It's 10am, I hop in my car and begin my journey. Traffic is normal, the day is beautiful, and my radio has begun to catch my ear. I change the channel, and tune in to the local christian station airing the daily moody bible college broadcasts. I confess am no longer a believer but I admit, I am highly obsessed with analyzing the doctrines airing on this so easily accessed radio station at 89.3 in my are codes.
Anyhow one of my favorite most annoying preachers of "tell it like it is christianity" is the dime a dozen mister James Macdonald.
The name of todays message was "pride+time=judgement". I was so happy to have joined in on todays congregation beatdown. Now in all honesty I would probably like this guy in another life or something, but now, when I hear this enthusiastic rhetorical self righteousness, I only want to punch him in the face, and rescue the people he steals from every time he speaks his munipulitve prospective on what life is all about. Comments such as, "you are so full of pride, that you can't se how God really sees you" which is: full of sin and completely worthless. He also makes the effort to let the listener know, that without God in there life it's a worthless life. There is nothing to offer unless you have God in your life, and I'm assuming that there is teaching on how to have that.
The most memorable statement was his own personal little reminder of how he remains "humble". He decided to let everybody listening know that he whenever his name is manually written, he no longer uses a capital J when he writes his first name, he uses a small j. Wow! is'nt that humble! all to remind him that without God he is nothing.
If making people feel completely worthless, in order to give them worth through your product is a "holy" service unto a god then this guy deserves a halo. Good job james! We are so proud of how you have successfully created a group of many who now need you to tell them how to live.
Right on time I arrive, and regroup from the mental convo. In and out sooner than expected, back to the car where the radio is still tuned to my favorite station. I couldn't help myself, I chose to listen on. This time Nancy Lee Demoss is on air talking how we take for granted our bibles through stories how what so and so went through to guilt the people into appreciation. I didn't buy it, and neither should you.
If you tell anybody a book is magical, from God and has all the answers of life, somebody is bound to go for the bait. I did! I snapped the line! I still have that nasty taste in my mouth but at least im not Hooked anymore. Ok, well at least i don't let it control me...
