IndyWatchmanHave you ever heard of a Freudian slip. Well I’m no fan of Freud but I do believe many of the things we let slip come from deep reservoirs of unconscious prerogatives we adhere to, even if we don’t voice them. Our heart will cause our mouth to say things against our will and show […]
One of the Greatest Needsby T. Austin-Sparks One of the greatest needs of our time is to plough our way down through the heavy and tangled growth of Christian doctrines to the virgin soil of spiritual life and reality. A master-stroke of the great subverter, in his purpose to neutralise spiritual effectiveness against his kingdom, […]
by T. Austin-Sparks The Cross and Deception Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31; 2:1-5. 1 Cor. 1:18: “The word of the cross… is the power of God.” 1 Cor. 1:23,24: “We preach Christ crucified… unto them that are called… Christ the power of God.” 1 Cor. 2:2: “I determined to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ […]

The Church isn’t supposed to be deceived, after all, isn’t the Church the repository of truth? Isn’t the “lost” being saved from the deception and lies of the world by the Church? […]

It has always been a curious thing to me this thing called "religion."
