Confess with Your Mouth Jesus Is Lord

December 9, 2021 lovesickscribe

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Acts 2:36 ESV “I didn’t make Jesus my Lord. If you make Him your Lord that means you’re Lord because you told your Lord what to do. You acknowledge Lordship. You don’t bequeath Lordship.” Voddie Baucham In a matter of fifty-five seconds, another layer of the proverbial onion was being peeled. I listened to this sermon…

Reign with Christ, Hold the Suffering

December 2, 2021 lovesickscribe

The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 ESV The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer…

Beaten, Bleating, and Bleeding: The Path Forward From Spiritual Abuse

November 24, 2021 lovesickscribe

It was a year ago in October that I came out publicly repenting for my time as a false prophet and over the past year, I have received numerous emails from people sharing their personal stories of coming out of specific movements, particularly the NAR/ hyper Charismatic church. It has been both comforting and heartbreaking to realize the island you landed on is also inhabited by others. We are not to be an island unto ourselves. At the same time,…

Getting the Gospel Wrong

November 18, 2021 lovesickscribe

“A false prophet is known by two things: the fruit that they bear, and the gospel they preach.” Paul Washer I want to pose a sincere question in hopes you will ask yourself this fundamental question. Actually, it is a two-part question. What is the gospel and could you share the gospel based on Scripture to someone else? You might be thinking this is rather elementary, and you may be contemplating exiting this blog right now. After all, everyone has…

I Hope You See and Hear

November 11, 2021 lovesickscribe

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Matthew 13:16-17 ESV In Matthew 13:10, we read of the disciples coming to Jesus and asking Him a question, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” His response helps us to…

On the Way Through Vanity Fair

November 4, 2021 lovesickscribe

But Christian and Faithful behaved even more wisely and bore the humiliation and shame with so much meekness and patience that they won several of the men in the fair to their side (though few in comparison to the rest). This made the others so enraged that they decided the two men should die for what they had done and for deluding the men of the fair. If you have read Pilgrim’s Progress, you are likely familiar with the town…

Two Tickets to Paradise

October 28, 2021 lovesickscribe

A man and his wife were seated on a stage before a large gathering of people. Those in attendance had come to glean from this man and his prophetic revelations and insight. He begins to tell them that he wants to prepare them for visitations to the third heaven, or what he calls “raptures”. In preparation for this, he instructs them to take deep breaths while discouraging praying, stating that thinking with your mind and praying is the worst thing…

Zacchaeus and the Gospel

October 21, 2021 lovesickscribe

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:9,10 ESV A sinful, short, cheating tax collector climbs up into a tree one day as Jesus passed through Jericho. He was not just any tax collector, but he was the chief tax collector, despised by his own people for his underhanded and greedy ways in…

Straight Outta Context Matters

October 14, 2021 lovesickscribe

If you had told me a few years ago that Scripture taken out of context would cause me to begin questioning teaching I had sat under for nearly two decades, I would have likely dismissed the claim. After all, this was not an isolated incident. It is unpleasant to confess that I also took Scripture out of context during those years, from offering messages and blog posts to even being permitted to minister from pulpits on Sunday mornings. The error…

Failing Flesh, Strong God: A Look at Psalm 73

September 30, 2021 lovesickscribe

Whenever I read in the book of Psalms, I am reminded simultaneously of my frail humanity, my need for my Savior, and the glory and power of God. It is quite difficult to not see the type and shadow of a believer in Christ expressed in the confines of the psalmists’ words as they bare their souls before God. Martin Luther is recorded as saying, “[The Psalms are] a Little Bible, wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully…
