Granola, two years later

3/19/2008 – 10:52 am

It’s been over two years now since I posted The Granola Gospel.
Nothing has changed. The people who refused to “eat real food,” still refuse. And they are dying. In one case, physically, as well as spiritually.
Wake up, sleepers, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

“Holes the size of football fields”

12/12/2007 – 4:39 pm

From Transformed by Truth, an out-of-print booklet by somebody who helped shepherd the Worldwide Church of God out of their cult beliefs:
When you start carefully reading Anglo-Israelite literature, you begin to notice how it generally depends on folklore, legends, quasi-historical genealogies, and dubious etymologies. None of these sources proves an Israelite origin for the peoples [...]

Divorce

10/9/2007 – 12:16 pm

I always get a little spooked when somebody says that after they read the rabbis, they understood the New Testament better. You can mean that in a good way or a bad way; after you’ve had a lot of the bad way, I think being a little gun-shy is understandable.
That said, this article on [...]

Meltdowns

8/27/2007 – 4:20 pm

Update: changed from an “aside” to a full-blown post.
Do female church leaders of various kinds fall in groups of threes? Maybe. Today I’ve heard about Mother Teresa, Paula White, and Juanita Bynum. (I know, “fall” in the usual sense doesn’t apply to any of them, but it says something when divorce [...]

To the Jew first

11/17/2006 – 9:55 pm

To the Jew first. Converted Israel, he declared, will give life to the dead world … just as we have found, among the parched hills of Judah, that the evening dew, coming silently down, gave life to every plant, making the grass to spring and the flowers to put forth their sweetest fragrance, so shall [...]

The Granola Gospel

3/7/2006 – 8:00 am

Imagine with me if you will that food is free, and what you get to eat depends on where you go. For example, there are a number of all-you-can-eat restaurants around; some serve mostly fast food, which is fine once in a while but when eaten too much makes you fat and sick. [...]

Confused Persians and Englishmen

2/9/2006 – 9:41 pm

There is simply no way that I will do justice to either Allen (the author of Judah’s Sceptre and Joseph’s Birthright) or Capt (author of several books, but particularly in this case Missing Links about the Behistun Inscription and other ancient clues to the whereabouts of the Ten Tribes) in a weblog post. It [...]

2004 in Short Review

12/30/2004 – 10:54 am

The last few years I have had a tradition of posting an end-of-year review of everything that has happened in our lives and ministries. This will not be as detailed as the reviews of previous years, but here we go:
Personal things:

My wife’s sister, the cancer patient who we said we were helping last year, [...]

Hebrew dates in my email

12/8/2004 – 12:17 pm

Those who know me know that, when I am sending email from my preferred email client, they usually see the Jewish-calendar date on which I sent the email, and sometimes the occasional note related to the (again, Jewish) holiday season. I have been quite proud of this Emacs hack for several years, but today [...]

Dying to self

11/5/2004 – 10:21 am

An interesting extract from George Mueller of Bristol:
To one who asked him the secret of his service he said:
“There was a day when I died, utterly died;”
and, as he spoke, he bent lower and lower until he almost touched the floor—
“died to George Mueller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will—died to the world, its approval [...]
