Letters to Laodicea

Letters to Laodicea

A labor of love from a Hollywood christian. We'll discuss things related to the post-modern culture as it relates to scripture. The letter from Jesus Christ to the church at Laodicea, found in Revelation 3, is relevant to anyone living today, especially in America and the West. May we all reexamine our daily lives in the context of this letter, and make the necessary adjustments to become perfect in Christ.

Continuation of the previous episode about the spiritual meaning of gender. Listen to the first one before this one. I continue to explore lots of ways the living metaphor of gender teaches us about the proper relationship of humans to God. At a certain point I get slightly specific about private parts, which I think is extremely relevant to the topic, but you might want to pre-screen this before letting children hear it.

Merry Christmas! from Demas! This is my first episode in a long while, and I have started a new study which should help people better discuss one of the big social issues of the day -- gay marriage. Instead of focusing on why homosexuality is wrong, I focus on the reason marriage and gender were instituted as they are in the first place. Why were we created male and female in the first place? It is a spiritual metaphor and a lesson...

PLEASE listen to parts 1 and 2 of Light Pollution or you will not understand my ramblings in this episode. I discuss several poetic metaphors from a certain poet of the romantic era, and how they relate to the words of Jesus and Paul, specifically in 1 Cor 13, and John 14. I also encourage everyone to see the movie THE TREE OF LIFE, which is a deep and thoughtful cinematic meditation on God.

I revisit my previous episode "Light Pollution" and extend the metaphor and read some scriptures that have similar themes. Hopefully this episode encourages us to acknowledge God in all our ways.

I discuss love, and also bring up some topics from previous episodes: normative power of the actual, and spiritual game theory. It seems that being salt and light does the work of preventing the new moral decay inherent in the "actual" becoming normal (ie progressive social issues). I also relate a practical example of spiritual game theory. This episode's graphic (if you listen with an iOS device) is a screengrab from The Sound of...

Prophecy and the end times as seen through the lens of Willy Wonka. I illustrate the theory of the "new new world order," first explained to me by Frank Lordi and Chris White on the Frank & Chris Show. In subsequent discussions with Chris, I developed this idea of how to visually represent some of the timelines in Bible prophecy. In this episode, I read Matthew 24 and 2nd Thessalonians 2, but there are more I could have used. I a...

This is the "warm shower" after last episode's "cold shower." I talk a bit about the circumcision of the heart, and show how the attitude of postmodernism is basically the uncircumcision of the heart. I also show how we can find hope in the midst of postmodernity, and how we can show hope to others, becuase as the postmodern self tries in vain to connect and "be known," the fact is that we already are known by the Creator—someone m...

This is a continuation of episode 22, Songs About Rainbows, Cult of Celebrity, Pt. 7 I was looking for evidences of postmodernity in the Old Testament, and this is what I found. If you haven't listened to Songs About Rainbows, please listen to it first. This episode is a bit of a cold shower, but a necessary one. A warm shower is coming very soon, in the second half of Biblical Postmodernity, which is a little more hopeful. For a b...

The 1-year mark for Letters to Laodicea! I discuss my podcasting setup, to encourage those who have expressed interest in starting their own show. Soapboxes are cheap these days, here's mine: M-Audio Micro-Track 2 Recorder http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Microtrack-II-Portable-Recorder/dp/B0019R17FK It's great because it's small and has an included microphone, and also has 1/4" inputs for receiving a signal from a mixer or other equ...

This episode is about prayer. Lately I have been in intercessory prayer for specific people and I've noticed very distinct evidences that the Lord is working in their lives. Mountains are starting to move, and it is amazing.

I contrast modernism vs post-modernism through two songs about rainbows. One was the first number from the 1979 movie The Muppet Movie, "Rainbow Connection" performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson). The second song is from The Gregory Brothers (http://youtube.com/schmoyoho) and Yosemitebear (http://www.youtube.com/user/Hungrybear9562). Whereas Jim Henson was creating something within the old system of getting an idea approved by ...

First original episode after joining RRN. I give my thoughts about the "ground zero mosque" government-media psy-op that is going on in the culture these days. And then I play a David Guzik sermon on Matthew 25, and I discuss the way I conceptualize the 'talents' in the parable of the talents. If what I say has merit, then 1st-world Christians have been doing far too much digging.

Reposting for new RRN listeners. What does it mean to be a child of God? I discuss some thoughts on this issue in the context of my previous episode Light Pollution (check that one out first). Resist the temptation to dismiss everything I say in this episode by saying something like, "We aren't supposed to stay spiritual children, but rather grow in Christ." By saying that, you miss my point—I agree we are to grow. But we are als...

I broke up with my girlfriend. In this episode I spiritualized everything about the breakup, and spoke about how my relationship to my girlfriend mirrors the God-human relationship. I offer some suggestions about what we can learn from my situation and apply to our own personal relationship with the Lord. I also discussed a Hebrew word study I did and some info about upcoming episodes. Needless to say, I could use your prayer as I ...

I salute Frank Lordi, a fellow watchman, who has recently retired from podcasting. I also give a little of my own testimony and discuss how Frank's diligent research was instrumental in helping me to prove that the lies were lies. I also discuss my take on a possible future chain of events branching from the recent CA decision to overturn Prop 8. The bottom line is that if we worship the idea of 'equality' more than God himself, ...

The Bible discourages us from being a stumbling block for another person. But often we just shake our heads and nod, not realizing how subtle that admonition really is. I discuss some of the finer points about the idea of being a stumbling block, including how to be an "anti-stumbling-block." I also discuss Game Theory as I interpret it spiritually. A "game" is basically any interaction between participants who have something to lo...
