The old creation marked by the presence and ruin of sin has been overthrown by God's redemptive mandate...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the reality of biological idolatry within western religious ideology.  The biblical documents teach the love of God for all persons.

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the vipid and arid nature of 21st century prophetism as covered in the ancient Scriptures.  Post-modern propheticism is inherently humanistic, and seeks only to fabricate a dialectical tension that is intellectually soft and does not ,and cannot address the tough issues of the day.  Prideful theological pandering built upon a pseudo-humanist framework is me...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore what happens to false prophets who insist that God tolerates sinful behavior.  It seems today that the yardstick or measuring rod of divine perogative has been handed over to the changeable ones.  In other words, the ministers of darkness (Skotia) have transformed themselves into the ministers of light (Phos) and are teaching from their pseudo-lofty climes...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the rise of the ontologic abyss when God is philosophically tossed out by the noetic elite and society.  Yes, it is popular to espouse norms and standards that are in vogue with the spirit of the age.  However, popularity is a deceitful mistress.  It was said long ago that "Often the powers of darkness would win us to betray us in deepest consequence."  Wit...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the relationship of sexual sinning and one's organic union with Jesus.  Our Christology is sorely lacking and decidedly incomplete when there is no understanding of the body as the temple of the Spirit.  Indeed,  believing ones are chided and laughted at for not seeking out every dimension of deviant sexual  pollution imaginable.  Some do enter into this fo...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the power of the Spirit to suspend the practice of the works of the flesh in our lives.  We cannot cease the will of the flesh by mere volition.  We must depend upon the Spirit's power to deliver us from so great a foe.  Mere psychological scrunity will not suffice, we can only defeat the will of the flesh through God's power.  If God is for us who or what...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the explosive spiritual mandate to put to death once and for all the flesh principle in our lives.  The flesh principle can only produce the works of the flesh, and those who live in the flesh cannot please God.  The flesh is not recognized outside of the biblical documents and the insidious things that it does to the life of a person.  We have not develope...

Amos spoke with daring and heart felt fervor to the people of Yahweh who would  surrender the delusion of actions without consequences when faced with an enemy without pity.  Spiritual rebellion is the result of a culpable failure to hear the Word of God with a view to obeying its imperative mandates.  There are words in the Hebrew that specifically teach the inherent nature of actions and consequ...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore some of the powerful spiritual insights of the prophet Amos.  Amos was called of Yehweh to speak redemptive havoc in a smooth season.  The northern kingdom was at the height of its economic and military prowess.  It also played creative mischief with the lives of the helpless poor while engaged in soul- rotting idolatry. Amos was recruited by Yahweh to addr...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore what it means to be complete in Jesus.  The revelation of being complete in Jesus sets every believing one in a new milieu.  The radical otherness of being complete in Jesus closes the door on all lies about race, or cultural origins.  There is no rainbow church composed of different races.  There is only the Church of the Living God which He purchased with...

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the inherent power matrix of those who trust in the LORD.   Trust in the LORD is an evidence-based practice.  In the Hebrew, trust  is Aman from which we get our English word Amen.

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of the New Exodus event because the world today is upside down, manic, and drunk with demonic abandon.  Sanity is a relic of the past, and culture has morphed into a species of madness that is no longer capable of self-reflection.  The Road Less Traveled is all too real these days.  The Striptease of Humanism has shown the world that it was th...
