[[if you aren't a Christian you should probably skip this one]] First, check this video from Charlie Kirk (I promise, it's worth watching before you keep reading). Unfortunately, too many Christians and right-wing leaning people are sitting in a puddle while the far left pours more rancid water on them. "Woe is me," they think, "I will keep my mouth shut or I'll lose my friends and people might hate me." They do nothing aside from following whatever social movement is trendy - does anyone bother to search for facts anymore? "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you h ..read more

I have felt led to write about the rapture of the Christian Church these last few months. The urge to write has finally gotten to the point where I'm like...ok ok, I'll tackle this massive topic that the Church says is so controversial. I must - the Spirit of the Lord is asking for me to do so. The rapture itself is recognized as being a concrete event by the majority of Christians, although the timing has been debated. So, I shall give my best shot at explaining it to you and warning you, my Christian friends, to get your heart ready because Jesus is coming. Do not put this off.  ..read more

I love writing poetry (as I'm sure you can tell if you've followed my blog for some time now). Today was a rainy, foggy day - therefore, it was the perfect sort of day to write something :)  Pinterest Also, a side note, but this little blog was featured on Feedspot's Top 25 Christian Poetry Blogs list! So if you're into this kind of stuff, you can check out that link to see similar content. ------- 20.05.25 - They Sent Me A Casket ------- I am here amongst the creature comforts of a silent world.  Everything is hushed between the falling raindrops, Everything holds ..read more

AH! I wrote a book! Finally! After +10 years of telling myself I wanted to publish something as a Canadian writer, I have done it (excluding my academic papers - that's a different conversation for a different time).  GALAXY SOUL THE DREAMER AND THE SEEKER Mackenzie A. Lockhart Available on: Kindle || Amazon Paperback Galaxy Soul is a poetry collection that dives deep into the mystery of human consciousness. Mental health topics on depression and anxiety are elegantly spoken on from the perspective of someone who has lived through the darkness and now shines brightly ..read more

Hi all! As you can tell, if you've recently visited this page, I have given Hidden Doorways a very unexpected makeover. It's a new season and time to turn over a fresh page (let's be real though - it took me 10 years to revamp my blog... things were getting stagnant and needed change). I have some really exciting changes coming soon, so keep your eye out for an update in the future! In the mean time, what has everyone been up to? I'm assuming my readership consists mostly of dusty skeletons - your dry bones may take a bit to revive ... and I certainly cannot count on my own consiste ..read more

I received an email from Bryan Davis' publicity manager quite a while back, with an inquiry as to whether I would be interested in reviewing his latest book, Let the Ghosts Speak. In all honesty, I saw it several weeks after it was sent and then promptly forget about it in the midst of the coronavirus news and finishing my PhD thesis (yes, folks - and if you're a long time reader of my blog... yes... anyway *ahem*). It is quite VERY unlike me to not jump instantly on a chance to review one of Bryan's books. He is, after all, a very dear and favourite author of mine that I've grown up with ..read more

This phrase has been on my mind: “All the enemy has ever wanted is blood”. I heard it from a preacher at a Prayer Canada meeting back in July 2019, and it has resonated with me ever since. Just look at our society today; what is on the rise? Rates for suicide, self-harm, violence (as per usual), abortion, dishonour, lawlessness etc. I’m particularly concerned with the former two, especially within Christian communities. There are so many people who profess faith in Jesus who struggle to live righteously. We say we read the Word of God, but we do not practice the teachings – do we truly have s ..read more

The first stanza of this poem came to me during church service yesterday. I wrote it down and promptly forgot about it... then picked it back up this morning and added on some additional verses during my morning commute. I'm quite enchanted by this one. It has a nice feel to it :)  Pinterest ---- meadows are where i wander In the heart of a hind, a hollow lay, hewed And the heat of the heart held a hole here imbued With the whistling of wind - oh that willow-bark breeze Set aside under moon-shine and wintery freeze. Let my wolfish heart laugh with a lilt to the tune As I stamp ..read more

Inspired by I'll Keep You Safe by Sleeping At Last <3 --- Learn to dream again - Here, clothed in liquid silver silk,  You are a sight to behold.  Learn to sing again - Every solo’ed melody spilling over Roots and mosses, coming to life.  Learn to dream again -  Tucked in between my fingertips, You are protected and safe.   Turn the gears in the clockwork,  Set the ancients in motion, Humming honeyed melodies. You are sweeter than the sunrise "One" by Sleeping At Last Soaking the horizon in molten gold Saturating morning in awe.  Ti ..read more

Rain and wind and stormy weather,  Make the other seasons sweeter -  And I pad towards my heater Sheltered by the faded feather.  Pinterest Heather holds my hopes above,  Nestled in the wraps of twine Hanging from my kitchen’s spine Sheltered by an ancient love.  I am rusted and I’m fading From the current ages, freely Spinning past the dreams quite easy Tucked in thoughts charge me weekly Upend chaos - ransomed cleanly.  Five thoughts I’ve had here And one thought I’ve played;  Mix the drink and pour it slow. --  Signed with moss,  ..read more
