Here's the latest installment of an ongoing series I've titled "Mind Burp". It's my version of lark's tongues in aspic, a rare delcacy for those of strong constitution, formulated and prepared for my honorable readers.

Another Jesus
Dear reader, we are in a, or the, age of deception, in which Jesus Christ is being mis-represented, mis-quoted, diminished, maligned, and impersonated. We need to look to the the Scriptures to see what Jesus is really like, what he really said, what he really did and what he really will do. We also need to heed his warnings about our time, and to not go the way of those who put the words of deceietful man and docrtines of demons above the words of our Lord.
Faith and Feelings
A large number of Christians are dependent on feelings as a measure of their walk with the Lord. If they have warm, fuzzy, tingly feelings, or if they're losing control of their bodies, they think the Holy Spirit must be present. The corollary, then, is that if they're not losing control, and if they don't have those feelings, the Lord is not there. This, dear readers, is not the fulfilment of faith: it's the opposite of faith.
Tongues and Cessation
A common defense of the modern expression of speaking in tongues in Christian circles is commonly defended, with the insistence that God's power and "Holy Spirit" power was not limited to the first century.
Obsession with the Holy Spirit Diminishes Jesus Christ.
In our time an obsession with the Holy Spirit, and a faulty peception of the work of the Holy Spirit, rules in a large percentage of the professing Church. It's reached such a level that many Christians will hardly talk about Jesus, or about the Father: it's all about the Spirit. Is this the work of God, or is something else going on?
