Amusements


After listening to a fantastic sermon by Pastor Jim McClarty today, I have a clearer understanding as to why and how the modern charismatic sector of the professing Church is so breathtakingly oblivious to that which is so blatantly evident to all BUT them.

Lulled into la la land by their endless entertainments and seductive curtain call serenades, and for having turned inward for guidance to that mythical anthropic divinity they pamper within, they have become altogether void of any vestige of discernment. They are indeed perishing for their lack of knowledge. There is in their 'community', a drought of the preaching of God's Word. They are therefore, one might say, in a perpetual state of theological delirium. They have been dumbed down with an endless succession of demon doctrine diets. And their amusements... gifts from the master seducer.

The word Muse means To Think. When the preface 'a' is added to a word, it changes the meaning of the word following it. For example, Moral (With Morals) when prefaced by the letter 'a' the word becomes amoral and embraces the meaning Without Morality. Asexual (without sex - gender) and so on. Therefore when Muse (To Think or With Thought) is prefaced by the letter 'a' the word comes to mean Without Thought.

Therefore Amusement means Without Thought, which explains why all too often the preaching in these entertainment arcades unashamedly masquerading as the true Church, is oh so shallow, the tribal chanting oh so long, and the people oh so... weird.

Just so sad to watch.
