New “Fire On Your Head” Blog Site

No, for real–this isn’t some re-post of an old article. We now have a magazine-like blog on the internet called “Fire On Your Head‘. It’s a written version of the podcast of the same name, with 4 authors currently. I think it’s long overdue and fills a void for some readers out there who’d never listen to the podcast (nor know what a podcast is, for that matter) but are spiritually hungry for the kinds of things that we articulate.

If you go to www.fireonyourhead.COM, you’ll be redirected to our podcast, which I think is great–because that link is easier to remember than what the proper link is. But www.fireonyourhead.ORG is a new blog site, currently with 4 authors, all with a passion and heart for all things pentecostal, apostolic, revivalistic, and BIBCLICAL. It’s like Tominthebox, but serious, or like Pyromaniacs — which IS a good and Biblical blog, but I just get bored of how narrow their focus is and how much they bag on charismatics and pentecostals like we’re all undiscerning dolts. The vision for ours is a site like theirs but from a Pentecostal perspective, since it seems there are few sites out there with such an impetus.

I’ve spent over a week getting up early and going to bed late and taking breaks only to go to necessary meetings, just trying to get this site ready. It’s still being tweaked on the back end and I’m about 80-90% satisfied with it. From now on I’m going to be primarily putting my ‘article’ and ’study’ type of stuff on that site, and maintaining this personal blog for updates and people wanting to be updated on my ministry.

I’ve wanted to do something like this site for years, but wasn’t mature enough when I started blogging to have my views ripped to shreds and react with a “that’s life” attitude. I certainly wasn’t flinty-faced enough to write things that will stir up the religious spirit and get me whipped by people who disagree on things and seem like they can weave a great web of Scriptures around me that I don’t have the time to completely answer. I’m not marketing the site as a theology site, but it certainly won’t be full of flaky ‘words’ and ‘dreams’ and visions of angels and crap like that. You can read a smattering of articles I have on there already by Bryan Purtle, David Hepting and David Edwards (authors/contributors to the site).

Those of you who know me well know my heart burns for grounding people in the Word of God, but that the Holy Spirit is an awesome part of that. I, along with the other authors have a stirring in us to put something on the internet and trigger discussion.

What happened this summer with the Lakeland Healing Outpouring and Todd Bentley’s falling, have really given the largest protestant segment of Christianity, the Charismatics/Pentecostals a real black eye and cemented the image and stereotype that we’re all gullible and sign seekers devoid of discernment. Those events burdened me to finally go ahead and set this site up to help fuel Bible-based articles to work against that stereotype in as many peoples’ lives as we can possibly impact with this site. The Lord told me some time ago when I registered the name for the podcast site, to also buy the dot org domain name. I had no use for it other than maybe having it also redirect to the podcast in case someone typed it wrong they still got where they were going.

I’ve felt it was on my heart to ask certain individuals to co-author the blog site with me so it could have its own momentum and not rely on me, make it an article site and not a personal blog. Fortunately, each initial person I’ve asked so far by writing or calling them felt virtually the same burden for a site like such, and in various forms were each feeling the Lord wanting to have them step out more in the area of inspired writing. Each of us feel the same stirring—this was confirmation that we’re on to something and believe this site is from the heart of God. Each of us in our own way feeling the Lord put more of a burden for writing, and spitting out in written form some of the Biblical insight and revelation He’s been giving us. One guy told me he’s wanted to start his own site like this of his own, but it never materialized over the years and when he got my invitation, he was stirred up. Me on the other hand, I was honored that he’d say yes, because the articles of his I’ve read really challenged and stirred me. I’m sure they will you as well.

So the result (basically) is “Fire on Your Head – The Blog”—Articles to stir you up and provoke you towards revival. In keeping with the ‘discussion’ format of the FOYH podcast, discussion is fostered and encouraged in the comments section and our site’s forum, the latter of which I’m still working on and will take a while. I’m still learning how to do some of the back end HTML stuff and site design by trial and error is a totally new capacity for me in information sharing.

But feel free to ersase my fierycanadian.blogspot/wordpress.com from your sidebar links and instead replace it with the new site, which will be far superior. You of course can keep reading my personal blog for knowing what’s going on with me, but any help people can be by linking to www.fireonyourhead.org is much appreciated.

Blessings, and fire on your head!
