Translating Christianese

mick — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

Pastor Moses loves speaking in Christianese as it is guaranteed to make him look spiritual; in fact, by using Christianese he can even turn his laziness into a positive spiritual statement. Wow, amazing stuff; no wonder we speaks it fluently. Share on Facebook

Spiritual Cutlery

mick — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

John is excited to know that Jesus is his food, ‘the bread from heaven’ that gives him life and fills him with love and grace. Pastor Moses seems to be more interested in his special calling to be the spiritual cutlery in the whole process; and he is the only one with the holy calling [...]

(Spiritually) Spoon-Fed

mick — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

Eric feels that being spiritually spoon-fed once a week is actually something to boast about. Obviously young Bobby has not yet learnt that Pastor Moses is the only one who can feed those who are a part of his church. The unspoken rule is that he, and he alone, has the spoon, and they must [...]

The Way

mick — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

It seems that in Pastor Moses’ church, some find being in ‘the way‘ a glorious thing, and others, well, just another obstacle that needs to be pushed aside in the pursuit of performing a perfectly run church service. Share on Facebook

Heresy

mick — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

Pastor Moses seems to get very protective when he hears other pastors preaching things that he insists are heresy, and finds no problem with publicly rebuking them for the way they are misleading God’s flock… Hmmm, John can’t help but wonder how Pastor Moses would react if someone publicly rebuked him on similar grounds for [...]

Romans – Part 9

mick — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:22:19 +0000

For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:17 When Paul made this bold statement that now, after the death and resurrection of Jesus, a righteousness from God had been revealed, [...]

Boasting About Something BIG

mick — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

Both John and Eric are passionate about their reality and how they are part of something bigger than themselves; but it turns out their boast is in two very different things. Share on Facebook

What Is Your Faith Perspective?

mick — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

So, what is your faith perspective? Pastor Moses chants the standard ‘What Would Jesus Do’ line, but John tends to think it’s more about ‘What Would Jesus Believe‘, Eric, on the other hand, tends to go straight to his spiritual guru with ‘What Would Pastor Moses Do‘, and little Bobby, well, after all the contradictory [...]

A Pastor’s Job Is To: …

mick — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

It seems there are a lot of different opinions in Pastor Moses’ church regarding the purpose of a pastor – so, what do you think? What is the purpose of a pastor? Share on Facebook

On Cue

mick — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 22:00:00 +0000

Eric is learning how to perform all his spiritual obligations on cue… but John wonders if the Christian life is really all about being able to ‘perform‘ at the drop of a hat, or is it more do do with being led, and moved, by the Spirit? Eric seems to be happy to discipline his flesh [...]
