a deceptive Resolution about illegal immigration when they never even mentioned the word illegal and many citizens went along with it.  

How Gideon became a bureaucrat...

Many ignore this portion of Gideon's story: the dirt.
The temptation of popularity.
Proverbs 18:12 "Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility."
Gideon got lazy and pride crept in.
Pride brings destruction to Gideon and the people around him.
Beware of those who want power but don't take responsibilities.  
Many unelected "gatekeepers" influence policy hiding in plain site.
