Posted on January 7, 2017 by ehurst

I’m hoping I can draw a rather complete image for you in terms of moral implications. It’s too easy to be drawn off course by propaganda. Let me recall to your mind The Cult. Let’s remind ourselves that it’s a … Continue reading →

Propaganda Apocalypse

Posted on December 9, 2016 by ehurst

If we were headed into a literal apocalypse, I’d be writing posts about how to prepare. We would be talking about food security, how to live with interrupted municipal services (electricity, water, gas, communications, police, fire, etc.). I would be … Continue reading →

God Wins

Posted on November 6, 2016 by ehurst

My Father’s World, Part 5

Posted on July 22, 2016 by ehurst

Conditional Physics

Posted on July 3, 2016 by ehurst

Not Trendy

Orchestrated Chaos

Posted on June 24, 2016 by ehurst

Neither should you mourn nor celebrate the Brexit vote. Let’s return to the overview. The Cult has plans to enslave humanity. Not so much for the sake of power, but to prevent a genuine heart-led connection to God and His … Continue reading →
