Former members of Anthrax and Accept

March 25, 2009

Former members of Anthrax and Accept have joined in a new project… and it is Christian music.

Check out their project at their 4 Inch Nails Myspace page. Early comments by one of my “friends” was… “How’d guys formerly w/Anthrax & Accept write such panty-wearing Christian music? Thought it would rock!!! ” LOL!

This is a great site with thought provoking videos. This video is a great reminder of what is important… and that we sometimes forget.

Are the "new" Online Discernment Ministries more like the cults?

March 21, 2009

I made an observation a while back in 2007 that some ODM’s seem more cultish and at least may have many of the warning signs of danger. I went against my “rule” to not delete things on this blog and had deleted a few things in the name of peace in hopes some would seek peace also. Yet the post in “sorts” is still available at CRN.info. In a way I meant it as a joke, yet still was shocked to see the list from Cultintervention.com seemed spot on concerning Ken Silva at least.

The observation was that Ken Silva met 9 out of 10 of these warning signs.

Somehow in all this mess I have become friends with Richard Abanes (don’t blame him!) who I see is a very fair and balanced writer when it comes to apologetics. He has a post that I think is a must read and also gives great insight into what I observed in 2007.

I see more an more the ODM are on a dangerous slide into cultism and apostasy… in their zeal to preserve and protect God and His Truth (Which if you think about it is anti-biblical as God and His Truth protect us.) I also recommend Richard’s other post he cites in his post.

Face of Emerging changing?

March 21, 2009

I just read an interesting article at Emergent Village where Jonathan Brink is covering the latest Emerging Church conference. I found it interesting that as I have stated for over a year now that emerging will be morphing into something different. For a while emerging has been called, “young, white, rebellious, adolescent”… etc, yet, as one that is a bit older myself than the “average” emerging (whatever that is!) I found that the face of emerging is much older. Johnathan mentions, “The average age in the room was at least 50.” BTW, if that is true, then I am one of the young ones at age 44! lol!

So is Emergent coming of age? I have more thoughts on this yet not enough time to get them written down. Suffice it to say, I remember many time as a youngster, that I would sit through teachings on how God used the young to bring on revival. My view is that emerging IS the revival that so many desire… and is spreading.
