CONNECTED, BUT ALONE? A VIDEO BY SHERRY TURKLE [AT THE BATTLE FRONT 102]

Brothers and sisters, “The feeling that ‘no one is listening to me’ make us want to spend time with machines that seem to care about us… We’re letting (technology) take us places we don’t want to go…” “..(O)ur fantasies of substitution have cost us…What technology makes easy is not always what nurtures the human spirit.” The video is right below this short introduction. And so cultural analyst and professor Sherry Turkle makes the effective case that we’re losing it…what is “it?” The fabric of human connection and the solitude needed to develop this God ordained holy activity that is the way He prescribed the advancement and completion of His Kingdom through His Lord Jesus. Emails. Texts. Social Media. Avatars. Robot companions. Virtual reality. Customized lives. Rush. Rush. Rush. Hide. Hide. Hide. This is not what God intended. As I say often, if Jesus Christ needed captured electricity to advance and [...]

WHY DID DIRK WILLEMS TURN BACK? [AT THE BATTLE FRONT 98]

Brothers and sisters, It was a time of great spiritual growth as God took me and a few others so inclined through the school of love. How? By learning to love your enemy. Doing good to those who despitefully use you. Turning the cheek. Walking the extra mile. Actually laying your life down. I discovered them in 1989…the Anabaptists.

If you have an interest in their fascinating history, write me and I’ll send the resources of their struggle that radically changed my life by giving me a historical example of how to live like Jesus. They weren’t flawless…but they were and are a great expression of [...]

THE FINAL JUDGMENT OF JESUS ON OUR WHOLE LIFE: AFFABEL – A SOBERING AUDIO STORY [THE DEVIL’S SCHEMES 3]

(The links to this audio theater of the judgment as captured on CD 3 & 4 of the series immediately follow this short introduction. You can order the 4 CD series here: ORDER “AFFABEL” – 4 CD SERIES When I first heard this audio and arrived at the judgment scenes of the five friends, I was on my face in front of God asking for mercy to endure to the end. I was absolutely terrified with the fear of the Lord…I can’t ever remember being so frightened, then or since. The Final Judgment of Jesus on our whole life…an extremely sobering thought. Jesus proclaimed every action, every deed, and…every thought…would come up before Him in a test of fire. The only exception would be those sins remembered no more previous to initial salvation. Unless, of course, we fall away from the faith then the last state is worse than [...]
