    Procrastinating about something important

    I need to do something important, like a legal matter, like writing a will, or filing paperwork, something like that. I'm in fine health, and emotionally OK, blessed in God, loving God and the body of Christ. However, it seems like taking this action will radically change my life in a better...

    Has anyone here ever tried the groups Underearners' Anonymous or Debtors' Anonymous? I am by no means poor but I'm a composer and writer and try to have time for ministry focus. I decided that to have more time for my arts, trying to be successful with a small business would be the ideal, if...

    Need prayer to keep listing buy and sell inventory

    I have a huge buy and sell inventory of books, vinyl records, art objects and other things I seemed to have a cluttering, "oh I should keep," this attitude for a long time, not realizing what I was doing. I pray for a spirit to put things in lots, have a wholesale mindset, and even liquidating...

    Loneless, the Church and Social Capital

    Have you heard of "social capital"? It's a new term used in academia to describe people's relationships. (you would have to google it to get more information on it). It seems in the early church (and now in cults) social capital was high for new converts. Now it seems harder for people...

    Genteel Brutality

    I thought of an interesting phrase, "Genteel Brutality" like the way a lot of rich have the corner on empowering the poor, like the Bible says, "you did not strengthen the arm of the poor."

    We are in a Time of Oppression of the Poor, Biblical Response?

    It's pretty obvious that we are in a time of oppression of the poor. You can do a Bible study on this topic. It's overwhelming the amount of verses you will find if you do a google search on it. What is the Christian response to this? Are we so fallen that we are so full of fear of the...

    Churches, Empowerment Groups and Social Capital

    Social Capital is the new buzz phrase by social scientists. Essentially, a homeless person has pretty much zero social capital. It can be defined in different ways, and I believe a spiritual definition is in order. The top definition that comes up in google is: "the networks of relationships...

    What the discovery of the underground Christian music of 70s shows

    If you go to youtube and search on keywords like xian, psych, folk, and loner, you come up with about fifty artists from the 70s that didn't make it during that time but put out excellent music. In fact, many of these records are now selling for $300 to over $1000. The sad fact is that these...

    Do you think one could do an exorcism remotely?

    There was this homeless woman I was trying to help. She was dressed very nice, and took care of her physical appearance, but she was an alcoholic and psychotic.

    Christians in the Money Twelve Step Groups (DA, UA, CLA)

    I am not sure if other Christians have tried to get recovery in these groups. I was involved for about five years but I found that it was hard to be in a very hard core group of people who were actively saying things against Christianity and professing a lot of New Age/Occult beliefs. I also...

    Parents who don't see they had a role

    It's really sad for me to see when parents don't take any responsibility about how their children turned out. It's even sadder when these parents are very legalistic Christian who you think should know better. If they could humble themselves, and not be so hard, then maybe their kids would not...

    This is a true story. "I have been secretary at a very troubled AA hall here in ________. It has a huge reputation for being a kind of "biker AA hall" without many bikers, mostly many homeless people, or people just out of jail. The problem is, as I see it, is that many of the people with...

    Medieval Music Probably Isn't What You Think

    I have been struck with the greatness of Medieval music. It's nothing like I thought it was. I found a bunch on Youtube, such as: Heinrick Finck (1444-1527) - Wer ich eyn falck - Invicto regi Anonymous - Edi Beo Thu, Hevene Quene Anonymous - Procurans Odium Anonymous (13th century) -...
