Praying for Help – Broken Pieces
https://jerfireandhammer.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/praying-for-help
Is not My Word like as a fire? Saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? The Happiness of the Kingdom. The Lord’s Prayer. August 5, 2015. Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech Thee, save Thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD God, even Thou only. 2 Kings 19:19 (KJV). The king of Assyria had sent Rabshakeh his commander of the Assyrian army to threaten, to defame, to despise, to show contempt for Judah, her king, and her God.

Prophetic Rhetoric: The Church Pew in a Coffee Shop
http://propheticrhetoric.blogspot.com/2011/10/church-pew-in-coffee-shop.html
For anyone interested in dialoguing about the journey. Monday, October 31, 2011. The Church Pew in a Coffee Shop. My answer: having a fancy new building was obviously more of a priority than taking that money and helping the poor and needy. Is that what you believe? I thought the church was here to build people up, not tear them down and make them feel like shit.” What could I say to that? Those questions actually started up a great conversation. One of the most profound things my friend said was tha...

Prophetic Rhetoric: Somebody's Got to Do Something
http://propheticrhetoric.blogspot.com/2008/12/somebodys-got-to-do-something.html
For anyone interested in dialoguing about the journey. Friday, December 26, 2008. Somebody's Got to Do Something. Let’s cut right to the chase and get down to business. It’s been several years since we had to hold one of these emergency meetings. You will doubtless remember the unfortunate situation when we had to let Pastor Jesus go. Once again we find ourselves in a similar situation, but for somewhat different reasons. What do we mean by that? That’s what pastors do, isn’t it? Of course it isn’t.

Prophetic Rhetoric: Priority Determines Structure
http://propheticrhetoric.blogspot.com/2007/10/priority-determines-structure.html
For anyone interested in dialoguing about the journey. Thursday, October 04, 2007. I have come to believe the statement that “Priority determines structure.” I believe it is true for any organization, be it a church or a business. The priorities of the organization determine the structure of its management style. What it deems its most important priority will determine how the organization is run, and what it wants its people to spend most of their time doing. Now I’m not down on pastors or church ...

Prophetic Rhetoric: A PhD in Pajamas
http://propheticrhetoric.blogspot.com/2009/02/phd-in-pajamas.html
For anyone interested in dialoguing about the journey. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. A PhD in Pajamas. I have been realizing for some time now that life is all about perspective. I think as well that everybody, deep down inside, wishes to be a celebrity of some kind, or maybe just that somebody will notice their accomplishments and praise them for it. But life, I am realizing, has a distressing way of going on; somehow few people seem to care when we hit major milestones. I need to find a job teaching, but...

Prophetic Rhetoric: Verbal Spewage 2
http://propheticrhetoric.blogspot.com/2009/12/verbal-spewage-2.html
For anyone interested in dialoguing about the journey. Tuesday, December 08, 2009. After writing the piece below about ‘Verbal Spewage’ I had a very interesting conversation at a pub in town with a good friend named Brian. This is the same guy who a couple of years ago encouraged me not just to “think outside the box, but to live outside the box.” I always enjoy these meetings with Brian because I come away with more than when we started. This is my theory: Be the best big toe you can be! What do I mean?

Prophetic Rhetoric: The Trials of a Plate-Spinner
http://propheticrhetoric.blogspot.com/2010/02/confessions-of-plate-spinner.html
For anyone interested in dialoguing about the journey. Thursday, February 18, 2010. The Trials of a Plate-Spinner. Once upon a time there was a professional plate-spinner. He was never really taught how to do it, but over time picked up the skills from watching other spinners and ultimately just trying it himself. Over the years he became better and better at adding more plates to the thin rods and keeping them spinning. His mantra was: ‘Keep the plates spinning at all costs! But she persisted and asked ...
