Troubles Troubles Bats and Grubbles

CS Lewis once said, " Three hundred years ago people in England were putting witches to death. ... It may be a great advance in knowledge not to believe in witches: there is no moral advance in not executing them when you do not think they are there". What does a witch look like, we wonder? We know they are evil, but could you spot one at a glance? Why is this important to our faith anyhow? So many questions, but we will try to find some answers.

We know for a fact that they do not look like either of the witches in the movie, "The Wizard of Oz". No warts on the nose or black pointed hats. No white shimmering blonde who sounds too good to be true. Both are evil. We know that there is no such thing as a "good witch". May our children be spared from this hellish movie. I have posted a witch who claims to be a real one. If we were putting witches to death in this century do you think she would be bragging about her profession? Hardly. She would be hiding in a dark hole somewhere.

The fact is real witches do exist. In Salem, they set their alarm clocks for 3:00 am every night so they can wake up and pray to their master, the devil. They love to be surrounded by flickering candles. They drink each other's blood. Today we have the "contemporary witch" who practices "seductive psychology". This really hits home when we think about how it affects our faith. The Apostle Paul warned us to put away Philosophy due to its worldly view of life and God. Faith in God alone, not of man's wisdom!

A Donut Is Not a Lamp

Don't you just love it? Not the donut, but the absolute truth behind the statement. Been thinking about this controversial thing of absolutes that thrive in our culture today. Heard a good joke the other day. A man told God that he could make another person. He told God to wait just another minute while he ran to get some dirt. God told the man, "You get your own dirt"! Get the meaning? Only God can create dirt. Science proves that man cannot create dirt.

Math seems a little out of whack these days. Common Core math says that we can make an equation anything we want it to be. So there is much deception in Math today...2+2=5 it shouts. There are no morals in Math, so it is easy to manipulate the thinking of mankind. There are no absolutes in Math, that is if you are dead in your sins and do not know the truth.

A lot to think about when trying to prove there is a God. Can you prove the fragrance of a violet flower? Can you explain it? You can't see the fragrance or touch it, so it is with God. When Jesus said, "You must be born again" he goes on to talk about the wind and how it blows. The sweet Holy Spirit operates in the same way. He touches whomever the Father tells him to and causes the dead conscience to come alive so the Spirit of man can be born again. The only way I can prove a living God is when He touched me and I came alive to the "truth".
