You are invited to the Book Launch for “Recovering Truth, Freedom, and Democracy: Challenging Woke Totalitarianism” on Saturday September 07 at 10.00 at Holy Cross Anglican Church, 2424 – 19 St. N.W. Calgary. Rev. John Gishler will give a brief explanation of what the book is about, why he wrote it and facilitate a group conversation about challenging woke totalitarianism in Canada. There will also be a brief presentation and book signing later at 2.00 pm. At Better Books and Bibles 600 – 16 Ave NW. 

A warning that nations that lose their respect for Judeo – Christian divine truth   descend into social chaos, mass violence and totalitarian rule – Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin. A call to the silent majority to challenge and replace the woke politicians governing churches, schools, universities, professions and countries with responsible leaders who will recover and protect the objective spiritual and scientific truth our freedom and democracy was built on. This researched guide exposes the false replacement truths of woke New Left Marxists, environmentalists, extreme feminists, LGBTQ and diversity activists as the opposite of scientific, psychological and biblical truth. Clergy will be interested in the challenge to recover 7 lost spiritual truths that are identified and explained in biblical context. Look inside and more information on the Recovering Truth, Freedom, and Democracy page above.

 

 

I Am the Bread of Life (Proper 19 year B)

 There are four weeks of readings all based on this important issue of who Jesus is. John is an eyewitness. His account is different – meant to be read with spiritually opened eyes. We are in Pentecost where the readings for each week teach us about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the life of the church.

 

1. The Church has lost its supernatural truths

In writing Recovering Truth, Freedom, and Democracy: Challenging Woke Totalitarianism, I had a word of knowledge. 

·      Writing about the Judeo-Christian foundation of truth all thriving democracies are based on and explaining how these have been lost as they contradicted the false truth of various woke activists.

·      Realized in my research I had identified 7 spiritual truths that have been almost lost as the Church expanded, grew, became intellectualized and politicized and was led by men who had not had the same experiences of Holy Spirit as the first Apostles.

Anyone Who Lives in Christ Is a New Creation (Proper 11B)

     Paul is explaining how things work in the unseen world (2 Cor. 5 6-17) The unseen or spiritual dimension is the theme of all the teachings in Pentecost. The Samuel Reading reminds us we are judged not by appearance but what is in our heart. Jesus’s parables of the seed growing unseen reminds us we are part of God’s order and process of creation, which is unseen, out of our control and is a lost spiritual truth in our time.

Pentecost: The Work of the Holy Spirit (Year B)

  

I had an Epiphany moment as I finished the finished the first draft of Recovering Truth, Freedom, and Democracy. I was explaining how the foundation of Judeo-Christian supernatural truths was deconstructed because they contradicted the false truths of extreme liberalism, feminism, and LGBTQ activists. Holy Spirit showed me what the seven lost truths were. The Seventh was “Holy Spirit as the continuing presence of Jesus”.

John 15.16-16.15 for Pentecost Sunday explains the work of the Holy Spirit in helping us see our sin and understand righteousness and divine judgement.

 

1. The Holy Spirits helps us see our sin (John 16.8)

Witnesses To the Resurrection (Easter 7B)

The Readings begin with the choosing of Matthias as a witness who has been with Jesus from the beginning. The First letter of John explains the importance of the testimony of God as a reliable witness who must be trusted. The Gospel Reading (John 17.6-11) is Jesus’ prayer for the Apostles protection as they go out into the world as witness to the Resurrection.

 

1. Witnesses Know Something Important and Special

Good Shepherd Models Sacrificial Love (Easter 4b)

“You Are Witnesses Of These Things” (Easter 3)

The Disciples are witnesses to an extraordinary event. They physically touch the Risen Jesus and see Him eat food. They are witnesses to the “resurrection of the body” - as we say in the Apostles Creed. You do not choose to be a witness. You are a witness because you were there and saw or experienced something. In our baptism we promised to obey Jesus which includes being a witness. Witnesses who share what they have seen or experienced are essential to evangelism. 

 

1. You are my witnesses of these things (Luke 24.48)
