Why ‘Tim the Enchanter’

Tim the Enchanter refers to a character in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  The two scenes involving this character are easily located on YouTube.  Why him?  He’s a Tim, and it’s sort of fitting in some ways.  Note – I’m not a wizard, but I do like fireworks.  I might also take you to places that seem innocent enough, and provide something you think you might be looking for, but you might end up running away (hopefully unscathed).

Participating in the Tree of Life Series: Final thoughts

This is the final post in the Participating in the Tree of Life Series.  Here is a link to the most recent post:  Resurrection and Roots . Every time I consider that the Tree of Life is introduced in the Genesis creation story (Genesis 2:9), and then is referenced at the end of the Book of Revelation (Revelation 22:1-3), I’m compelled to believe it is intended to communicate a critical spiritual truth. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations As I’ve detailed in previous posts, I’m convinced that God’s intent for the Tree of Life imagery is to communicate that believers are to be part of this symbolic tree.   We have a role in the Tree of Life, as a conduit for the flow of the Holy Spirit into the world around us, both in the spiritual fruit we bear, as a consequence of being filled with living water (Holy Spirit), and in the active and continual presence of the Holy Spirit around us, as it pours out of us, ministering as God intended, to the world...

God’s False(?) Prophets: What I learned from my year-long surveillance of America’s self-proclaimed prophets

Image
It’s been quite a while since I have posted anything, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking about it.  I expect I’ll be resuming posts on the creation/evolution series soon, and I’ve been imagining a new series with a title like American Ironies , to comment on all sorts of fun ironies which exist on the left and right extremes of American culture, religion and politics.  You know - things like embracing diversity, but canceling people whose diversity isn’t welcome, or claiming to value life, but not the lives of some people, or supporting freedom of choice, but fighting against freedom of choice. Most recently, I’ve been thinking about the end of 2021, and especially the historic events of January 6, 2021, in the context of what God’s False(?) Prophets have been asserting throughout.  Now that we’ve passed the one year mark of January 6th, and the fact that I’ve continued to surveil a number of the American “prophets”, I felt a summative retrospective on what I...

God's (false?) prophets: Are cracks appearing in the shield of faith?

Image
( Personal note: I'm not opposed to the spiritual gifts as described in the Bible. Rather, I have known and witnessed these gifts to be wonderful aspects of local church communities. These blog posts detail observations of publicly visible self-proclaimed prophets, most of whom maintain monetized online presences, and their engagement in American politics ) This is the third post in a series of related posts. Here is a link to the original post , and to the second post . Well it’s been quite a week for God’s (false?) prophets!  All hope was pinned to the January 7th Congressional session and electoral vote count, with the expectation that God would show up just in time to deliver the presidential election victory to President Trump.   While the prophets were not certain on how God would accomplish this, much attention was being given to Vice President Pence, and his role overseeing the vote count.  Given Mr. Pence’s solid Christian credentials, it seemed a good b...
