Pastor Pusch

A North Carolina pastor plans to host a Halloween event at his church to burn heretical books. At the top of the list – the Bible. Read the full story here.

Feeling dark about your New International, English Standard, New Living, or New American Standard versions of the bible? Do you sense Satan’s presence when you crack open your New King James? If so, there is an event just for you! Join Pastor Marc Grizzard and the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina for “Burning Perversions of God’s Word”, a good old fashioned book burning. If you own a version of scripture other than the King James 1611, this event is specifically for you. Own books authored by heretics like John MacCarthur, Rick Warren, John Piper, or Charles Swindoll, or James Dobson there is room at the fire for you too!

“We are burning books that we believe to be Satanic.” – Pastor Marc Grizzard

Deeply Saddened,
PastorPusch

If you knew this was it and life today would come to an end, would you be satisfied? Would you consider your life to be full and complete? Would you consider this to be the abundant life that Christ came to give?

I am not satisfied and it is my fault. While His graces and mercies continue to fall on me daily, I often go about as if today were just another day; as if I had it coming all along. I desire to be more intentional about life. “Lord, remind me.”

My Morning Thoughts,
PastorPusch

Today is Friday, October 16 2009. It’s not just any day… TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! “Happy Birthday Pusch!”

One month ago, September 16, I walked into St. Thomas Hospital for a brain tumor biopsy/surgery. It’s during these kinds times that all sorts of “stuff” enter your mind. Now I do not know if it was because the date was exactly one month prior to my birthday, but I remember thinking to myself that I may not make it another month to see 29. It was an odd feeling that did not linger. I have said from the beginning that God was/is/and will be in control of all that happens. I truly do stand amazed at what God has done in my life over the last several weeks. I have shared with some friends of mine that these have truly been some of the best days of my life.The road is long with its many winds and turns, but the journey has been good. One of the biggest struggles I am facing right now has mostly to do with getting the ample rest my body needs. I do not want to complain, because overall I am simply thankful. I am alive and God is gracious and good. Last night was probably the first GOOD nights sleep I have in weeks. I think I got a total of 6 hours… which prior to surgery was the normal. Now, if I can get 6 straight hours… that would be nice. The other issue I am dealing with has to do with the steroid medication I am on. It has a tendency to really mess with my body; emotionally, physically, mentally. The doctors all tell me that it is normal and it is all a part of the process. There are times during the day that are just as normal as any other, then “crash and burn” begins it toil and by the end of the day, I am drained. I am really trusting that next week my neurosurgeon will cut back the dosage (there is a good chance that may happen).

Today I am 29 years old and I thank God for 29 years of grace; grace that I do not deserve, yet He gives it more abundantly. I think often about grace these days. I do not ever want to take His grace for granted. We have so much to be thankful for… even the graces that slip by us each and everyday. “Not to us O Lord, not to us but to Your name be all the glory for your steadfast love and faithfulness.” Psalm 115:1
