The Spirit of the Prophetic Assassin calls for you to beware of the Pastoral Assassins who are lurking everywhere, especially in Church settings and now even on social media outlets, and at times in the church bathroom where parking lot prophets give words to the laity. Some church members in the body of Christ have no respect for putting their mouths on God’s Ecclesia. God wants us never to put our mouth on his leadership, for no reason. It’s very important not to become a Pastoral Assassin, by spewing out venom because you don’t like the things that the Pastor has said.

Many volumes of poetry and numerous plays followed, including three with spiritual themes: "Jesus: A Passion Play", "David and Bathsheba", and "The Wife of Marobius".

Home schooling will not be easy, but nothing truly worth doing is ever easy. If teaching your children what they need to become exceptional adults both academically and morally was easy then they would still be able to do that in public schools.

Social anthropologist Edward Evans-Pritchard wrote Witchcraft, Oracles, and Magic Among the Azande after 20 months' fieldwork with the Azande people of the South Sudan. It became the founding text in the anthropology of witchcraft, and has been hailed as a classic. Although Witchcraft had little impact when it first appeared in 1937, its popularity grew after World War II. Alongside his subsequent work on the Nuer people, Witchcraft established Evans-Pritchard's reputation as an important anthropologist.

C. S. Lewis may be most famous for his fiction, including children's books like the Chronicles of Narnia series.
