Natural Disasters Are A Divine Wake Up Call

2 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES

If the LA fires don’t put the fear of God in you then I don’t know what would – such brutal and widespread devastation. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses burned to the ground. Poof…gone. Can you imagine? One day you are enjoying the spoils of comfortable living in a beautiful part of the US and the next day it’s a barely recognizable, burnt to a crisp, apocalyptic hellscape. Unreal.

Look, I’m no fan of La-La-Land but I wouldn’t wish what happened to them on my worst enemy. What I do wish on them, or rather, pray will happen to them, especially the unwashed in Cali who were impacted directly by the wildfires is that they would close in with Christ like never before. Yep, I pray that a big ol’ demon-slaying spiritual awakening would rise out of those ashes and LA would indeed become the City of Angels.

For the Pharisees out there who think that’s a kookie idea, I’ll remind you that one of God’s top jobs is redeeming hellish places and people that the self-righteous have written off. King Jimmy put it this way…

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.”
- 1 Cor. 1:27-29

I pray that the Holy Ghost rakes a bunch of Southern Californians into the Kingdom of God. Yep, I pray for a fresh Great Awakening to smack that land like never before and that Isaiah 61:3 would be fulfilled in real-time namely; “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”​

Clash Ministries is here to do two things, namely, put brains and cojones on Christians. Yep, our holy job is renewing minds (Rom.12:1-2) and emboldening hearts (Prov.28:1). Your generosity helps us throttle the enemy by equipping God's people to live bold, wild and free in Him. You are a vital part of this ministry and we could not do this without you. Thank you for your faithful gifts and partnership and remember to always ... stay rowdy!

Anxiety's a Sin You Should Worry About 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (Matthew 6:25) I've spoken at, and have attended, many, many, "Christian Men’s Conferences." Most, if not all of them, usually boil down to one message which is: "quit masturbating." Yep, that’s what they all seem...

Jesus Calls Us To Be Salty, Not Sweet 5 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has be- come tasteless, how can it be made salty again?

In this sermon, Jesus sets his sights high and wide in this demon rattling rant. Most people don’t...

A Biblical Prayer Against Violent Aggressors 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES When one conjures up in their whirring tin brain what it means to be a good “Christian,” who has a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ,” one imagines … A nice old man who wears a cardigan, lives comfortably, watches Mike Huckabee and says, “God bless you” every time you sneeze. Some elderly lady who clutches her pearls and says, “Oh, my” when she sees a Kim Kardashian butt pic on Watters World via the Fox News Channel....
