This message is for me and anyone else who needs these words at this time. Maybe you’ve been there: A pivotal moment when discomfiting realization washed over you, after years of believing you had correct understanding about something. One such moment happened for me while reading the Bible, when I saw clearly, from the Word of God, that what I’d believed about this world, … [Read more...] about Living In The Matrix
Your Health Is Not Our Business
Q: Which do you want first, the good news or the bad? A: I’ll give you the bad news first then the good, along with hope through real evidence you might have imagined as not feasible or possible. I’ve switched gears, in part, this month – because of something I saw and how it relates to what I’m learning about lately. It started when I saw a construction fence … [Read more...] about Your Health Is Not Our Business
God Is Sifting Even Now —Wheat and Tares—Including In The Church
Thus speaks Christ our Lord to us: You call me Eternal, then do not seek me. / You call me Fair, then do not love me. / You call me Gracious, then do not trust me. / You call me Just, then do not fear me. / You call me Life, then do not choose me. / You call me Light, then do not see me. / You call me Lord, then do not respect me. / You call me Master, then do not obey me. / … [Read more...] about God Is Sifting Even Now —Wheat and Tares—Including In The Church
Denial
“I’ll never deny Jesus!” Maybe that’s something you’ve told yourself or others, same as I have. And maybe you meant it, same as I did—do. It was during a conversation with a friend that I realized there’s more than one way to deny Jesus. And most of us do this every day, without meaning to and without realizing it. Among topics my friend and I spoke of, this … [Read more...] about Denial
What If We Have It Backwards?
We believe we are born alive into/onto a living world, from which we one day die. What if we mistakenly have it backwards?
May 12, 2024, while spending time with God and His Word, I wrote the gist of this in my prayer journal: According to Almighty God, as a result of the fall from His grace by Adam and Eve, all their descendants (that’s us) are tainted with … [Read more...] about What If We Have It Backwards?
Christians In Confusion, Conflict, And Chaos
Maybe you, too, have noticed that Christians are in confusion, conflict, and chaos. Social network users, including Christians (especially those new to the faith looking for examples of how to walk in Kingdom ways) and non-Christians, watch us engage in these ways, as does our Almighty God and Redeemer Lord. This includes sarcastic, put-them-in-their-place memes and … [Read more...] about Christians In Confusion, Conflict, And Chaos
Who God Is
Messiah Jesus told us that when certain events, signs, and wonders begin to appear, we are to look up. In other words, we should focus on Him and Who He is for us—and stay on mission for Him—no matter what’s going on around us.
So much information needs to be shared about the times we’re in, but it can weary the saints. I’m feeling it now and fairly sure some of you … [Read more...] about Who God Is
Be Sure You Are Fighting The Right Battle
“When we think of the last great battle, we must realize that not only is the future at stake, but that in this present time we are engaged in a warfare. Already we are standing in the midst of the battle. If we have our eyes and ears open, we see how the Enemy is marching on all sides. We do not have to battle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness … [Read more...] about Be Sure You Are Fighting The Right Battle
We Need A Miracle
First, you won’t believe how brief I’m going to be this month. Here goes...
These days, we’re inundated with reminders of what’s wrong with the world rather than being reminded of what’s right with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We need to remind ourselves that God is evermore with those who are His sons and daughters called by His Name and that we are to … [Read more...] about We Need A Miracle
A Nation Divided: The Root Of The Poisonous Tree
Recently I heard a podcast host say that during The Cold War, Russia would accuse the USA of doing what Russia itself was doing. Hmm . . . That’s what’s happening today between the Left/Progressives and anyone not on their team or, stated more accurately, a faithful advocate of their Progressivism religion. Because it is a religion for them, for which they are zealous, … [Read more...] about A Nation Divided: The Root Of The Poisonous Tree
